Summer Transfer Window 22/23

[robfosters]

Aren't you the only club even going for Jesus? I hear Madrid were interested but they can't register another foreign player.

There’s apparently been some interest from Spurs and Chelsea as well

 

[robfosters]

Really rate Elliott but having said that, I'd like to do both, see more of Elliott AND sign Tielemans

Tielemans is ours I’m afraid

 

[robfosters]

Lots of talk circulating atm that either Leicester have accepted a bid from us for Tielemans or it’s coming very shortly. Fee is said to be £25m with addons, rising to a potential £30m. Pinch of salt stuff but it does seem that maybe only a late gazumping from Pool or Utd could mess it up now.

 

[robfosters]

I'm really not sure about him, i've never really seen him stand out. Presumably he's to replace Xhaka but with more of an attacking threat?

He’s one of those players who’s very good but often flies under the radar a bit. He’s been one of the best players in Belgium's recent nations league games. We’d all ideally like better, but we have to be realistic about where we are and who we can attract now. I think Tielemans and Jesus would actually be a decent result. We’re still to see what Marquinhos is like too.

 

[robfosters]

I don't see them 2 making much of a difference to us.

EDIT
Just not playing Xhaka would probably save us a few games in penalties and red cards actually.

Who do you want then? Be realistic.

 

[robfosters]

I honestly haven’t got a clue what our transfer policy is any more. It’s seriously all over the shop.

 

[robfosters]

He got an assist against Liverpool. We haven’t got anyone who can do that! SIGN HIM UP QUICK

 

[robfosters]

Jesus and Tielemans seem like good signings

Not so confident on Tielemans now we’ve gone in with £30m for this guy. All 3 would come to about £110m.

Would Stan spend that after spending £150m last year? I’m not so sure.

 

[robfosters]

Looks like Jesus could be getting very close now.

 

[robfosters]

Ornstein now reporting we’re in for a defender called Lisandro Martinez. Really not familiar with him tbh. Looks around the £30-35m mark.

 

[robfosters]

He’s certainly not itching for a move, we’re trying to capitalise on Barcelona’s financial situation to get a player Ten Hag really wants.

I wonder who their back up option is. Must be one just in case.

 

[robfosters]

Guendouzi’s a proper bell. I can’t stand that guy.

 

[robfosters]

Looks like Tielemans might be signing a one year extension at Leicester

If Arsenal was in the CL, I'm sure he would be gone from us.

Why the sad face? I thought you’d be happy he was staying

 

[robfosters]

Not signing another striker would be a sacking offence imo

 

[robfosters]

Looks like any deal Utd were hoping for with Vitinha is dead. Going to PSG now.

 

[robfosters]

Rafinha talk is ribbish imo. He’s holding out for Barca, he ain’t coming here, and if it means we lose Saka, I don’t want him anyway.

Where has this news even come from?

 

[robfosters]

Pope to Newcastle for £30m, Ornstein reporting deal agreed in principle

 

[robfosters]

£30m?!?!?

Oh yeah sorry, I’m still waiting for my new reading glasses

 

[robfosters]

Looks like Lukaku to Inter is done. £8m & add ons. Nice little £92m loss for Chelsea there

Biggest flop of all time imo.

 

[robfosters]

Christ on a bike, I can’t get anything right today.

I might as well go to bed tbh
