ads Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Never going to happen but Martial would of been a "shock signing" i expected under Rafa then what we have currently brought in, Him and Gayle would never work though Yeah I'm pretty sure Gayle would find himself on the bench Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Richard Keys is a spanner. He should know better than spreading rumours like that. As for our business this window, we're the pigeons waiting for the scraps from a bag of chips until after the seagulls have their fill. There may be some tasty bits left, but just as much chance there won't. That's our transfer strategy in a nutshell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 So at the talk in there was mention that Rafa had spoken to Mourinho earlier in the day ... Now this morning Richard Keys has hypothesised about Martial joining us. Apparently Mourinho is not happy with Chelsea loaning out so many players to other prem teams, as these players improve these teams and make life more difficult for Chelsea's rivals, but cannot feature against Chelsea. Therefore he is looking to do the same to Chelsea, and Martial is potentially going to be joining us in this scenario. Apparently Mourinho doesn't fancy him at all, but knows they cannot get anywhere near the money they spent on him back, as things stand. Absolutely love Anthony Martial man. Front three of Martial, Gayle and Ritchie. Oh yes. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/833971/Chelsea-Manchester-United-Newcastle-Anthony-Martial-Antonio-Conte-Jose-Mourinho-Keys :lol Martial isn't coming here man. A transfer made through spite, I like it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Can we talk about it enough until it is real I won't allow myself to believe we have any kind of chance on Martial..... *Would be a fantastic signing though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan might have been our number 1 at a push but the rest I don't think we should be scrapping about for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John P Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 As Rafa alluded to though, when you go from Championship to Premier League, you need far more signings than teams who were in the league the previous season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Yeah we needed like 9 new players and we have 5 of them, it's still nowhere near enough and i doubt many other clubs needed anywhere near that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Honestly feel like our transfer activity last summer was more exciting than this has been. It probably was, I think we have a much stronger starting point now though. Mainly in terms for organisation and morale, but still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
louistoon Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Yeah we needed like 9 new players and we have 5 of them, it's still nowhere near enough and i doubt many other clubs needed anywhere near that much. Not completely disagreeing with you, but Burnley have sold their star player and bought no one decent, Stoke have sold Aranautavic and barely bought anyone. I'm pretty sure even without signings our first XI is better than Burnley without Keane. If we can get three more good quality players we're in a good position. Brighton have basically replaced Stockdale and that's it. Huddlesfield have bought a couple of players but the only one I would have is Mounie, or Ince as backup and i'll reserve judgement on Mounie until/if we get a striker.

It's what's required tbh, obviously realistic with Ashley is another matter entirely. With that said i'm not sure what paper said it but it was reported yesterday Rafa wants 4 more players. We'll see if he gets them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
