Transfer thread for 2016-17 season

Can watch him on BBC in a few minutes

 

Yep, if it wasn't already obvious, we've Willian'd Everton (providing deal does go trhough!).

 

As long as we can afford it then I have bo problem and agree with you.
We now can put out a double hard midfield if we want too!

 

Haha, sorry Everton. I was happy for you to pay the £30m, honest!

 

If we sign Sissoko where's he going to play - CDM, LW, LWB?

 

Surely we were in first?

 

Still think it's very funny Jack wilshere is now playing for Bournemouth!!
Well maybe playing

 

So assuming Sissoko goes through, we're currently looking like:

Chadli - £13m
Ry - £13m
Pritch - £8m
Yedlin - £5m
Loans fees of Fazio and Nabs (supposedly £1m for Faz, £500k for Nabs).

Roughly just under £40m.

Janssen - £17m
Wanyama - £11m
Nkoudou - £11m
Sissoko - £30m ( at the fee!)

Roughly £69m.

So we've spent £29m this summer give or take a few mil either side if fees aren't entirely correct. Not bad when looking at it like that, though it's still hard to swallow the Sissoko fee.

 

If it does happen we do have the added bonus of pissing on Everton a bit, who look good and could be one of our rivals this season.
Someone mentioned it earlier but thought I'd reiterate.

Sometimes a players worth can be calculated in more ways than just the fee. Certainly Chelsea seem to think that's the case with their hoarding

 

True... Though all hope was somewhat lost as of 45 mins ago.

 

Probably in the Dembele role

...and that's the point where we find ourselves asking if we should be paying £30m for, essentially, Dembele's understudy.

 

Well I like spudulike but then I like citizen kane, only one way to sort this out...FIGHT

 

At least he fits the criteria for their mascot.

 

If it doesn't happen we've pissed on Everton, Newcastle and Sissoko !

 

I just hope we get the EURO2016 Sissoko and not the NUFC player who blew hot and cold. We'll see...

 

Remember a few months ago how Axel Witsel was habitually linked with us?

He was set to join Juventus for £17m - only Zenit pulled the Marseillesiest of Marseilleses and pull the plug with less than half an hour to go before the window shuts, even though Witsel's got less than a year on his contract.

 

It's the first time that I've wanted one of these ridiculous deadline day deals to fall through.
If we pay £30m for Sissoko, then I'll be bloody fuming. Totally not worth it and his attitude last season was appalling.

 

He's a big lad. I think he'll come in useful blocking up the gap in the stands when it gets cold and drafty. We could even give him his own stool to stand on.

 

Is it too late to bin Sissoko and jump in for another Belgian?
