Summer Transfer Thread 2018
- Thread starter antijoke
- Start date
Two absolute musts this window are another forward that we can bring into the side without weakening the team and another midfielder in addition to Keita. You can then make a case for a keeper, cb and another attacker.
I can't say I saw anything of him but after we signed him people were saying he was decent that year, Allison though really has been outstanding and has been talked up amongst the best keepers in the world. That's being reflected in the potential fee though.Mind you, by all accounts Karius was phenomenal in the season before we signed him too
Not sure about that, I'd imagine that Ter Stegen will be the no.1 for quite a few years
First transfer window I'm genuinely excited for!
Attacking wise I think we're pretty well stocked, maybe a wide midfielder for cover but I'm not too fussed about our ability going forward.
As for the defence, we need a new 1st choice CB urgently, and a commanding Goalkeeper. Kos looks set to miss the start of next season and he isn't getting any younger, I wouldn't be surprised to see him spend most of next season on the bench if we can get someone decent in. Although we'd have to make sure Mavropanos gets a decent amount of games as he already looks like the best CB we have. (wrote this out before our game tonight)
I'd like to see us sign a keeper too, but another season in the Europa might make it difficult to get a top class keeper without spending a fortune.
Obviously our most important and difficult signing is going to be a first team coach. There were rumblings that we're looking to get them sorted before the World Cup, ideally I'd like us to have it sorted long before then.
I think a defensive midfielder is a priority. We've not had one for years.
Mignolet could be available? (please?)First transfer window I'm genuinely excited for!

So Rooney is off to the MLS to DC United, £12mill deal agreed in principle from what I have read on sky sports news.
If Toby is leaving Spurs I'd be in for him at Anfield.
Spurs are a pain to deal with, can't see them selling any one to us either not if it would strengthen us
Isn't he available cheap either by contract clause or coming towards the end of his contact though?
Soldato
what about Stefan de Vrij? contract running out soon tho he may be heading to inter as we speak
I can't find who the 12m is going to or how long Rooney signed for Everton to. I can't blame him for wanting out again, I'd rather play for a sunday league local side than fat sams brand of football.
Not quite. He has a year left on his deal but Spurs have an option to extend that for another year. If Spurs choose to extend his deal then there is a £25m buyout clause from next summer. So effectively he's got 2 years left on his deal but next summer he can be had for £25m - next summer he'll be 30 years old, in which case £25m isn't very cheap.
I suspect Spurs will be open to selling him this summer but I don't think it's a given that he'll leave. Spurs will want big money and there's only a few clubs that will spend big money on a 29 year old that's had his injury problems this year - if one of those don't come in for him it's difficult to see where he goes.
He apparently wants a big pay rise as well. Levy is such a cheap ass.
Providing hes replaced i agree. He is their top goal scorer though and a lot went through him.
