The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

Wouldn't surprise me if we gave him a new deal when sending him out on loan. "Protect the value"

While throwing away Vitinha and Pedro Gonçalves.

Jeff you genius, you've done it again.

 

[Jinky]

Yep, we paid £9m for him.

We got £5m for Ryan Giles who has actually looked good at Championship level, unlike Hoever who looks a complete defensive liability with far less attacking output.

Looked alright at Stoke didn't he?

But yeah, we're not getting anywhere near £9m for him. That's £500k more than what we paid for Lima ffs.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He didn't look alright at Stoke, not really. He knocked in a few goals towards the end of the season but more often than not he was a disaster.

 

[Tony Towner]

From the bits I saw their fans had a love, hate relationship with him which seemed to be linked to whether he scored or not. Defensively he was a turnstile. If Sheff U are decent and they play 3 centre halves he'll probably do well for a team and formation that'll hide his weaknesses

In another multiverse somewhere, we're sitting here with Vitinha, Gonçalves and Olmo as our attacking midfield options.

Gomes and Fernandes behind them, Cunha up top

 

[Boozad]

All three of them would have been long gone by now.

I actually don't think Racist Enzo is particularly good. I mean I wouldn't necessarily put him in our best XI and he cost £100m.

(Of course it would have been a good deal for us to sign him and flip him like Benfica did)

Probably, but our best players don't usually get taken away really quickly.

It's hard to judge anybody at Chelsea, but certainly looking at last season you'd think closer to £10m than £100m!

Burnley fans rate him but then they said similar of the last centre back we signed from them..

They’ve only just made his loan in to a permanent move & also denied him going to the Olympics in his home country of France, so I can’t imagine they’d be willing to let him go for a fair sum. That’s not to say we haven’t enquired, though.

Liam says no

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I only saw little bits of him but he looked like a photocopy of all Burnley's other defenders, being asked to play like peak Maldini and getting shown up regularly.

I remember Robbie Keane saying almost those exact words, once.

 

[Tony Towner]

Yeah, it's just empty words at this point in the month. Let's see what he says at the end of it. There's no next level, unless you class going from 14th to 11th as that.
