The happy days are here again, hopefully no more repeated arguments, transfer thread

[Loojay]

Ramos or Belotti over Gomez please

 

[wolfgar]

Yes ...

Good player. Seen a few links some time ago, but not seen him mentioned much recently

 

[stever]

Also, my contact has told me that Ruben doesn't actually want to leave.

Ramos or Belotti over Gomez please

Which Gomez are we on about here?

 

[Tojo the grass]

Have we still got a special relationship with Jorge Mendes? The only thing he seems to have done in the last twelve months is try and get a move for Adama; has he made any significant contribution since Nuno left?
I know it is not something that we are entitled to, but it is something that we definitely had.

[T-dot-wolves]

If you were Patrick Cutrone, surely you’d be knocking on Bruno’s door saying “you know, I think I’ll work my nuts off up top for you. Forgive me please”

Wouldn’t you??

 

[wolfgar]

Which Gomez are we on about here?

Maxi, the Uruguayan from Valencia. Has been linked in the past. Was really good at Celta Vigo. West Ham offered £40 million or so for him a few years back

Maxi Gomez

A striker plus a Neves new contract announcement would be the (Steve) cherry on top of the icing on top of a delicious cake of a transfer window.

 

[Wolf 82]

So, in the midst of all this euphoria:

who are the potential candidates for the central striker signing?

Ajorque
Batshuayi
Ramos

???

Well the one ITK person, who hinted at Guedes and Nunes.. said the striker hinged around a German club.. which makes me think Silva??

Silva does seem to have more of the fox-in-the-box about him.. which I think we need

Better than I ever expected and I clap happier than the happiest clappers

If I were a betting man, I'd say a loan to buy for Silva. But then again I'd have already lost loads of money betting against us signing Nunes and Guedes

A friend of mine (has connections at West Ham) sent me a text a couple of weeks ago saying he’d heard we were in for Gomez.

Tried to subtly put it in this thread.

Would think he is more of a fallback option in case other deals (Ramos, Silva, Ajorque) don’t come off.

 

[Wolf316]

Ok hear me out... Ronaldo wants out of Man Utd and he doesn't have many suitors right now. Stick the best player in the history of the game upfront Jeff.

Think Messi is happy at PSG.

 

[wolfgar]

Anyone else think we might bring in another defender? Perhaps someone that can cover CB and full back, perhaps allowing someone like Mosquera out on loan? We were linked with Potsch a few weeks back and Akanji was mentioned on twitter, albeit very tenuously

Ronaldinho has retired

He was a bit of a monster at Celta, but has like a 1 in 4 record at Valencia. I think you're probably right

Not sure on cb but think a full back might come in

 

[dennison11]

I honestly think the new ST will be a loan to buy. With Fabio coming back next season, the new guy will either be bought and will be up to him and Fabio for the No. 9 spot. Raul, I think, will leave and go to the States

 

[colincameron]

Also, my contact has told me that Ruben doesn't actually want to leave.

If we match his ambition he will spend his entire career here, no doubt about it. To think he’s been here what 5/6 years already, he’s a true true legend of the club in the making. Now our captain. I can see him retiring here, can you imagine how emotional a 37 year old Neves’ testimonial would be!!!

 

[DIS1970]

No it was 12 seconds, but time flies when your actually listening to something good

It's Sky, they just do not like this Great Football Club, never have.

I’d still take Batman on loan with option- but have a feeling it will be bigger now, I have a feeling it will be Ben Yedder on a moutinho type deal from Monaco the way things are shaping up with Jorge atm.

Think he offers something different to Raul, the likes of Andre Silva likely too similar. Raul still a main man here, we walk alternatives not like for like. Ben Y and Raul could play together as a two…

What a ****ing hero

 

[Supadavewolf]

What a ****ing hero

Yup, assuming he does stay then that's a hell of a statement.

Imagine it will be a CB who comfortably play LB too to provide FB cover for RAN, coupled with Jonnys ability to play both sides. Someone ala Jan Vertonghen

 

[Bradstonian]

I suppose we could borrow Cristiano Ronaldo from Man Utd as a temporary measure, just as a stand-in until we get an effective replacement. Offer to pay some of his wages too, to sweeten the deal.

 

[Sevenwolves]

Started the close season expecting Ruben to go. Now (hopefully) looking at a midfield of him and Nunes. The hope is well and truly back (which I admit I hadn’t expected).

 

[Chriswwfc]

I think this may happen also. It makes sense.

Think it’ll be the last chance of us getting a decent sum for him and we’ll sell whilst he’s starting to decline.

 

[MontyR]

If Ronaldo can get that dire squad to the Europea league then he can get us a top 4 finish lol.

 

[geowolf]

Well my preference is still Brereton-Diaz. Helped by the fact that he scored and assisted against West Brom on Sunday.

Love him or loathe him for becoming a goalhanger, this player would score goals anywhere.

He won't come here, although he could be part of the carousel that brought Nunes from Sporting and he could be going back there.

What a summer this could be.

 

[Skrilla]

The same guy who leaked that Nunes would sign on the 15th if nobody else came in for him is going to give us some news on striker targets it seems...

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

Portuguese expert on SSN talking about Nunes has casually dropped out we've already had a bid in for Ramos and Lage has spoken to him already.

Southampton also interested in Ramos too.

At least this ones coming out early enough that it doesn't stop me from sleeping lol

[Supadavewolf]

Hate to say it but the Geordies are supposed to be favourites, putting together a £30m or so bid to buy Ramos.
