Transfer thread for 2016-17 season

I think this is the year for CCV, Winks, Onomah and Edwards.
Just being honest, or managing expectations. Yes, it's definitely one of those

 

Lyall Thomas has said that we are interested in Calhanoglu, but he's unsure whether we'll go for him if we fail to land Sissoko.

 

Does anyone think the likes of Sissoko are bonus additions to the squad
rather than must haves ??

If so, then I fully support any last minute Levying to get such players on the cheap.
Otherwise, perhaps the transfer window should be forced shut for Spurs 5 days earlier.

 

Benitez had said: “Moussa is now the big name in the market - if someone wants Moussa, they have to pay. If we are happy with the price, and he is happy, then we can maybe consider. But if we are not happy, then he can stay here and I will be really, really pleased to keep him.”

Rafa's not a poker player. That's too many "really's" by a factor of two. Levy's going to sense blood now.

 

I'd say our must haves have been done already in Janssen and Wanyama.

Of course I'd like a bit of reinforcement bonuses but I won't cry if we don't purchase anyone today other than Nkoudou. It's one of the first times where I'm currently calm as to what happens, I know I've joked about Isco and I would absolutely love it if he joined but that's a sort of dream move.

Way I see it, if our first team is:
Hugo
Walker, Toby, Jan, Rose
Dier, Dembele
Lamela, Eriksen, Alli
Kane

With a bench of:
Vorm, Davies, Wimmer, Wanyama, Son, Nkoudou Janssen

With McGee/ Lopez, Tripps, Winks, Onomah, Carroll, Edwards and Harrison in reserve, then I think that's a very decent squad (feel sorry for Tripps that I find it hard to get him among the subs, think he's a great back up).

We also have a major advantage in that we have a settled first XI when all are fit, in some respects, it's quite priceless to boast that these days.

 

Noooooo.

I thought we were seriously getting him. I have been relying on you as a ITK.

 

I dream of a team of Moussas?

 

There's only one winner on Transfer Deadline Day: Sky Sports, due to all the people refreshing their page every couple of minutes and giving them a ****ton of ad revenue as a result.

 

I feel similar wrt the current incomings.

The problem we have is that Levy has previous on doing this for must haves,
so we will assume by default that Sissoko etc are must haves.

 

And Skybet (for those prepared to take their stupidity to handing over money rather than
merely clicking refresh) .

 

Not from me, i refresh this thread for my news.

 

Or Moussa-haves?

Told you Levy was a genius

 

The Daily star are reporting Chelsea are outbidding us on Sissoko. 'The Willian End Game' in action.

Let's hope we get GKN at this point because time's-a-ticking.

 

Me neither. I have an ethernet cable going directly from my computer to one of SoS orifices.

I'm happier than in the past for these reasons. I am anxious we get N'Koudou instead of N'Jie. The latter may be a good player, but we need someone with the former's skills, especially as I think he may turn out to be very good.

(edit) And N'Jie seems to have completed his medical, so that means (if true and in theory) we should be hearing the N'Koudou confirmation soon.

 

!

 

Despite all these transfer speculations, is anyone else preparing for the possibility of no new transfers today? To be honest, any of the current speculations would be like a dream, barring Zaha!

 

Me. We're not bringing anyone in. Newcastle will have to bring the price down dramatically on Sissoko, which they won't do.

I'm hoping the interest ends early enough, because apparently there's interest in Hakan Calhanoglu. Unknown whether we'd go in for him, but interest must end in Sissoko for it to happen, apparently.

 

Apparently the goalkeeper is done. On loan for the season.
