Transfer Rumours The Great Summer Splurge Transfer Window

Ah, Arsenal "keen" on Isak, bless.
The only player they've signed from us in nearly 50 years is Matthieu Debuchy, we ain't about to let them have anyone good.
I read somewhere scousers are going to try a cheeky bid of £35m for Hall lol
That's like what we paid for him, pretty much, maybe even less than we paid, as he's played for England now and presumably that triggered add ons.
And he'd be what....3rd choice behind Robertson and Tsimikas?
Replacement for Robertson,it was phrased as "getting the ball rolling" or money plus player/s!
Don't get it tbh, Robertson is only 30 and has at least another 4 years there. Plus Tsimikas is already cover there, wouldn't make sense for Hall even if they did want him.
I predict ISAK and Gordon to go in the summer.
We should get £200m for the pair I reckon.
We are a few years away from being able to keep them so need to accept the inevitable..

Spent a lot of money and the decent players we have don't really want to be here. Such a shame, but I suppose we'll need another step backwards before we can start to move forwards again.
Isak off looks like, but it's the absolutely need we have to shift the deadwood and upgrade significantly. I don't trust Howe to do what's necessary. Yet another relegation (Burnley, again) player incoming. Any talk of new contracts for Wilson, Targett, Schar, etc., needs to be shot down.

He kept Trippier & Almiron despite offers. He's also part of the management structure that ended up selling Minteh/Anderson and "snapping up" Odysseas, Osula and Kelly. He's at least partly to blame for the stagnation.
When he first arrived he had more about him. It appears to me that he's uninspiring and just doesn't really care that much. Perhaps I'm wrong, but he's becoming more and more dull.
It's like he's trying to prove a point in some kind of sulk about signings. The entire mood around him is flat
His insistence on repeatedly putting two (crap) keepers on the bench is baffling.
We covered all of this before. To be successful you have to maintain the spending. We haven’t. The blame for that is in the rules.
That's a separate debate. The rules are certainly an issue, but Howe has been backed as much as possible.
Not every manager gets hundreds of millions in 3 years without having to sell a key player.
Saying he hasn't been backed is just an excuse.
Like I said before we’ve already discussed this. Saying he’s had hundreds of millions over 3 years suggests constant consistent backing which is what you need to be successful and what he hasn’t had because of psr. He may have been backed recently as much as possible but due to psr that hasn’t been much recently so not the consistent spending you need to be at the top.
Everyone complaining about too many long in the tooth players here who need replacing. If we were able to spend they would have been replaced.
