Transfer Rumours Summer 2024

[Gregm1988]

He will have seen England struggle to transition from defence to midfield and will surely have some belief he can be the missing piece…

Isn’t that what the Palace guy does and he didn’t get a look in. Never seen him play but I’m sure I saw a comment to that effect. Wharton?

Neither of the two of them get in ahead of Rice and Mainoo I don’t think. And then there is Bellingham / Foden - since our issue was trying to play both and it was unbalanced. And of course Kane offering nothing

I guess Mainoo’s spot is up for discussion but I don’t see it really. Maybe different people for different games

Or having a squad where you use all the players available.

Good. One of the most overhyped, underwhelming signings we've ever made. And still people think "he'll come good" ... delusion.

If he flops this season his resale value will be bugger all. If we can get £10m for him this window then I'd cut our losses and sell.

Terrible player. Couldn't even hack it in the Championship

Am a little unmoved by this one, as I don’t think he’s much good really.

Sums up our business so far then

He's like a slightly worse Che. Would be a decent squad addition on a free, but can't imagine his wages are light, and I'd like to think we have some better talents we're after.

No thanks to Braithwaite

I’ve always thought we’d end up getting Broja on a loan to buy option.

Broja on loan With a option to buy makes sense.
