The Incoming Transfers Everywhere Thread: Summer 2023

Can he get us some money for Guedes then? Ta.

Already on his way to Benfica.

On loan obvs, can't be getting a fee for him. Shi wouldn't be that competent.

 

[Freddeno]

Didnt really expect City go for Nunes..we must get some bodies in now then..at least a good midfielder, hopefully a cb too

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

No-one is paying for Guedes because he's a rubbish player with additional recurring knee issues for the whole of 2023.

That's just making an obviously shit signing (as anyone who'd ever watched him play could have told you) and having to swallow a big loss.

Pep spoke very highly of him after City played Sporting before he joined us: he either said he is, or had the potential to be, one of the best in the world.

Pep isn't some infallible sage of signings/development, even as good as he is, he's had his share of failures too. Wouldn't surprise me if Nunes ends up more Ferran Torres than Jack Grealish.

Grealish was also Villa's best player by an obscene measure, for years on end.

We were largely shit last season and I doubt anyone would put Matheus in their top five performers.

They made about 50m on Torres, not exactly a bust

I think that’s the problem, isn’t it? If we could guarantee it would be reinvested, a lot of us would be “for” selling him - myself included.

This happening, fully expect the incomings to be Cresswell, Brownhill & Origi type signings if any.

It's Bergeristan rather than Guardiola and Torres is the one duff signing in the last 3 seasons.

That's a very good record.

Phillips as well.

 

[Johnny75]

Phillips as well.

I don't think Phillips is a bad signing, just very expensive depth.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Phillips as well.

Now that would be a good signing for us.

 

[Wolvensam]

I was going to say, Phillips has been a bit of a duff and was by far and away Leeds’ best player: unless he has had the classic Pep bedding in for one year treatment.

 

[Aikiwolf]

"Rayan can play further forward" - Jeff Shi, probably

"But Jeff, you've asked me to sell him as well?" Matt Hobbs, probably.

 

[YoungWolf]

At least we can sign Alex Scott now

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Now that would be a good signing for us.

Not for me. Shite fitness, huge wages, zero attacking output. Unless we fancy having a midfield who score 0 all season collectively.

Origi off to Sheff Utd apparently.

Don't think Phillips has played badly for Guardiola at all.

He's not been able to displace Rodri. No shame in that he's one of the best midfielders on the planet.

Doesn't say anything about Pep the wonder coach though does it? Bit part player at City, quickly shipped on and played the same role elsewhere. Not quite the 'shit year, superstar forever' routine that was intimated by others.
