The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

That looks decent on paper. I assume you'd have Lemina over Doyle though?

Ah, my mistake, as good as João Gomes is he can't do two positions at once!

Holy Tony Pulis Batman

Mikel Arteta and Pep do it too!

They broke everything

Ha! I didn't even notice that! Was just surprised you'd picked Doyle!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Pep makes a back four of four CHs not look stylistically terrible. Even then it comes with obvious limitations.

I don't back many other managers to do that, certainly not Gary O'Neil.

 

[Del Woppio]

Aye, you may be able to get it working with the likes of Gvardiol and Akanje, but it's a different game at that level

 

[Johnny75]

I think he has to play in a 3 as the one thing he's good at is directing traffic and if he can improve on his speed of thought I think he'd be good, especially with the athleticism of the others around him.

I think we can get better but right now we need creative players if we are to lose RAN and Neto.

You never know

You never know

I don't know but I can guess

I've seen Toti play at LB under Lopetegui and I'm not in a rush to see it again.

It's him or Bueno if RAN goes.

Why would you do that????????

You’re miles off it.
If RAN goes he gets replaced.
Same applies to Neto, Sarabia, Sa, Kilman or any other important first teamer.

 

[Wolvensam]

I can't see a world where RAN goes. Neto is likely but his injury record means we'd have to accept a lower price than we'd like I think. Kilman will be the big sale of this window because, for some bizarre reason, our previous manager rates him highly.

 

[Tredman]

We'd sell RAN for aroun 30m, another season like last and he's worth 40 to 50. A smart club buys him now.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Nah, I don't think we'd set the bar anywhere near that low. Not without it being a bent deal involving Malevolent Uncle Jorge.

 

[The Bear]

We really should sell Kilman and try and convince Neto to stay for one more season. Spin it to him as to see if he can get over his injuries which will guarantee him the biggest move he can get.

Yep, this is where the big PSR money can be made, plus it would enable us to replace and go 4 at the back

 

[The Bear]

Larsen looks a good finisher from his best bits vid. How is he at the horseshoe of doom formation though?

I think with his purchase it's safe to say we've completely written off Kalajdzic now, and will be just trying to offload him for whatever we can get. Probably a loan with an option at best once he's fit again (theoretically).
