Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

Hedontplayforyou · Post by **Hedontplayforyou** » Sat Jul 30, 2022 1:23 pm

Bigger squad to change things up when things aren’t going our way, injuries and suspensions stack up, and lack of form - that would be my answer to “where these players fit” .

For me a striker or two , and two thag can play the attacking mid roles would be good. He clearly wants a centre half too so that would make 5 .

Possibly allowing a few to go out on loan, getting vital experience.

Delap would be incredible if we play like that all season. He’s a proper finisher

They’ve just had £40m knocked back for Maddison , if they really want Maxwel then they should cough up. They are hardly short of brass

Cornet to Newcastle?

Sounds like they are keen but don’t want the pay the 17.5m clause in one go.

Therefore we are asking for 25m over a longer period.

Not for the first time it seems that Cornet's release clause is predicated on it being in one payment. That's a good thing because it obviously gives us a some leverage to negotiate with clubs that wishes to stage payments. It appears both Everton and Newcastle are in the same boat due to FFP. Feels like only a matter of time before Cornet leaves though.

Yeah, surely one of Ev, West Ham or Newc are just going to bite the bullet on this one, with the PL kicking off next week.

We had 4 central defenders in reserve (Long, Thomas, CJ, Mcnally), how many central defenders does a team need?

We are looking to ship out Long... How many games have you seen Thomas play at club level?... more like a development payer! CJ by his own admission is more of a utility back, not a dedicated CB, which is pretty obvious anyway with his build size and Mcnally is wet behind the ears at this level and could take a few seasons to adjust... Why do you think we played Charlie Taylor out of position?... We definitely need a CB, especially a left-sided one that has experience at this level or above!

I don't think we played Taylor out of position, I think that's the position Kompany sees Taylor playing long term to accommodate Maatsen.

Konrad de la Fuente can return to the League, on loan. Valladolid, very interested in him. Today it is the best placed team. There are other possibilities, like Anderlecht, Burnley, Sassuolo and Sampdoria. There is no definitive decision, but it is in the market.

Huddersfield finished third last season. We restricted them to zero shots on target and our goalkeeper didn’t have a single save to make. They couldn’t even get the ball off us, let alone mount any tangible attacks.

In what parallel universe would a decent Championship team have turned us over?

Top Claret only drinks men’s ale, for real men. That’s how he knows his opinions on the quality of Huddersfield are the only correct ones - because he’s a ruddy bloke.

His dad is a first team coach there too.

Would be an odd move though and you’d think City would much rather him here than there.

Churlinov and Konrad both wingers, again.

I reckon thats info we’ve put out to move Coventry along with O’Hare and / or Antwerp with Benson.

I can only imagine we’ve got a striker lined up and imminent if we are letting Stoke get Delap / we aren’t in for him. That just seemed a no brainer from all angles didn’t it?

Guller Bull · Post by **Guller Bull** » Sat Jul 30, 2022 5:05 pm

Can't help thinking there is a big outgoing (other than Max) and a huge incoming yet. Not price wise but impact wise in the striker department.

agreenwood · Post by **agreenwood** » Sat Jul 30, 2022 5:07 pm

I suppose a striker loan not ideal anyway. Jay’s already 33 and Barnes gets there soon. A striker on loan just kicks the problem down the road.

Think there may be a late bid for Taylor and/or Brownhill.

Would be gutted (more so than any who have left so far) if either of those went. They just suit the style of play. So would Maxwel .

I think it’s clear if we wanted Delap, he would have been ours. The fact he’s not coming here is clearly showing Vinny has a prime target in mind that we aren’t aware of.

I’m expecting a Vitinho style ‘out of nowhere’ striker appearing in the next few days.
