The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

[jd1981]

Our fans defy reasonable logic one has just told me that the squad is stronger because the likes of Cundle, Guedes & Chiquinho are back. I pointed out none of them are close to the level we need. His response was you’re not a coach so you’re not qualified to make that statement. My response neither are you so you can’t tell me they’re good enough.
The only qualification you need to have to know they’re not up to it is having good working eye sight.

The fastest players in the NFL generally clock in on Next Gen stats at around 22-23mph, which is 36.8kph. Which would make him as fast as Tyreek Hill, possibly the fastest to ever play in the NFL.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Have a word with your source as well. Big summer of spending you promised us during the great big giveaway of 23

My source is no longer with the club. I spoke to him a while ago

Don’t get the concerns about Ramsdale. Until Arteta messed him about with Raya, he was excellent for Arsenal and had a real claim to be England’s no.1.

Sa would potentially be the No1 England keeper though, it's not a strong group. Personally I feel it's Henderson's to take should he have a good rebound year and stay fit.

Well, we will miss their insider information. Not often we get such a reliable source...

None of them are perfect. If Pope had any ability with his feet then he would be number 1.

That's a really good article and a fair summary of where we are right now.

Only thing that puzzled me was when he said Forbs would be a Neto replacement. I've never watched him play before but from the available scouting reports it seems like he'd be more of a competition for Rodrigo wide on the left than Sarabia/Podence/etc tucked in on the right.

In recent terms yes, but there are several much lesser known players who were also track athletes or better. James Jett who played for the Raiders, also had a gold medal for the 100m relay. Devon White or what ever he was called that was on the Eagles Practice squad recently potentially another I would expect to beat Hill.

There is another former 100m champ from way back too who ran close to 10 flat.

He has been pretty reliable, said a couple on here, but not everything dont come on much anymore.

The better than everyone else attitude, and some of the cunts on here make it more like M Mix every day

Burnley trying to sign Worral from Forest....O'Shea is on people.

 

[big mean bunny]

Apparently Ramsdale is on 150k a week at Arsenal with his latest deal. I can't see any of the teams linked with him going for that. (Us, Ajax, Southampton and Bournemouth from what I have seen elsewhere)

 

[1986]

O'Shea is fucking terrible
Ramsdale is a fucking arsehole

What is Hobbs doing?

Hobbs is just an employee I suppose . Even if he does identify a top up and coming centre half / goalkeeper , they first of all must want to come here , their terms and conditions must match ours and they must be flexible enough to fit into the way O' Neil wants to play .

The 1st depends a lot on the 2nd one . Hobbs is given a set of parameters I would assume and he has to stick to it .

J Gomes and Yerson look like very good business , but they are hard found .

I think there's a strong chance that neither O' Shea or Ramsdale will arrive .

We won't pay that or the colour of it .

 

[Kenny]

Well we have apparently offered to pay most of it. So got a wage budget to cover it or a plan to cover that includes Sa, Silva and maybe Guedes being removed to ensure we can accommodate the addition

I always wondered what Hobbs did...

 

[Johnny75]

He’s pretty good in the air but I wouldn’t say he reads the game that well which playing in a higher line I think is very important. He’s not slow I guess but he’s also not left footed which is what I thought we wanted!

His passing is OK but not really a progressive type.

Can't read the game, gets caught flat footed and is at least 2 steps slower in his head than attackers at this level.

He's shite.

 

[Dire Wolf]

So Nathan Collins v2.0 then?

 

[Sniffer]

A maybe from @Johnny75 then.

Mine aren't really footballing concerns, other than him not being good enough with his feet as would be ideal. The Albion stuff doesn't bother me individually, but I do think it'd be a ticking time bomb. David Kelly was never really accepted by some and he didn't make the type of comments/actions that Ramsdale did. Assuming Sarabia goes he'd on double what any of player is, which normally backfires.
For me the juice isn't worth the squeeze.
