Transfer discussion thread

From what I'm hearing its pretty much a done deal.

Just waiting for the sportswash cycle to finish before being announced

Do you think everyone on the board enjoys reading the same thing ad-nauseam from the same poster?

I have no idea what everyone enjoys. I just think it's pretty fair to continually and repetitively bring up that the owners of major football teams in Europe are responsible for egregious human rights violations. If that history is too inconvenient for you to read/have brought up all the time, just put anyone who brings it up on ignore. It's clear that it is never going to change your position, so I can't imagine the material being lost to you is of much harm.

But in all seriousness Phillips would be quite the depth signing for City, hes not starting over Rodri so geez the are going to be deep.

Surprised he doesn't want to go to United where he'd be a starter.

 

[citizen-erased]

Really like this kid from a snippets ive seen of ajax games.

 

[jod23]

Can't wait to see how he fits in the team and how the team adapts to having a proper striker again.

It's a nice story for us given his background. Can't wait.

Sorry for the off topic post lol.

Im calling it now. Quadruple incoming for City.

If there has been one weakness with City is that in some games, not many but a few here and there they will struggle for a goal. Not having an out and out striker has hurt them on occasion and it's enough to lose a league title or get ousted from the CL with such fine margins.

To correct that they have gone and gotten one of the two best young prolific strikers on the planet, the other of course being Mbappe. This basically not only fixes their only weakness, it turns from a slight weakness into an incredible strength.

They will win everything next season. I can see centurions again too and perhaps invincibles too. Only team that might beat them to stop invincibles is us and even that's a stretch.

I sure would like us to sign a player

Think you're ****ed either way, I'd be very surprised if the same top four that finished top four last season, dont do so again next season.

Think you're ducked either way, I'd be very surprised if the same top four that finished top four last season, dont do so again next season.

Works for me

Wait did I word that wrong haha.

You said you'd be surprised if the same top four from last season don't do the same next season.

Im only expecting us to sign 2 or 3(Kounde, Dembele and ???) players and just rely on returning loanees to fill the squad.

We aren't closing the gap.

Oh yeah sorry I had a blonde moment, you're a Chelsea fan. I just woke up and for some reason decided you were an Arsenal fan for a moment.

Lol, what?

 

[chef]

Lol, what?

Weren't they linked with him a little while ago?

 

[Memphis]

Bayern are dominating this transfer window

They dominate most windows.

 

[Sphynx]

Weren't they linked with him a little while ago?

Reports are he rejected any notion of Man Utd in the knowledge it would trash his legacy in Leeds, his family etc are all Leeds based.

Alan Smith being the perfect example of what happens in that regard.

 

[pantskyle]

Yep the United links were squashed fairly quickly.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Good luck to Phillips wherever he ends up, personally wish he stays. Surprised Spurs haven’t had a crack. Surely £50-60m on Phillips is better spent than Richarlison in regards to needs

Losing Phillips and Raph in 1 window is far from ideal.

Don't have a problem with it, if it's used to rebuild an entire squad.

You trust Orta to do that? I have my doubts.
Far more misses than hits the last few seasons.

Why not? he scouted and signed the guy who we are about to sell in the first place.

Most DOF's have plenty of misses.

He's well and truly up over his tenure at Leeds.

 

[SM]

Outside of Raphinha who have Leeds signed in the last two years who's been any good?
