The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

[C.L.D]

Not keen on writing off players after their first season in a new country. See also Bellegarde.

I think that's going to be the problem for any new CB signed after Kilman goes too.

 

[Lycan]

Then we surely can't sign Che Adams because he can't do that either. Sergeant the same.

We have to be after a bigger stronger centre forward.

(I think BBD can btw)

Che Adams holds the ball up well, in fact I'd say it it was one of his biggest qualities. He's got a decent touch and can link play well and occupy defenders.

The issue with him is that he can't and never will score goals at this level. He's proven that time and again, anyone thinking they can take him and unlock some kind of scoring run is kidding themselves.

He's basically the anti-Hwang.

So put them together and amazing things will happen...?

I don't think he does any of that well. I think it's his best quality but he's not up to standard in the PL at it.

 

[GoldFlagFlyingHigh]

Jack Clarke on radar too this summer.

 

[Tony Towner]

Not good enough, Championship is his level

 

[YoungWolf]

Had a Quick Look at his fb ref page and in the last year he’s basically been amazing at everything with the ball and non existent defensively. Think would be a decent shout in the 343. I really liked him when he first broke through at Leeds

 

[GoldFlagFlyingHigh]

His very direct style would suit us you’d think.

 

[Tony Towner]

He's direct, but without a trick, he'd be easy to defend against at PL level

I said the same about Bowen and regretted that some years later, I think Clarke could be the same, but I think if we're going down this route I'd rather go for Gnonto or Summerville at Leeds.

Wouldn't mind Clarke but he's going to cost too much.

 

[GoldFlagFlyingHigh]

Summerville is a lot more expensive.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Agreed. Every time I watched him he gave the ball away very cheaply and very frequently.

 

[Johnny75]

Summerville is a lot more expensive.

£20m isn't he? I thought Clarke would be about the same tbh, English tax etc.

 

[Alan]

Summerville is a lot more expensive.

And mid.

 

[GoldFlagFlyingHigh]

Summerville they’re talking £30m+

Clarke might be £15-20m

 

[Johnny75]

Summerville they’re talking £30m+

Clarke might be £15-20m

That's too much for either. Better value in some free transfers.

I presume we're looking at moving Sarabia on if we're looking at Clarke.

Neto and Sarabia if/when they go will be replaced. Expecting a winger and a more creative inside forward if both go.

We might find it difficult to find any takers for Sarabia when he's on £100k+ per week. Probably have to let him go on a free.

 

[Kenny]

Newcastle enquired about Neto as well it seems.

Swap deal for Isak?
