Now That's What I Call Transfer Rumours! 7

[Shadow Puppets]

I love your optimism, but we ain’t signing any of those players (apart from Pedro). It’ll be Pedro plus a loan I reckon (and I’d be fine with that)

[Kid Icarus]

Diaby and by a canny distance 

[HaydnNUFC]

Diaby followed closely by Maddison. Maddison is guaranteed PL goals and assists but a better quality RW and we would've beaten Man City on Sunday.

How is Almiron responsible? Two goals where Willock was asleep.

[gazza ladra]

1. Diaby 

2. Paqueta 

3. Maddison 

4. Pulisic 

5. Harrison 

6. Isak

 

for me. 

[Jaqen]

Maddison, Paqueta then Diaby. Not convinced by Diaby as a 50+m player as much as the other two and they offer more versatility.

Well mainly because he isn't good enough in general but also because of the chance he skied in the 1st half that should be getting buried at this level. 

 

And Longstaff should probably have started, no coincidence that Man City's chance creation was restricted when comparing when Longstaff was on the pitch as opposed to Willock.

If he'd skied it at 3-1 you'd have a point.

Well the point is that he just isn't good enough and our lack of quality in RW will cost us points over a season and more than likely did on Sunday.

Paqueta will happen. We’re waiting because they are desperate for the cash to balance their books. It has to happen before the deadline for them, summer too late. They will accept a lower fee and we’ll have our primary target.

 

I suspect the Maddison move was all a ruse to raise doubt. LP has been a primary target all summer.

Transfer Deadline Day may actually be exciting this summer! I'm all in for it, can't wait. I'm half expecting something outrageous and half expecting absolutely nothing. 

[timeEd32]

This place will melt down if Paqueta is signed on deadline day. 

[Stottie]

Sorry not a rumour, but I wonder if our people have reassessed or recalibrated their aims or how much the budget should be given how the transfer market has been going. There are lots of crazy-sounding fees out there. What may be thought of as a "Saudi tax" is probably just the new normal.

 

I thought Gordon looked useful against us and in the Liverpool derby, but 70M for him is very very high. Perhaps Grealish, Ben White, and Harry Maguire were just signs of what was to come.

Very well good be. Finances in the Premier League do not resemble anywhere else in the world from what I can tell.

The city will meltdown. There will be scenes at St James's I've no doubt about that. Brazilian flags all over the place.

[Hanshithispantz]

Paqueta, always Paqueta.

 

Would prefer Harrison over Diaby, but then I haven’t seen much of the latter.

[Nine]

I’d take the players that are PL proven with good numbers over 90% of the foreign imports we have been linked with.

Forgot about Harrison maybe not as exciting, but he would just fit Howe and this team down to the ground. I think we’ll make a 30+ million signing before the deadline on top of Pedro. 

 

As Keegan used to preach the best time to strengthen is when things are going well. 

[buzza]

I think what we need most is the benfica tsriker we were linked with, he can play across the front line and has goals in him and is a feisty presser... Seems right up our street!

Paqueta would also be great. just hope he lives up to the hype we have all helped to accentuate...

[Scoot]

 

[Keegans Export]

The latest bit on The Athletic names Amadou Haidara as a target.

 

They say we want two signings but ideally three - versatile forward, winger and CM.

 

Even assuming one of those is a loan that's probably another £50m+ for the three which doesn't match the reports about our limited remaining budget and only having about £20m left for up-front payments.

8 and a half days left in the window 

 

if we manage to sign 3 players that’s 1 new player every 2.85 days (ish)

 

Could be a very exciting time.

 

Can’t wait to feel that New player Buzzzzzzzzzz⏰⏰⏰
