Transfer Rumours The 2015 Summer Transfer Window Thread

... but fans can't

 

Sure, agreed, but there seems little appetite for giving people a chance on occasion here! He may well fail, but let's give him (and Caulker) a fair crack of the whip.

 

OMG, what are we doing? There's going to be no-one left... etc, etc

 

Always nice to read these articles: http://www.theguardian.com/football...ett-southampton-youth-system?CMP=share_btn_tw

 

I seem to remember Gardos performing rather superbly in our win at Old Trafford after Toby left the pitch early. That doesn't exactly fit the "not good enough" bill for me.

 

Mirror reporting we were trying to get Chambers back on loan , really could not see where they would think up this story from

 

Someone a lot of us are keen on:

SEVILLA OFFER FOR EVERTON TARGET ‘ridiculous’

Anderlecht president Roger Vanden Stock has described Sevilla’s offer for Belgium playmaker Dennis Praet as “ridiculous”.

Sevilla, according to reports in Spain, have tabled a bid of around €6m for the 21-year-old, who won Belgium’s Golden Shoe award earlier this year.

Vanden Stock says the youngster, who has been linked with Everton, is ready to try his luck elsewhere but says Sevilla will have to up their offer if they want to land the midfielder.

He told Het Nieuwsblad: “What Sevilla offer for the best Belgian player is ridiculous. We want a fair price. Dennis Praet wants to go. The best thing for Praet is to stay for one more year.”

 

There have been a number of reports, all stating however that either player or manager has rejected this offer - again no idea of its accuracy

 

What do you make of this lads

We forked out 8 big ones for him last season. Which was £7.9m too much

 

Wouldn't be a bad option as 3rd/4th choice. We need two CB's anyway. Koeman has gotten the best out of our current defenders so I'm hopeful he can do it with Caulker as well.

 

That's just because the bill is not good enough

 

Fingers crossed this isn't just a rumour.

 

So Wenger has said there has been no approach for Chambers.

 

Only very dodgy journalists would consider writing something for Shoot

 

Caulker has proven he is good when he plays alongside a leader. He would do well with Fonte.

 

What if it was Fonte who was injured, how would he be with Maya (who has improved immeasurably in the last season)

 

With the media reporting we are looking at a loan move for a CB, here is a discussion, Caulker or Chambers?
IMHO, Caulker is probably a better specialist CB but Chambers is more versatile and can play CB, RB and DM

 

Not really any point in discussing Chambers. Wenger said no approach has happened and he is part of the first team squad.

 

I still think we will bring in a CB to replace Toby and that Caulker is being considered as cover for Gardos. On loan, we can either keep him and sell Gardos next year, or send Caulker back.

It all seems fairly sensible and straight forward to me and I am not sure why some seem to have crossed wires.
In no particular order:
Last year..................This Year
Toby ....................... New CB (Virgil)
Fonte........................ Fonte
Maya........................ Maya
Gardos .................... Caulker (possibly on loan)
