Transfer Rumours The Great Summer Splurge Transfer Window

The scouse mafia probably have that money in whatever denomination you want to be fair

 

Watkins doesn't have too bad an injury record from memory. Proven goalscorer at PL and international level. I'd take him for two years and gives us time to find Isak's natural replacement. Our scouts seem to be more than capable of uncovering gems.

 

True

 

How about we agree to sell him

a. In January 2026
b. For £150M with all upfront.
c. Stick him in the U21’s and play him in goal.
d. Fine him 2 weeks wages for every single day he fails to attend training
e. Recover any ‘loyalty’ payments made during the entire course of his contract including signing on fee as he has failed to keep to his part of the contract

Assuming of course that was is being reported is all true.

 

The way this board is going I am imaging him lining up for Liverpool before some guy in black and white takes a pipe to his knee ala Nancy Kerrigan

He's just a fella, a Swedish one, which means he's worse than most

I did feel sorry for Dubravka after he'd been playing well and got dropped again as soon as Pope was fit, despite the fact that Pope has been dire before that (he improved at the end of the season).

Selling/loaning out Pope would be the best thing now, Ramsdale as no 1 with Dubravka as stand in. **** knows what's going on with the Greek guy.

 

Pope is the one that should have been kept on the bench.

The Greek guy has been treated abysmally btw.

 

He's probably on better wages than you and me to be fair

 

I wonder if the offer coming from Liverpool is some form of knowledge they have of our progress with his replacement (Sesko)?

 

Maybe we've told them we've got him.

If we have then sign Watkins and Wissa too.

 

What I don't get is where Vlach even is in the pecking order. With 5 keepers (before signing Ramsdale) even Ruddy and Thompson are getting more game time in the friendlies than Vlach is. Either give him a proper go, or at least showcase him so you can offload him.

 

£50k per week apparently.
Not too shabby for 5th choice goalkeeper.

 

We're all over Watkins now apparently. How much is he likely to cost as a quality option, albeit it 29 years old? £60m for three good years? Should perhaps consider moves for the likes of Openda first, if Sesko is a no go.

 

I just can’t see why Villa would sell to us. Unless it’s because of wage to income ratio issues.

 

I don't think that people truly appreciate just how good Watkins is.

 

You'd hope so but I dunno if this is actually how clubs operate

 

Oh look another Premier League player. I am shocked, we have never gone down this route before.........

Its all good
