Transfer Deadline Day Summer 2022: Much Edu About Nothing

[Batman]

Really didn't want auba go to Chelsea. Was fun seeing them play Havertz as CF.

Will be even more fun seeing him get Saliba'd twice this year.

 

[14Henry]

We have plenty of cover in the wide areas tbh, you're gonna see Vieira and ESR a lot in the EL and Saka/Martinelli seem to be fairly solid WRT injuries anyway, CM is the only area of concern and only because of two injuries.

Exactly what I've been saying I agree.

 

[Keplaz]

You're being hilariously bitter over very little. Never heard someone say that X player raped Y player in a footballing context? I hear it all the time on here, in the pub, at matches etc.

I bet you'd be straight over there telling them off, wouldn't you

Besides you brought the term up, if you don't want it used then don't use it you hypocrite.

We used to say he has the touch of a rapist when we were teenagers. Then we grew up.

Can’t keep up with this thread while working.

Heccy B terminated
AMN loan
Going for Douglas Luiz?

Yes
Yes
We bid 20M for luiz

 

[Game Over]

As it stands we've a 25 man squad which is effectively a 20 man squad which is presently nearer a 16 man squad with injuries. All too predictable.

For 4 competitions, it’s no where near enough. Wheels come off October by my calculations.

 

[Aussie_gunner123]

We are pretty short squaded in general, if we let anyone leave before getting someone I'll be pretty disappointed.

i hope a winger in the last minute

 

[GoonerBoy19]

lol, Barca will sign bellerin for free and sell back to PL in 6months with a 15mn profit. They are experts in money laundering, while kindergarten kids run our club.

 

[bergholt]

Were prepared to put serious money down for Raphinha.

Maybe we were hoping Pepe would get us a fee, and at that point we hadn't bought anyone else so had room to move?

 

[14Henry]

Because a squad with Lokonga around was never good for me, he needed to go in loan, develop with constant football time in another team meanwhile we can fight for top 4 without him losing us points.

Even if Elneny was around a better mid was needed. One to rotate with Xhaka/Partey. And honestly I would prefer Neves than Vieira. ESR can rotate with Ode, while Neves could be rotating with Xhaka and Partey.

Now we have a boy with supposed potential who hasn't played a single minute by the manager for some reason and a Belgian midfielder who is not ready.

Xhaka-Neves-Ode would be more impactful than Vieira around warming the bench.

Nothing wrong with Lokonga playing 6-8 EL matches, half a dozen CC and FA cup matches and getting 15-20 minutes here and there. Liverpool have Elliott and Jones who are young. They don't send them on loan this season because they know they need depth and numbers.

 

[SK___]

I love Barcelona, took Song off us now Bellerin.

Their gluttons for punishment.

+ auba thank christ

Don't expect anymore outgoing after bellerin and AMN. Only maybe youngsters like Azeez

For 4 competitions, it’s no where near enough. Wheels come off October by my calculations.

There’s only 11 premier league games left before the world cup.
Then the window is open again.

We’ll be fine without a winger with Vieira and ESR as cover till then.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

The Oscar Wilde of our times. Best of luck!

Yeah that's a good point, not a long period before Jan

Does that mean a number change for Saliba?

[Sapient Hawk]

Totspur can't even convince James to join lol

He's seen Conte's style of play & realized he's in danger of turning into an Aurier clone once he joins so promptly said f*ck that!

 

[Sanchez11]

So Luiz is basically a long term Elneny replacement.

I guess if I put my Positive Peter hat on, I’d say he’s cheap, PL experienced and a good age, and as long as he’s energetic, combative and can screen the defence then he doesn’t have to be the best creator, if Ødegaard and Xhaka are also there.

Hes here as a Partey back up nothing more.
