The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

[Stan Hullis]

Victor Hugo is very highly rated

Nevermind, I think it's a rehash of last year's story

Fookin loved that cartoon

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.

Tyldesley was giving Neto bad press last night about his injuries. Made out like he barely played a game for us last season.

 

[Del Woppio]

But then again the next tweet says he'd pay for his uber here

 

[Keef]

I’d guess we sign him there’ll be a lot of les miserables on social media because they’ve never heard of him

 

[FinWolf]

I've been reading this forum for some years now, but had to make an account, just to pump some hype up with what I just found reading Wikipedia.

I want to believe he's coming.

Who was the Brazilian we were looking at late last summer, and their fans were begging him to leave? He looked absolutely dreadful even in YouTube hype videos???

We’re spending more on this one guy than I expected us to spend all window tbh.

I didn't think we'd be in that bracket either tbh, though the net spend at the end if the window. Spending c€50m on players before the end of June is welcome, but if they end up replacing Neto, Cunha and RAN for €120m then it's not a good window

We're spending more than double on this guy than I expected us to spend all window.

Yuri Alberto

That's the chap. Looked like a complete donkey

 

[NicholasG1973]

Gives off Jon Dadi Bödvarsson vibes.

JDB was the striker version of Matt Doherty.

Carved himself a very successful football career, despite being absolutely shit wherever he went.

Genius.

 

[Sniffer]

He’ll always have that run at Anfield to look back on. Even that ended in disappointment.

Agreed, and part of me dreads that we might be putting up the money now with the intention of entirely recouping it later this window.

If we sell Cunha I will fucking lose my shit.

 

[Boozad]

Cunha won’t be going anywhere, we’d be asking way more than anybody would pay even if there was any interest.

Hasn't he done well after January? Was surprised myself when saw that.

I'd feel better about budget Haaland if he wasn't being bought at a non-budget price, but not writing him off of course.

The club though, getting whiplash from all the changes in their transfer policies and whether they're crying poor or things are actually OK? The wind changes less.

So - who will we sell to pay for all these new players ? I think we'll buy more .

I'm talking now about first team players and not referring to Fabio or Cundle etc .

RAN , Neto , Semedo , Kilman .

Simply cannot see us selling all four for starters . It would of course bring in huge money , but you'd be starting from scratch building a team again and that's not easy .

Kilman - yes , that looks quite likely at this point .
Neto - I think his injury record will tell against him in terms of big clubs looking for him , and he will probably only leave to go to an Arsenal or similar . One strong season free of injury would strengthen his position and that possibility might keep him here .
Semedo - strong possibility that he will leave I think . He's at the right age and playing as well as he ever did .
RAN - Hard to know . I think we will try and keep him , try to convince him to stay , maybe offer him a new deal and so on .

So for me - it's 2 out of 4 big names .
