Transfer discussion thread

What’s wrong with getting different perspectives on the same event?

I’ll read what the Swans think on Fri night. This site in particular can be an insular echo chamber.

Don't bother, if we lose 80% of our board will just be sooking about the umpires.

Ours just complain about our players haha. We're normally* happy to just smash our own.

*not always

Well I don’t read my own anymore. Repeatedly ignore my suggestion to be more like Ross and chef and not be tyrants turning the place to shit.

I think most people think Balogun's ceiling is higher than Nketiah's.

I think it is too but his contract status and refusal to go out on loan again probably makes it trickier to keep him happy.

It seems to go beyond that however. Based off passing comments I see across this forum such as referencing things being said on the Liverpool thread for example. That stuff is not for me, that’s all.

Same on most boards. The only infractions I've copped on this site have been from Swans mods or Swans board related.

They also have an obsession with moving every post to a thread that would be more relevant to that post, so there's no flow in some threads.

And the other 20%?

Except on the Tottenham thread

Only 80%. Lightweights

 

[RPCB]

Why would you willingly subject yourself to that?

Just like reddit, twitter, etc. that place is full of of people who have NFI.

Tbf, we all subject ourselves to BigFooty.

It was 99% for us after Sunday.

 

[Zidane98]

92m + 13m in bonuses. That sounds like a winning bid.

 

[RossFC]

Interested to see how West Ham reinvest the money. Could probably get 3 or 4 starting quality players with that.

Perhaps go in for Amrabat for 30mil?

That's a bit more valid, a bit like us against the Lions the week before.

I think it all depends on how quickly that 92M comes in, Sullivan wants it within 2 seasons. Arsenal want to pay it over multiple years.

Let's see what City come back with next I suppose.

He'd be nice, but he wants to go to Spain from what I've read.

What worries me is that Moyes wants to put the money towards the likes of JWP and Harry Maguire.

We should let Tim Steidten do his thing when he starts July 1st.

Apparently PSG are interested in Paqueta now, and I think Soucek is a good chance to go as he wants a big pay rise on his next contract and we're not willing to offer, basically we probably need a whole new midfield I think.

Gallagher, Ox on a freebie, McTominay plus a quality new striker would be a good start.

I'm loving the potential of a Mane Kane Sane front three if he does go to Bayern anyway.

Lewawho?

Mane, passes to Sane, into Kane, I hope I pronounced that correctly

 

[glenferry23]

That’s quite decent value for Maddison in the current market.

Soucek had a good season in 20/21 but his form has dropped considerably. Maybe best for all parties if he moves on.

If Paqueta goes to PSG he might fetch £60 million. With the Rice money that would provide a transfer fund of about £160 million then maybe £200 with additional investment. Without even considering players who have no Premier League experience you could build a very good midfield.

For example - £160 million
Paulhinha £40
Gibbs-White £40
Dewsbury-Hall £30
Barnes £50

Other options

Phillips £40
Gallagher £40
Lavia £40
JWP £30

He has his moments but he can also disappear and break easy. He's had repetitive hip injuries too where he has missed bunches of games.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Never really replicated that night at the Bernabeu. Should do well in the championship

We can't compete with the big spending clubs.
