Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

Agree re Skipp and Bissouma but this will be a long and tough season with us having to take every competition seriously, the world Cup and the 5 subs rule.
Although Hoejberg ain't the best in his position I think he'd be hard to improve on cos other clubs will not want to sell and he is a very decent player in his position.

 

Di Marzio says Milan are offering loan with option for Tanganga but we want loan and obligation.

Telegraph saying we’re interested in Trevor Chalobah, not a chance Chelsea deal with us.

Gianluigi Longari says we’ve been offered Malinovskyi for €20m but so far haven’t made an offer.

Edit: Now reports are saying Malinovskyi’s deal to Marseille has broken down as he wants to join us. An exchange with Reguilon is complicated but being explored.

 

Couldn't we use deep-fake technology to create a reel where Harry Winks looks world-class and send that to Real Madrid?

 

Deep Throat might do it.

 

It's not a floor, but it's a flaw - after all, how many teams would be put off buying him by the knowledge that Los Ladrones could gazump them in a heartbeat if they wanted to?

 

Has Gil been on steroids?

On a separate note does anyone know who the Korean or Chinese YouTubers were outside the ground yesterday?

 

Gil definitely hit the gym in the off season, as did Sessegnon

Sarr clearly needs to, given how many of our other CMs are built like tanks

 

No, but they were probably Korean.
We had the Son/Hwang double yesterday, though both were pretty poor.

 

Not a lot wrong with that Paratici should be on the next plane

 

Good goal.

Apparently, Roma's Wijnaldum has broken his leg, which may make Zaniolo more important to Roma....or less so, if Mourinho wants a like for like replacement in midfield. I reckon that there's still some twists and turns before we're done.

 

Surely the Ukrainians need a cannon like his left foot on the front lines...?

 

It's a shame Maureen has already seen Winks in action or we'd be able to sell them said like for like replacement.

 

Forest in talks over a loan for Reguilon.

Lazio also apparently interested in him.

I still think we should try doing a swap deal with Atalanta for Malinovskyi, both teams want each other’s players… kind of feels too obvious to do, don’t it?!

 

Someone already said it on here , where are Forest getting the money from, I want them to do well ( not too well) but not at the expense of going bust

 

Feels like they’re heavily banking on remaining in the Prem. Steve Cooper’s a good manager though so I think they do have a decent chance of doing so.

 

Romano saying that Gil loan to Valencia has been agreed (no obligation or option)...


Let's go shopping again.

 

The last two games in particular have highlighted the enduring lack of quality on the right flank and relative lack of creativity in central midfield. I think Bissouma and Skipp getting more involved will help alleviate the latter problem, but the former is a real puzzler as Conte is currently doing a bit of a Southgate impression, with all of Emerson, Doherty, Spence and Lucas training and available as RWBs, yet none of them seem anywhere close to the level we need them to be.

There also appears to be no real desire to invest in that area, as all 4 options look like they're staying put this summer. I imagine if an enticing bid came in for Emerson l, we'd take it. But Doherty won't bring in much of a fee while Lucas seems to be in the manager's good books.

 

Crooked owners apparently.
