afar Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Ross Barkley doesn't seem to be getting anywhere at Chelsea. It felt like the wrong move for him at the time. A season-long loan move might be possible. He's a talent that's surely going to come good at some stage. I'm personally not interested in loans next season (unless there is deal in place to buy them, already agreed), this season it was necessary because we clearly didn't have the finances. There is literally no excuse, even though it looks practically certain that Ashley will still be in charge for next season. They've gotten through a PL season, without spending anywhere near the amount they should have, coupled with a low wage bill by PL standards and off a huge profit on transfer dealings the previous year. I don't buy any stories of poverty because we spent one year out of the top flight. We can't get sucked into the loan game like the Mackems did, it will kill your club in the end, while just aiding the development assets of teams you compete against. No problem with the Merino, Dubravka and Atsu type deals, but don't want another Kenedy one for next year. If we did a loan for Barkley would need that buy option inserted.

Kimbo Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Definitely no loans without an option to buy, if we don't get Kenedy this summer i'll be sick as a sick pig. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys career could be done in about three years at this rate. Will be turnng out for Wigan or someone in the championship. Damn. Yet another stupid fucking decision made by a player to go to a 'big club' rather than somewhere he'd be playing every week, the type people were telling me definitely won't happen with Kenedy.

Altamullan Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Won’t be long until we’re into June, wonder whether it will be as angst ridden in here this year? Don’t even know whether to bother hoping for more early activity this time around or to just accept we’ll do nothing transfer wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t even know whether to bother hoping for more early activity this time around or to just accept we’ll do nothing transfer wise. With the world cup being on this summer and the transfer window closing before the start of the season it's going to be a very small amount of time that we'll be active in the window so I haven't got my hopes up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_window Transfer Window 17 May – 9 August Premier League clubs in England voted to end the summer window on the Thursday before the start of the season - on August 9 in 2018, instead of August 31. Because FIFA demands the window must be open for 12 weeks, the window will open around May 17, shortly after the final games of the season on May 13. Clubs will be able to sell players until August 31 but not buy replacements after the deadline of August 9. Although, in England, transfers between clubs in the same league can take place as soon as the last competitive fixtures for the season have been played, many transfers will not be completed until 1 July because many players' contracts expire on 30 June. International transfers into the English leagues (including the Premier League) cannot be made until the window has opened on 17 May. Less than 2 weeks until the transfer window opens.

Depends on who is available. Discounting Dubravka and Merino who both had options to buy, we've only had one loan all season. I'd take on more in a similar deal with Kennedy if it would enable us to fill two positions instead of one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I don't think we are honestly in the market for players like Fellaini and Barkley. They may be achievable from a transfer fee perspective but we are not going to come close to meeting their wage demands. Think we'll continue to look abroad for bargains, or try to lure young domestic based players who have yet to prove themselves. Also, 70 million over three windows, as the ronny gill is reporting, is honestly not a lot in today's market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Who have been the performing players from the lower half of the table this season?I'm thinking of Baines when he was a Wigan, Harry Maguire and Andy Robertson at Hull. Would love for us to make a statement and sign a player from our rivals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
