Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Sky sports premier league but is also now on Sky sports on demand

 

Worth noting the Turkish las at Benfica who we have been loosely linked with was not in their squad for the champs league game

 

For the ignorant like me how do I find that on the telly ?

Edit... Found it!

 

Off to Fenerbahce apparently

 

It really was special. The whole club nailed the play off campaign. Those 20 minutes after Ballard hit the net will live with me forever.

 

It's funny, because I got Lukaku vibes. Our Dutch keeper - Van Der Sar vibes. Our attacking player from Bruges - De Ketelaere vibes.

Hope I'm right.

 

Who is?

 

If I had a choice mind I want Neil walking out as captain after signing a new contract. It gives the right signals to every kid on our books. Xhaka will always be a leader whether he has an armbands or not.

 

I’d agree if there was a formation we’d see them both starting. But they both play the same role in our system. And I want the better player there.

 

4-3-3. That's a formation where they can both start. It's not like they're only capable of one position. Both have played the 6 and 8 in the last 12 months.

 

IMO Neil is not getting in over Xhaka, Le Fee, Diarra or Sadiki

 

From what I’ve heard/read, Xhaka is best as an 8 alongside someone who sits and protects the back four. Xhaka might therefore actually suit playing alongside Neil or Sadiki.

Not sure who would sit in a midfield three of Enzo, Xhaka and Diarra. Even though they could all play the sitting role if needed. Hoping we see that trio together in the next friendly.

Sadiki has been a standout performer in pre-season but would be good to see different combinations. Would love to see Enzo as the deepest alongside Xhaka, as I think we would be able to keep the ball really well. Something we struggled with last year.

 

Kerem Aktürkoğlu a benfica winger that the Turkish media loosely linked us with

 

Xhaka will be the sitter like he was against Betis. He suits it so well

It's a squad game. There's time for all of these players.

 

Happy Big Man contract day one and all

 

That would be typical seeing how I'm missing both bastard home games

 

So,Guiu is in,which I'm really happy about...I think he will be an old style centre forward,in the box player,quality service in to him will be required.
What's the concensus on where that leaves us now? For me,a strong,pacy centre back,good with the ball,would round out an excellent window in terms of the squad,particularly if we can agree contracts with Neil,Cirkin,....and I think,Roberts and Huggins....all of whom I hope will stay.
If we can get a CB confirmed,I expect the rest of the window to focus on helping about 10 or so players to leave.
