The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

[Deutsch Wolf]

I think most would probably agree with you Deutsch.

I agree he doesn't win everything, I just think his qualities are underrated and always have been. Its just the way I see it. I feel that many people slate him for not being vocal (which he isn't), but then this goes against what he does as a player.

I will be pleased if we get better.

Nothing wrong with going against the grain mate!

It's not one of those like where we were last year with Collins and most of us are thinking "Christ this guy has been a disaster, how do we get rid of him". He isn't rubbish and he's a good guy.

 

[The Bear]

Leicester and Forest also interested in Carmo.

Surely we'd be more appealing than both with our Portuguese connections.

I don't think we want to be and thankfully it looks as though it's agent driven rather than by us.

Our signings have not had any pattern to them this summer but one thing they haven't been is agent driven.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Can't say I was very impressed with Carmo against Villa or Fiorentina in the Conference League games I watched.

 

[Kenny]

Expect to be linked with a load of CB's in the coming days. Nice easy story and bonus if linked in anyway to Portugal or Mendes

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I think we'll sign Elvedi

I would like Greaves or Beelen from the others linked so far, if we're signing two

 

[sycophantia]

Also seen Patricio Bruno linked as well as all the above.

Would like the club to get Elvedi in and assess Mosquera before spending on another CB.

 

[Lycan]

I'm not a fan of Carmo but I've admittedly not seen him while he was at Olympiakos. When he was at Porto he was slow, clunky, rash in the tackle and prone to outrageous howlers. He also had a horrific injury when he was at Braga.

 

[Carrotdude]

I’m pretty excited about Carmo after looking him up on fbref

Now that max is gone where am I going to get futsal commentary

Pedro Lima used to play Futsal. Natural replacement.

It's on my bingo board for West ham matches next season.

From KUMB:

it gives us a positive insight into how Lop is going to build the squad. His priority signing is an English defensive general, who will know in detail Lop’s tactics and training and be able to translate it to the rest of the team

 

[Jack Regan]

Yep "defensive general" definitely the first thing that springs to mind when thinking of Max. As long as it's General Melchett that is.

 

[The Bear]

Generally defensive is move like it.

 

[Del Woppio]

Why not? Just an example off the top of my head, Wataru Endo. 4 year deal for a 30 year old. Less than half the fee (and transfer fees less impactful to higher turnover clubs), Liverpool don’t need to worry about him being cherry picked and it’s in a more physically demanding position.

If you’ve spent loads of money, you want to protect your investment.


The game has changed. 31 isn’t old anymore. Certainly isn’t as a CB. As I said before, there are pretty much zero negatives to giving him a longer contract, terrible injuries being the only one, there are tons of positives.

Yeah I guess so. I might need to get my head out of football manager

Apologies if this has already been posted

That's so unfortunate. You'd genuinely rather be called Peter File
