Summer transfer thread

Rumours of drinkwater still floating about him and a younger lads would be ideal

 

Yeah, I'm a fan of Drinkwater. If he can keep focused and away from off-field antics, he'll be comfortably our best midfielder. I'd forgotten about him.

 

A 20 year old lad was worn out because he’d played half a season of football? So by your logic if we had a full team of kids they’d all be knackered by January, then what do we do?

 

Wouldn’t offer him more than a year like maybe even 6 months to prove fitness/attitude to begin with

 

Drinkwater floating I see what you did.

 

Surely Monaco B have some git big c**t who can play in the middle like Onana who Everton have just signed…

 

Haha wish I could say I meant it

 

Have a good replacements? Nothing to do with experience considering Evans looks knackered after 70 minutes every game

 

Never really understood the desire for big players mind. I dont know many clubs these days value height, other than in keepers.

 

It should be more about reading the game and being quick over the ground

 

Yes please

From Wiki:

Gomes is nicknamed "N'Golo Kanté" by his teammates, who liken him to the French international midfielder for his efforts in recovering the ball.

Two attractive lasses on 28 secs, then a mag fan on 29 secs.

Turned it off.

 

Looking at the bench tonight , we are desperate to get some signings in. Seemed to be close to 4 or 5 signings for ages now without anything happening

 

I'd want him and an experienced CM, the boy is quality and has huge potential. I'd like an experienced player like Drinkwater as well

 

I never said buy a knacker just because he’s tall.. but in general teams do have fairly big midfielders. Even Rodri and Fabinho are both 6’3. Adds a bit of much needed physicality for us in the middle and contributes to set piece defending/threat which we are pretty poor at on both fronts.

 

We tried this with Alfred Ndiaye I think that was his name built like a tank but couldn't trap a bag of sand

 

Fair enough, mate. I'd go along with that.

 

Just realised Sheff Utd have Mcatee and Doyle in the squad tonight, both on loan from City.

 

Simms and Stewart would cause Doyle all sorts of bother. McAtee looks the business like.

 

I think you've got your Doyle mixed up mate
