Coffee_Johnny Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 29 days of the transfer window gone (feels like a thousand), 42 days left. Though only 23 days until we kick-off the season. Howay man, get cracking! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Adama Traore linked with Everton for £10m. If it meant we could get a striker in the same window I'd have taken a punt on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would certainly not be against signing him, adds something different to Fraser/Almiron on the RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 He's erratic as hell but he'd be entertaining. Would make teams think twice about setting their full-backs to attack us as well if you've got Maxi one side and Traore the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d look insane on the counter, he’d just need 4-5 chances to score one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 There’s a reason he’d be going to Everton. I’d rather see Fraser on the wing tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I'd hate Traore, not a fan of his type of player - someone you're not confident could trap the ball after a 5 yard pass. He wouldn't improve us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Can’t see Howe being interested in him at all. There’s a reason why he’s being linked with the likes of Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Media Foot are saying we have bid 28 million euros for Asensio. Real Madrid were originally after 35 million euros.

Ikon Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Dont believe it. The same paper that said we were interested in the first place said that he had decided to stay this season. Not sure about Media Foot. Don't see it and don't want him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the article mentions that he had decided to stay at Madrid his last season, and so if a bid is eventually accepted, we would need to convince him to join us now.

greydos Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 12 hours ago, KaKa said: Oh God ... poor Vurnon. As with every role in every sport, there's levels. At the lower end of the scale Anita, and at the higher end of the scale Rodri/Busquets. Here's a clip of the geezer we were linked with, Arthur Melo, that plays in that kind of style if it helps. Yes please!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 People on NO made me dislike Anita. He was a hard working player and tried his best - usually I don't give players stick who do that week in week out. But some acted like he could be Claude Makelele if not for Alan Pardew. Gave him so much grace with sub-par performance after another sub-par performance. Such a poor player. Anita & Colback midfield - absolutely awful. The Netherlands and Brazil have definitely sold the most garbage players around Europe. I think both Richarlison and Raphinha have been sold with a 20% Brazilian tax added to the bill.

Kanj Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Arthur Melo is class. I’d absolutely be fine with a signing of that kind of player. But @KaKa, you described the style of player in probably an overly boring and dumbed down away. I don’t consider Rodri or Busquets in this “play it simple” way like you described. Their game is far more technical, intelligent and nuanced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
