Howay 12496 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 We also signed two youngsters. If they don't count then the youngster Brighton signed from Celtic shouldn't either. Brighton also signed a replacement for the keeper they lost. So we're both at one in if we're going to ignore Atsu and youngsters. Palace have had none in. As I say it's been one week, I know it's felt like ages because the season ended early but it's still only been one week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4380 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Fucking Burnley paid actual money for Jon Walters from Stoke. Rather have Shola back tbh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7179 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 8 hours ago, Howay said: The window has been open a week or so man, we've got two players in and now people are saying we have a bid on a third accepted. Meanwhile teams like Burnley, West Ham, and Palace have basically done fuck all and haven't had many rumors that they will do much either. Stoke, West Brom and a few others haven't done loads either because it's been a week. Huddersfield keep getting brought up as doing more than us but they weren't close to us last season and I can't say I've seen many of the players they've bought play other than Mooy and Ince who I don't rate so I can't say they're worrying me. Its been open a month now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5302 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 If there is a problem, it'll be selling people. We have a large squad and no one is buying any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 31218 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Also, the author of that article is the same one who claimed in January that Graham Carr was back in charge of all transfers and we'd only be looking at young players with resale value. I'd take what he says with a pinch of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 14059 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 The Mail, who tend to be a bit more reliable with our stuff, also reckons we're in for Delph. So, within a day, we've put together a 17 million bid for one midfielder while also going for another. Almost like you shouldn't bother listening to anything they write.

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 Navas has zero end product. I'd rather play Aarons in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like many teams do much in June really though so I don't see it as anything to worry about. Edited July 9, 2017 by Howay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10972 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 On 7/8/2017 at 11:48 PM, LooneyToony said: The Samaris deal is confirmed? If not, there is one new player in. In any event, I'm sure The Fish will agree with me. You're wrong I'm afraid, I don't agree with you. I'm frustrated, but I don't think out transfer window is indicative of a lack of support for Rafa. There'll be a combination of reasons for our lack of activity, but similar reasons appear to be hindering other clubs' activity too. So while I remain frustrated, I'm not overly concerned yet.

ewerk 31218 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Well Dummett isn't for sale and Gouffran is out of contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I'd take Navas personally. He's clearly not a real top level player and I could never understand why he played so much for City, but for the level we are at I think he'd be a good signing. I'm a bit concerned about the level of player we are being linked to. I realise that funds are limited but we need a couple of big signings with plenty of top flight experience. Prices suggest it will be difficult to get much quality with premier league experience but there is more value to be found abroad. We're lacking in top flight experience throughout the squad.

ewerk 31218 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Navas is a higher profile Gouffran. Looks busy but does fuck all. He'd be a waste of a squad space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 This transfer window is summed up by the likes of Sigurdsson being quoted as available for £50 Million. No doubt a good player but that is just ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7179 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Well Craig Hope has just shit on our cornflakes. Murphy from Norwich, Navas, Traore from Boro and Ojo all not happening apparently Personally I'd just match the asking prices for Reina, Jacob Murphy, Delph, Andre Grey and Gibbs. Chuck £60mil at them, secure our place in the league and bank £100mil next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need experienced top flight players and only Navas falls into that category there. I agree we need to spend what needs to be spent and I'd be pretty happy to see those other players come here.

Navas barely assisted or scored in a good city side so I'd stay well clear. Andre Gray is just a shite Dwight Gayle too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 31218 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I'm guessing they've quoted that price because they don't want anyone to pay it for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
