2020/21 ‘Summer’ transfer window thread

[Tel (they/them)]

Fergie had an unreal squad to choose from and could basically put out a second XI almost as strong as the first. credit to him too, because he brought loads of those players in as unknowns and through the youth ranks and turned them into top class players.

Don't think Ole has nearly the same luxury as that, although in attack you have got some quality talent in Martial, Greenwood & Rashford,

Fergie beat you lot 8-2 with Nani, Cleverley, Anderson and Young in midfield bro. Fergie didn’t need stars, he beat teams before they got on the pitch.

We once beat you with a team full of defenders as well remember

Two RB’s, Two LB’s, 3 centre halves, a DM and two strikers.

Half the defenders ended up getting ****ed off to the likes of Sunderland and QPR as well.

Yeah we've had some ****ing abominations at OT. We've also won the league there, so it ain't all bad.

But yeah, the Fergie mind games were legendary. The **** would literally needle away about a week before the game trying to get in the head of the oppo. The Keegan meltdown is a classic Fergie mind ****

I’d be surprised if they’re all still there. We know how FSG like to cash in while the assets are hot.

I’m already hearing the fizz start to foam over Sancho to United, among the ranks of this board... you lot are dead now, Kane will be looking at that front 6 we have thinking he’d **** himself silly if he got chance to mix it with them, but don’t worry, his legs are almost gone so we’ll be steering well clear.

I had to laugh at the scousers with Werner, they were absolutely certain he was theirs, Klopp had contacted him personally and everyting.
When he joined Chelsea and was asked why he had picked them his response was Frank Lampard

 

[PINKIE]

Who are they going to throw it at? Seriously, name these players out there? They can't even replace Kompany. Personally don't see a lot of quality big signings out there like before.

Don't confuse him with actual football details mate.

You're right though, I just don't see which players are out there that they could reasonably bring in to fix up their defensive problems. Koulibaly maybe ? He'd cost them a **** ton of cash and is he really going to make the difference. That City back line needs a total ****ing overhaul imo

 

[Hoddle is a god]

Spurs should have sold Kane last summer when his stock had peaked. Now teams will be looking at that mouth breathing simpleton and thinking there's no way they want to splash £80m on crock.

Bookmarked.

That will great in my siggy.

So you're saying that Spurs are going to sell him then ?

That's probably the only one. And they'll probably turn him to **** because the problems are bigger than just one CB. They need a rebuild imo, replacements for Silva, Fernandango and Aguero.

The back line isn't as drastic as it looks/performs. Get a good CB to go with LaPort and a decent LB, that allows Fernandino to get back as a DM which will cover the defence.
It will make a massive difference to them.

 

[Hoddle is a god]

So you're saying that Spurs are going to sell him then ?

No, mate.

He's not for sale.

You saying he's crock, if he goes on to have another blinding season, that's what will go in my siggy.

Surprised you are willing to make the same old **** up, tbh.

 

[PINKIE]

Exaclty. Stones is ****. Otamendi has declined, it's only really Laporte who looks decent at the back there. City have had an incredible array of attacking talent over the last few years, but as you mention, those players are probably past their best now. Silva is off, Aguero is still a monster, but he's so injury prone these days.

Pep would need another £500m to rebuild that squad, but I just don't see him being able to find the players of that sort of calibre, certainly not in one summer anyway.

 

[Diego]

That's probably the only one. And they'll probably turn him to **** because the problems are bigger than just one CB. They need a rebuild imo, replacements for Silva, Fernandango and Aguero.

Aguero isn't quite finished yet mate and even without him they score more goals than anyone else, they had nobody near the "golden boot" really but still scored 17 more goals than any other team in the league.

 

[PINKIE]

No, mate.

He's not for sale.

You saying he's crock, if he goes on to have another blinding season, that's what will go in my siggy.

stfu Kipper you mong.

Kane is injury prone, that's not news.

 

[Hoddle is a god]

Lol!

Coming from the bright spark who said that Kane was a one-season wonder!

....I just don't see which players are out there that they could reasonably bring in to fix up their defensive problems...

That's because you struggle to understand footy.

Okay, so answer Treble's question then, instead of making a **** of yourself.

 

[Hoddle is a god]

Who are they going to throw it at? Seriously, name these players out there? They can't even replace Kompany. Personally don't see a lot of quality big signings out there like before.

Possibly.

But if any team has the financial clout to make a move, it's City. Especially since they know FFP is now a dead duck.

 

[Hoddle is a god]

Sorry, mate. You've said it and I can't take it back.

 

[Hoddle is a god]

Just did.



You really do have clown-sized feet, Pix. Lol!

 

[Treble]

Aguero isn't quite finished yet mate and even without him they score more goals than anyone else, they had nobody near the "golden boot" really but still scored 17 more goals than any other team in the league.

I don't think Aguero is finished but (as you've quoted Fergie and I'd imagine Pep is the same) you got to know when to think about replacing players. Agree about the goals, they have some good players who will always do the business in a poor league. Doesn't necessarily mean the squad's not on the decline though.

 

[Diego]

Just did.

You didn't really answer though did you, yes you said they had the financial clout but never mentioned any merchandise (players).

 

[Treble]

Possibly.

But if any team has the financial clout to make a move, it's City. Especially since they know FFP is now a dead duck.

They've got the money and they'll spend it. But who's out there? Koublakhan as Pixie mentioned but not much else? Not many stellar signings for City to throw the cash at like in days gone by imo.
