Summer Transfer Shit and Everything Else

[selassie]

Disagree…we need one right back or one player that can play left/right back at most…we have too many centre backs


We have Gabriel, Saliba, White, Kiwior, Holding and Tomoyasu


If we want a full back by all means sign a full back stop signing centre halves that can play there

Apart from Gabriel and Saliba, and to a lesser extent White, we don't have the required quality for CL & PL. To even list Holding as an option going into next season is laughable. Kiwior in time might be a decent option to rotate with Gabriel, Tomi for now is a crock, he cannot be relied upon.

We are signing a player who can operate at full back and centre back comfortably, why you keep saying he isn't a versatile player is beyond me.

The squad needs strengthening, I have no idea why you are not happy with that.

We’ve offered 90m for Rice now.

yes that is a good summary, we do need to strengthen there

Because we have limited funds and we need to prioritise


We need four Centre backs and we have four centre backs - White, Kiwior, Gabriel and Saliba we absolutely do not need players in centre back position. We need to get rid of players in that role, Holding and as you say possibly Tomoyasu (although I’d keep him as a reserve option, and bring in a first choice right back) and by first choice right back not another centre back who can play right back…an actual right back

Limited funds? Everywhere I have been reading we have 200mill plus whatever we get for outgoings, we are going to spend BIG this summer, that much is pretty clear.

White is our first choice right back, he can cover at CB but that does not mean he will be used as a CB. White is a right back, he was good enough last season, Timber is a right back and CB like White and hopefully assuming we sign him will provide good rotation for him and possibly Saliba along with White at CB.

No he’s a centre back covering at right back. He should not be playing right back

Over 200 million? Wow…well considering we’ve already committed to pissing 80% of that away on Rice and Donkey Boy…still doesn’t mean a lot

[KSE Comedy Club]

We’ve offered 90m for Rice now.

Apparently its £75m with £15m of add-ons.

Watch it get rejected later today & City make a bid by Thursday.

If we really want him that much and he is our 'priority', then just bid properly and get him in ffs. I'm all for us trying to haggle, but the longer this goes on the more chance we have of fucking it up.

[dostoy]

Rise will go to Man City if they want him.

Treble winners or bottlers, its not much of a choice.

Already rejected. Apparently the add-ons include us winning the League or CL, so you can understand why West Ham think they won’t be seeing that money.

I get that lowballing is a part of all negotiations but I think it’s been fairly clear that he won’t be sold for less than 100m. Embarrassing if we miss out on him.
