Summer Transfer Window 22/23

Might as well start this as the Jan thread is redundant now.

Not happy to see us linked with Rashford this morning. Think he had his best years between the ages of 18-22, he seems on a downward spiral now and I wouldn’t put him in front of Martinelli, ESR or Saka.

If you ask me, he’s about Villa or Palace levels

dont want rashford hope we sign ivan toney.

He seems a troublemaker to me. Scores a fair amount of goals though. 11’s very decent playing for Brentford

Looks like Rafinha’s off to Barca

Not a transfer per-se but apparently PSG are offering Mbappe £150m signing on fee and £21/year salary to stay for another 2 years. He would be mad to turn that down if its true. RM won't offer him 1/3 of that and he can go there in another 2 years if he wants to.

£21 a year seems a bit stingy to me

On that list, I would love to see Newcastle go after James Tarkowski, Divock Origi, Jesse Lingard, Boubacar Kamara and Joao Moutinho, with 2 cheeky conversations with Paulo Dybala and Alexandre Lacazette. If we could sign 4 of those I think that would give us a solid foundation to become a top 10 side.

You really don’t want Lacazette believe me. It’s like watching an old man trudge around the pitch. He’s way past his best.

If owners similar to Cities or Newcastle took over my team id want them to fold. Its every use moaning when they are clearly fiddling the numbers. They dont even hide it anymore.

What if them folding meant administration and possible liquidation of the club?

So be it. To be honest id simply stop supporting my club. If people want to get behind that kind of regime then that's up to them but it isnt for me. City is absolutely soulless.

Sorry but I call BS on that. If it was a choice between controversial owners and Liverpool completely disappearing, you’d go for the dodgy owners.

I don’t think he’ll be anywhere near as good as people think

robfosters · 25 May 2022 at 10:40

I really hope we don’t dither and dally this summer. It’s so stupid not having your new signings for the first games or not giving them enough time to gel in before the competitive stuff starts, but we never learn our lesson.

If Mane goes to Bayern, Gnabry will move on. Where to is anybodys guess, but there won’t be a lack of suitors.

Tottenham apparently signing Perisic. Weird one IMO. Hes 33 and usually plays on the left I thought.

Good player and a shame he didn't come to the PL a few years ago but not sure about that one.

Worked with Conte before though and fits the profile of a "results now" signing for Conte.

I agree it’s an odd one too. coming from the much slower Serie A to the prem at 33 could be too much for him.

Ronaldo did it, but he’s done it before in the prem, so knew what to expect. Can’t see it working tbh.

Expect to see anyone Klopp's praised to be linked in the next week or so..

It happened a short while back with Martinelli. Klopp praised him up during a post match interview and for a few days after the papers were full of stories about him going to Liverpool. Ridiculous the way the media just seize on silly things for a story.

Gnabry into his last year aswell. There is a deal to be made there I reckon. Not sure Gnabry is really good enough but we've supposedly looked at him.

If our transfer team had half an ounce of sense about them they’d have already made a bid. He’s only said recently that he still loves us and would come back.

We're desperate for a top striker and a defensive midfielder. Unless Pepe leaves I don't see Gnabry as critical. We also have to get Saliba back and bin off Holding.

I’m sure Saliba will stay at Marseille, and I think Pepe will leave

robfosters · 4 Jun 2022 at 13:06

Either Gnabry really doesn’t like Bayern any more or his greed knows no bounds. That’s if the stories are true and he really has rejected an offer of €19m a year

robfosters · 6 Jun 2022 at 15:32

We need to get this Jesus deal over the line sharpish. Spurs and RM are sniffing around now.

I just know we’re gonna end up with DCL and Eddie up front ffs :mad:

I would be amazed if RM want Jesus. They have Benzema who is in the form of his life and could get far better strikers than Jesus if they wanted. Doesn't necessarily make sense to go to Spurs either as they have Kane. I assumed he wanted to leave City to be the main striker somewhere. Arsenal fits that and is about his level.

Who can they get?

Haalands gone, Mbappe is staying, Lewa is 35 years old, and Benzema is already 34 himself.

robfosters · 8 Jun 2022 at 11:29

I’m sure pool fans were saying they don’t want Nunez because he has an attitude problem

Pfft twitter for amateurs.

Need to get the plane tracking app.

Going to be a boring transfer deadline day if everyone picks up their main targets In the first week or two lol

Don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll fanny about for the next 8 weeks or so and scramble on the last day to get a couple of ’prospects’ in.

He's out of contract. Team should be this:

..................Ramsdale
Tomiyasu....White...Gabriel....Tierney
............Partey.....Torreira
....Saka.....Odegaard....Smith-Rowe
.................Martinelli

However I suspect Torreira won't get a look in, it will be Xhaka there.

I’m quietly confident that we’ll get Jesus. Just a fee to agree and it’s pretty close.

If we do though, we’ll have to play Elneny as there’s no way we’ll lose with Jesus and Mohammed in the same side
