Transfer discussion thread

[Marcel Proust]

Yep.

The whole Scholes Vs Gerrard Vs Lampard debate is boring because it is all so subjective but I don't know how anyone could argue that Lampard wasn't the best goal scorer of the lot. He's one of the greatest goal scoring midfielders that the game has ever seen.

It's a bit of shame lfc didn't let Stevie, gonto Chelsea.

That said essien was a beast. Maybw most complete footballer ever?

Just to add some transfer news to the SM vs Leeds Fans/DDG or Hendo/Scholes or Lamps or Gerrard/Messi is sh*t old man yells at cloud/pantskyle is a campaigner megathread.

Both Dortmunds and Uniteds shares have SKYROCKETED over the last few hours. United with the biggest jump since Pogba was signed.

I looked up the odds again. Apparently city and psg are in the picture now.

Shortened a lot, since yesterday (city, Paris). I wonder how confident our token Dortmund fan is feeling?

Art Vandelay_ you dont think much of Reece James?

I think by the end of the season he'll have replaced Azpi as our starting RB.

Who would be captain?

Kepa?

Or mount if he is not loaned to Bolton

 

[chef]

Who would be captain?

Kepa?

Wot?

 

[Marcel Proust]

Wot?

If azpil is dropped
Who is the skipper?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Definitely is, was purely done to wind up Jodly though.

 

[chef]

Just think ‘next decade’ calls are premature and often wrong. Would be doing well for it to be the next 5 years.

So much could change in a decade.

True, but i rate him that high and have been watching him play through the youf ranks, at Wigan and then for our seniors. Hes a gem.

 

[chef]

If azpil is dropped
Who is the skipper?

Whoever Frank picks?

 

[SM]

Marcel on the sauce.

balta

 

[drd23]

Apparently for the same fee we sold him for

 

[Loonerty]

If azpil is dropped
Who is the skipper?

Would depend who plays.

Currently I think the order is:
Azpi
Jorginho
Kante

Willian was third but obviously not the case now. Kante was captain in the friendly against Brighton.
After that I'd assume probably Kovacic.

 

[Jaymin]

£28mil for Watkins seems overs.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Whoever Frank picks?

It not every day , a top level club. Buys a new team. That's why I find it sort of interesting.

yes, whoever Frank picks, but, who do cfc fans think it will be?

It should not matter , cause if azpil loses his rb spot they will put him cb? Partnering Silva

I reckon Thiago Silva would be if Azpi didn't play.

 

[Loonerty]

I reckon Thiago Silva would be if Azpi didn't play.

Oh, most likely. I wasn't thinking of new arrivals.

 

[SM]

£28mil for Watkins seems overs.

Does it? He had a pretty good season. Pretty much on par with Bowen who only went for maybe 5-8m less but with less remaining on his contract.

Wijnaldum to meet Klopp to discuss Liverpool future

The Dutch midfielder could follow compatriot and former national team manager Ronald Koeman to the Nou Camp

www.independent.co.uk

The ideal scenario would be keeping Wijnaldum, selling the excess midfielders and adding Thiago, but concrete offers have not yet been forthcoming for much of the fringe players - one of the byproducts of the financial effects of coronavirus."

Someone buy Marko Grujic/Harry Wilson please.

 

[Magma]

and bournemouth being relegated

 

[Bradesmaen]

and bournemouth being relegated

Palace are still around

 

[jod23]

I can't see us keeping Gini and buying Thiago. We would have way too many midfielders.

 

[ADL9798]

Thiago/Gini Keita/Ox/Milner

Fabinho/Henderson

Surely we can squeeze him in there

That's 7 into 3. And you didn't even mention Curtis Jones.

 

[Jaymin]

Does it? He had a pretty good season. Pretty much on par with Bowen who only went for maybe 5-8m less but with less remaining on his contract.

Yep it does. Thought he would go for around £15-£20m.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Yep it does. Thought he would go for around £15-£20m.

I'd happily see us pay 20-25m for him as a backup. Not a bad price for Villa IMO.
