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.

Aye. It's why the whole 'other clubs haven't made many transfers' argument doesn't wash. We're in a different situation to other clubs. Was it ever realistic that we would sign nine players? 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...

I'd be incredibly surprised if we don't end up with at least 7 new faces not including the youth and Atsu. We already have 4 and there's a month left. We need to get rid of some players though.

ponsaelius Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Karnezis isn't bad. Would be a bit underwhelming though, but I guess our keeper signing has to be if we are really confident in Woodman long term. Udinese have both Alex Meret and Simone Scuffet on their books, two of the best young Italian keepers, so they will probably be willing to sell.

I'll be shocked if most of those clubs don't go mental in the final week as is seemingly tradition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Is he any good? Very good shot stopper and a bit mental. Comes off his line in a flash and covers angles well. Not sure how well he can organise a defence or about his distribution as I've only seen him for the national team a few times. Was captain at some point at Panathinaikos so must have a bit of a brain on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen enough of him in league football tbh. He definitely likes to come off his line so I would presume he's comfortable coming for crosses.

TK-421 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Much rather Pepe Reina tbh. Definitely. I would take Reina over any other keeper we can afford. Still think (hope) that once we can get rid of Krul and/or Darlow, we might move for Reina, if his situation is unchanged (i.e still at Napoli, and not signed new contract).

I wouldn't comment if I knew nothing about the player or the club - e.g. if he was a bottom half Bundesliga or Ligue 1 player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
