Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Beat me to it

 

He’s a goalkeeper so you could probably argue his game wouldn’t be as stunted as an outfield player. Can’t blame him for going there but as @Smug in Boots pointed out earlier he’s going to be on mega money which no European club will offer him so unless he’s going to take a significant pay cut he’ll be seeing out his contract there. I’d be surprised if there’s even another goalkeeper in world football on £200k a week. Maybe Donarumma that’s probably it if any.

 

****ing love Leo me

 

I find that bizarre some folk are nuts

 

I must say, I'm very much que sera, sera and zen about things. I don't know if it's just mellowing with age or whether it's reflective of the fact I've so much faith in the club's hierarchy (and know we have a core of likeable, capable players already at the club) now that I feel I can just relax.

Having said that, I was a bit rattled by the Angelino link and fee that was being touted as it would have represented a departure and abandonment of what we've done well and what we (now) are.

As long as we remain a smart club and don't gamble any element of our long term sustainability in favour of short fixes then I'll remain satisfied and certainly won't be shedding any tears over the fact we've not got our first choice goalkeeper because we can't stretch to net wages of £10.5m a year.

 

No he wasn't. Johnson's agent cost him a lot of money. He was offered £18k a week here, having been in £6k. I think it was for three years, enough to set you up for life really. These figures emerged from the club after noise from Johnson's agent.

He drifted around all over after that. Massive error

 

I'm assuming the Reinildo signing would have been great in your eyes (it is btw) much smater than signing Angelino

 

Wasn't there a blooper reel of Bulka doing the rounds? Maybe someone could post that to make everyone feel better about him going elsewhere.

 

100%.
Delighted with it, all just made sense (in a way Angelino never did)

 

Definitely smarter. He's free, with no doubt a signing on fee as part of his wages. If he's been playing for Simione, he must be a tough character, so unless he has slipped off a cliff, he should be a smart signing

 

One of the nicest guys in football, he'll be great for our squad Reinildo

 

Depends how he’s recovered from his ACL

but low risk on a free

 

He's been back for 18 months and played plenty since then - there's loads of evidence on which the club can gauge that.

 

glad it over with

 

I'd like some closure on it from Fab. Even if its just words!! I want to see ambitious project and "moving on to other options" etc

 

In Patto we trust

 

still need a upgrade for premier league IMHO

 

I'm convinced we need a new keeper now. Mostly because it seems the club think we do and I've seen what we're willing to spend on one.

 

Djordje Petrovic is available but he'd probably be about £25m.
