Transfer Rumours The Summer “Have We Signed Anyone Yet?” Thread

This is getting annoying.

 

I agree, but we’re stuck with VAR

He was never as good an actor as his brother Robert

 

That is actually quite funny.

 

Watched some Celta matches because of Boufal. Sisto was atrocious when he wasn't totally invisible. Their fans were mulling whether he needed to be loaned out to a lesser league.

Article explaining the Ings deal and what it means for Burnley...they will get more if Liverpool get more in add-ons based on Ings' appearances for Saints. There is also a 20% sell on deal between Saints and Liverpool. Sales these days aren't as simple as they used to be with a cascade of money down the line...and let's not forget that any club involved in the development of a youth player can also post a claim (which is a good thing for small outfits).

 

Going to someone in red and white stripes, Brentford apparently.

 

That’s a steal at that price.

 

Disappointing, but not surprised. Better be around the same money though.

 

He's a talented player without a doubt, whether he is entirely suited to the pace of the game in England is another matter. He has no chemistry with Oriel whatsoever as a pairing and we have other options in Pierre, JWP and the very promising Slattery. Could be a good move for all concerned IMO.

 

I would be quite sorry to see Mario go, but then I would just remind myself of the numerous, and sometimes very costly, times the man who “Never gives the ball away” gave the ball away. All out CBs rightly got flack for doing that, but for a DM, Mario does it a lot.

There is a good player in there though.

 

Nothing against Lemina and would be happy to keep him if Ralph saw something he could use, but don't care enough to be bothered if he leaves. Mario has the talent to be better in another team....wish him well if he goes. Suspect we may take a hit in order to facilitate a move, but that's the price we pay for losing our way over the past few years...if he isn't going to be a regular starter, let him go, recoup some money, save his wages and free the manager's mind up to concentrate on the team he wants.

Ps.In some defence of Lemina we should remember that he had a period out injured.

 

A possibility then...not an own thread with an exclamation mark.

I presume he is a striker who can also play as a pacey CB

Alex Crook tweeted on the 4th there was nothing in it!
