summer '22 transfer craziness and stupidity

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RB is pretty well covered now anyway. White and Saliba can both fill in for Tomi, and we have a player coming through in Brooke Norton Cuffy who looks very similar to Spence - if Tomi, White and Saliba aren’t enough then I reckon we’ll probably keep Cedric or AMN around for one more year as a 4th choice while BNC goes out on another loan, probably to a Championship side.

LB competition is what we’re desperately short of!

We still have to work out what we're going to do with Bellerin too!

I don’t know whether Gabriel and Raphinia are the answer to our attacking issues but they are both decent players and helps us build up a Brazillian contingent (three of who will have the same first name)

I have to say though I’m not impressed with the Fabio Vieira signing it’s money spent on an area when what we desperately need is a central midfielder who can operate deep and can carry the ball forward…that player was Tielemans

To be honest I don’t really give a fuck about full backs, dropping Tavares at the first sign of a dodgy performance when plenty of full backs his age are good going forward but a bit rum defensively is not a good way of building confidence

Business coming along nicely. Get everyone in so they can have a pre-season together, before the inevitable defeat at Palace…

If the club deliver on all the reported targets you have to hand it to them. After all the years of dithering we're now just getting shit done and paying what it takes. Only a few remnants of the old regime left to clear now as well.

Yeah not going to lie, we are moving decisive in the market this summer. No messing about, identifying targets and negotiating progressively. So far so good, I’ve actually got confidence we are going to really try for our other targets too. Exciting times.

Ornstein just tweeted we're now leading the race for Raphinha. Would be excellent to beat the spuds to another of their targets, so much for the champs league pull!

I think Edu has been working on Raphinha in the background. I think the fact we have Edu there and have secured Jesus will really help in our pursuit of Raphinha. I don’t personally think he should be a priority signing but it will be impressive if we secure him considering the interest. It would be a real statement signing IMO

I like Raphinha, he is a very good player, he would no doubt improve us.

Vieira may be that CM. I'm naw sure anyone quite knows what his role will be.

The biggest issue with the squad is that it lacks creativity and goals. From the little we know it looks like he helps with this.

Partey can take the ball from deep and move forward too.
Lokonga should be more involved too. I'd quite like Telemiens too but I don't think it's as important as you seem to, Serf.

Have we sold Xhaka yet?. Best business of the season that would be

[I am invisible]

We still have to work out what we're going to do with Bellerin too!

Along with about 10 or 11 others.

You’re a very silly individual, but that’s ok because there’s plenty of people like that on here

Partey doesn’t have the skill with the ball at his feet and neither it appears does Vieira, Tielemans does…

Simply expecting a player to offer up balls to the attacking third when they aren’t that good on the ball is just a form of masochism

[Chippy]

Yep and we all know that after the first 6 matches in the champions league if they're lucky the spuds might make it into the Europa league.

We gotta be careful what we say on the scum's CL hopes. Cunte has a decent pedigree.
