The Summer Transfer Window Thread

[Swanjaxs]

Doesn’t need to be said that he’s a talented player but it feels like the type of move that wouldn’t really suit us. Where would he play? Surely we’d have to accommodate him in the 10 and we don’t play with one currently.

Not going to happen anyway.

"Where would he play?"...
Anywhere but here.

If it's TalkSport reporting it, then it almost certainly won't be happening.

There's no need for us to bring in anyone else.

Looking at Vipotnik and Idah’s showreels, they seem quite similar players in many regards, with Idah having more Michu like ability to float through defenders like a ghost as well as some tricksy footwork, whereas Vipotnik has slightly more raw power (although Idah isn’t lacking in that department either). Would love to see them start together some games - maybe with a single floating winger behind them like Laudrup did?

 

[Nice to Michu]

In no way am I saying he is coming etc but Dele has definitely been in talks with people here. That is a fact

Don't see the sense in it.

It would depend on the circumstances surely?

If there was any chance of him returning to anything approaching his previous form he’d be the best player in the championship by a country mile. Same would apply to a bottom half PL team.

That’s a big if, of course, and it would be carefully assessed I’d imagine. But I’d trust people like Modric making that call rather than fans. It could go wrong and it’d be important that we could get out if that was the case, but he’s still in his twenties and it could be defining.

I’d expect him to go to a bigger club than us though to be honest. There was talk of Leeds as well as both Glasgow clubs.

Interesting times though.

I wouldn't mind seeing us use a 3-5-2 / 5-3-2 now and again to keep teams guessing. Either offensively or defensively. E.g.

 

[Swansea93]

If we’re looking towards an older player in the free agents then I guess we are looking for a midfielder who can score goals as we don’t really have that.

Alli
Ziyech
Eriksen

Possibly.

I’m not averse to 3 CBs and WBs at all, just a bit scarred by our failure to make it work under Martin. I wonder if Parker or Samuel’s-Smith could play the WB role eventually? Or Galbraith?

Didn’t we almost sign Ziyech at one point t back in the day?

Yes.

Around the time we were close to Payet, Batashuayi and Chadli.

Fair do's, Huw could pick a player when he was in his prime.

What time are you pulling the bank heist?

Don’t really see who else would be worth it in the list that Modric would be talking to if even if it’s true.

Don't like the idea of Alli 1 little bit though he'd probably win a few pens though..
