Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

[Late goal Scorer]

Rather stick with Patterson, he will be perfectly fine

On the basis van de Sar reckons Riznyk can be one of the best keepers in the world I’d plump for him.

 

[Pure River Slut]

There's been this attitude of "why would he want to leave" from most mags I know. Seems that way from the club aswell, he has a contract yes, however most people fail to see that contracts are used for both parties, protection for the player, and guaranteed fee for the club.

Done well it can strengthen you longer term but they’re like man children the owners

personally I don't think it's going to be as straightforward for them as some may think.

It'll be interesting to see. I think they'll do it with some slack.

 

[One footed wonder]

If that Hackney deal goes through then it just shows how important promotion was for us. Having the ability to splash £20m in the Championship on a single player if we go down is just a cheat code.

aye, ability to whack that kind of money at that level is a huge advantage, strange they throw it away on hackney…..good player don’t get me wrong but not a difference maker and not a 20m player in my opinion

 

[RedNWhite4Life]

Everything is in Newcastle man! Roker and Seaburn (that was a joke by the way) are there now, the deluded thick bastards.

I would build a border and if you cant prove an allegiance to Sunderland, turn them back

I disagree. I'd be ****ed come match day

Riznyk and Ortega are both likely better imo, also doesn’t help Patto has played one pre season game due to injury and is missing the next two. Can’t be relying on Moore. Bring one of those two in to compete with Patto for me

 

[Teessidemackem]

He's their best player by a distance.

Absolutely, just saying what their fans say about him

Diaz will terrorise the Bundesliga is similar way Ribery did.

If I played for a club like Leverkusen, I’d definitely get the hell outta there cos Bayern gonna cakewalk that league….

 

[C Montgomery Burns]

Yep , all football logic says he goes.

But this is political. For the Saudi government, and make no mistakes that is what we are talking about here, it will be humiliating . That's why I think they will dig in. This is them being put in their place, and they won't like it.

I have always been sceptical about them being there in the really longer term. This is a litmus test of their intentions.

I don't know mate, their big thing is promoting Saudi as a country. If that's the case the mags themselves might not be that important for it to be considered as a humiliation.

The aim now seems to be getting things there and promoting the place for tourism and inward investment. It's why they've spent so much on LIV golf, high profile boxing matches, Formula 1 and are heavily sniffing around tennis. The players they've signed to play in Saudi seems to be all about improving their league and raise it's profile. They have the big one in being awarded the world cup in 2034, so there's going to be loads of focus on that for the next few years. Add in whispers of eventually bidding to host the Olympics and you can see all the major focus is directed there, not promoting via an external body.

I agree it's a litmus test, if they let Isak go without adequately replacing him you'll see the mags slip in importance to them. I guess only time will tell.

 

[Frazier the Lion]

It’s entirely possible that their squad is too big and with too much waste in it. Probably still us enough to be right up there but I wouldn’t be completely shocked if they underwhelm.

 

[Frazier the Lion]

Ortega for me purely cos he knows the league and less of a risk

With his age and a year left on his deal we’d probably be talking a relatively low fee. City won’t be looking to take anyone’s eyes out. The bigger question is wages. However he’d be a good bridge for a couple of years while we get established.

With his age and a year left on his desk we’d probably be talking a relatively low fee. City won’t be looking to take anyone’s eyes out. The bigger question is wages. However he’d be a good bridge for a couple of years while we get established.

Seems the most sensible option of the two, it’ll probably be someone completely left field like had come round the idea of ramsdale but that link seems to have disappeared

Then the nunez money to follow and thats isak paid for on outgoing fees and wages saved, add Elliot to the sales and possibly Doak as well and Liverpool will be well within psr rules

Think ramsdale the player was always probably okay. The issue for me was always the deal it would take to get him. North of £20m would be the expectation. Now you’d probably get him on a loan towards the deadline but we shouldn’t wait that long. Even before the Patto injury it was a bad idea to make a keeper change mid-season. Also we should be saving loans for a bit of stardust. With ortega likely to be available for a third of the price of Ramsdale (or maybe even less) he represents a more appropriate option imo. Not a star, but a solid solution at an affordable price.

Ortega a much better option than Patterson, comfortably too

 

[FellTop]

So at the moment for GK it seems potential options are Riznyk and Ortega? Who would we prefer?

Would have to be Ortega for me. I think a few more players in, where the risk and potential reward are both lower, is not a bad tactic right now.

 

[SISAO33]

Wissa refusing to train now, they will be down there imo

 

[LD19SAFC]

Such a clique vibe

all defending a lad because they know, if one of my mates says something and someone doesn’t believe him I don’t go round jumping down peoples throats

now people are jumping on cam for posting links to journalists from Twitter that he’s not making up

end of the day the lad said Xhaka was waiting in Zurich to fly to the UK but he clearly isn’t

that’s fact the evidence is out there

All the oldies sticking together
