Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

Pretty sure Whiteman's going to quit football, as he's a DJ these days

 

Forster was one of the few experienced players in the squad and I have no doubt brought that as a positive influence in the dressing room and on the training ground.
Reguilon should - and could - have been a much more valuable asset. His failure to create a really top career is a mix of bad management and his own failings. But HTF did he get a EL medal?
As for Werner.... Feel for the guy cos his attitude was good and somewhere in there is one helluva player. Trouble is, he just can't seem to cut it in the PL. Bizarre...

 

And rightly so. Top, top pro and a great servant of the club.
If he stays knowing his limited infield opportunities then I would hope that he would get a semi-coaching role. So much experience and he has the making of a good manager

A net £8m for Danso is a snip

 

Quite surprised they’ve not actually posted about Danso but then I suppose it was a foregone conclusion in Jan when the deal was announced.

CB depth is very sound now, I like all four of them albeit appreciate Dragusin isn’t really right for how Ange often wants to play - though ironically would’ve suited our style in the final the other week. There’s also Vuskovic and Phillips to assess too before deciding if they should head out again.

Spence being a better LB than RB means LB is sweet so it’s just hopefully sorting a RB this summer. There is a CG option that’ll be free… it’d feel like a smart pickup too, good player for depth and takes up a CG spot that would’ve been going spare in the CL.

I’d get rid of Dragusin if they can get the majority of what they paid for. To me he seems much more suited to Italian football than the Premier League and definitely not the right fit for Spurs under Ange. Danso is an ok enough backup for now.

I’d like to see another good CB signed even if Romero stays. Then you have 4 CBs push the youngsters. Dorrington needs a loan at Championship level to see how he gets on, he didn’t really pull up trees for Aberdeen but probably too soon to write him off.

 

Dorrington went from a youngster coming off a longterm knee injury to a key member of the first team, so he definitely left a mark

 

Not sure about that. He got plenty of minutes but they had injuries and he didn’t always perform well

 

Croatian sources report that Hamburg are looking to loan Luka Vuskovic for their return to the Bundesliga next season

That would be the Hamburg his older brother plays for...or would play for if he wasn't serving a three-year doping ban until November

 

City pursuing Rayan Ait Nouri, massive news for us as there’d been loose links over the months that Udogie was going to be their choice of LB.

 

Not the best defender, but very good going forward.
City may have changed their target after we qualified for the Champions League.
Rumours suggest that they're also going to sign a right-back. Can't say that I'm surprised.

 

Plettenberk says we're looking to loan Mathys Tel again, this time paying a loan fee up front with an obligation for next summer

Paratici is back, BAY-BAY!

 

Mbeumo’s seemingly preferring a move to Utd over other English clubs.

Would’ve loved him at Spurs.

 

If true, what does that suggest to you ??
That he :

1. believes than Man Utd are soon to restore
themselves to CL regulars, or PL/CL winning

2. is a wage mercenary

3. wants to play for his "boyhood club"

 

Or maybe just believes in his own ability to help score the goals we are lacking to raise us up the league a fair bit.

 

He's from the Mark Lawrenson school of believing what was true 25 years ago is true now

 

Well we already finished two places higher than the mighty trophy winning Spurs so maybe he's right

 

If he is driven by the belief that he can get
Man Utd to the position Brentford currently
are, then kudos to him.
