The Incoming Transfers Everywhere Thread: Summer 2023

[Wolfe]

Your problem with "worth a go" is if he's no good then he loses value very quickly.

We had to make the call either way this summer on him.

For £5m I think he’d be worth the risk.

 

[Sniffer]

I'm not opposed to selling him and I'd imagine that Loppers has had a few weeks to make a reasonable judgement on him. He'll also be in receipt of a huge amount of scouting reports on his performances out on loan too. I'm more in the not signing an over the hill 34 year old for £2.5-£5m when we have 4 players who can play left back at the club camp.

Is that the fee for Giles?

Yes mate.

 

[Tredman]

If its 5m out for Giles and 5m in for Creswell its insanity. Fuck amortisation and FFP its just stupid.

Risky being in that camp

Insanity signing Cresswell full stop. Wham fans think he was done at this level 2 years ago.

May as well have kept Marçal

I fucking hated Marçal. Where attacks went to die.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Has anyone reputable reported the Cresswell deal? Was it just the Mail and the Athletic?

 

[Johnny75]

I fucking hated Marçal. Where attacks went to die.

And yet he's still better than Cresswell.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He absolutely is not, he was shite.

Not being on Twitter, I feel relatively safe with such opinions on here.

He was more mobile and probably a better defender but Creswell is a much better footballer. He wouldn't be a complete black hole in possession.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Marçal was an awful defender as well, had literally no strengths. Terrible player.

I'm far from on board with Cresswell (if it happens) but that's just silly. It'd be like if I claimed Neill Collins was a better RB than Doherty.

Does Fab even have any defenders out in the social media sphere?

Hey, I was one of those moron FIFA kids!

Who knows where I'd be now without the mythical grey Burrda kit that only ever existed as a texture in FIFA 11...

Can't even find pics of it on the internet! It's like a copypasta.

Stoke back in for Hoever on loan.
