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

That the club is being run as a self sustainable business apparently so we can’t afford to be doing favours at the expense of ourselves?

By the logic above we should be giving out free season tickets for long standing supporters and not raising ticket prices etc

Coady has been a great guy and a great leader, by all accounts he’s an all around great bloke but on the flip side he’s been rewarded handsomely by the club being given a bumper new contract a few years ago, we’ve given him the showcase and built a system which has helped get him into the England side in the first place.

You could argue that given his new found national exposure and reputation of an all round decent guy. A situation where you have an unhappy Conor Coady at our club could look bad on us.
We already have a job trying to sell the "project"
We paid 2 million for him, he's done a fantastic job and now he's gone with minimal fuss.

You’re asking whether I like a man up a tree sneaking photos of potential signings, or not??!

For me go all out for Nunes, I nw it's difficult but the we might get lucky if nobody else has him...the lad is on 8k a week in Portugal.....

Either Nunes and a cheap centre forward or Ramos and Nico Gonzalez on loan.....I would be prepared to lose Gibbs for either scenerio....

Or keep Gibbs , loan Nico Gonzalez, loan batshuayi or similar....

If there is any chance we can still get Nunes, the club needs to go all out for him. He'd be a perfect fit for this team. If we were to sign only one player to finish this window, it should be him. We have some sort of cover for Jimenez in Guedes/Hwang, but we only have three senior central midfielders, given Bruno clearly doesn't trust Cundle or Ronan at this level, and rightly so. Put a more mobile, ball-winning, carrier of the ball next to Neves and we're cooking.

So if Neves goes next year with an option to buy as he deserves champions league football are we all feeling the same?
 
Benfica play tonight in the Champions league qualification - let’s see if Ramos or Rafa Silva are there.
 
I'd rather a more proven CM option anyway.

As above, I think it's the most important signing we'll make now.

I'm not even sure it has to be a runner anymore. I think we needed someone who could break forward last season because we were so boring and a central midfielder who could give us this attacking threat was required.

Now, I think a front four of Guedes, Podence, Neto and Jimenez creates a lot of chances, has many different qualities and I hope that scoring goals won't be a problem.

I'd be more worried about the other way.

I'd go for a physical player who can win the ball back and do the dirty side of the game that those front four maybe won't. Yes, Palhinha would've been perfect IMO. Someone of that ilk anyway.

We need to make sure we aren't a soft touch.

Quite funny how, IMO, we will have gone full circle from the team last season.

That would quite clearly be a very different situation, unless we make a switch to use a formation that doesn't include a centre midfielder!

Even then, I'd want to know how big the loan fee is, before throwing a strop about it.

Can see Raul eventually playing second fiddle to Guedes. If Nunes is holding out for one of the Top 6, he may be surprised. ManU would be a good fit, but they seem to have lost their marbles & have no sense of direction (Heartbreaking aint it?).

I agree we have more pressing issues which is why I'd only look for a cheap option.

The point with Dawson and Burn - and Ryan Bennett for us, is that these types of players are out there for cheap. I wasn't saying sign those two, just someone of that ilk.

Not world beaters, but when needed as backup due to injuries (or to rest first teamers for cup matches instead of flogging them into the ground), will do a better job then the Under 23s. And to pre-empt the "but that will block the young players progress" - we can send them all out on loan for real first team football. Something we can't do now as we are so low in numbers. The likes of Bueno, Campbell are too good for Under 23 football , yet not ready for Premier League. Something like Championship or the Fabio loan ideal.

So yes, having someone like those you name would be beneficial in many ways.

I agree, but also I think quite a bit depends on if we plan to mostly play 433 or 4231, if the latter then a new midfielder isn’t so important? In fact keeping mgw might be seen as more beneficial.

I don’t know enough about Nunes to say if he’d be ideal or not but from comments on here he sounds like quite an attacking player, I’d be surprised to see him in a midfield 2 with 4 players ahead of him. In a 433 he sounds ideal to replace Donk and/or rotate with Moutinho.

Actually , I have absolutely no issue with Neves going to get champions league or europa football next year. I would have loved it if he had got it here last season when , lets be perfectly honest , we were best placed to achieve it in February. The club will look at the deals and what does or does not make business sense. I get ****y when they spout nonsense about FFP or a need to sell to buy which , lets be honest is all smoke and mirrors skullduggery once the annual accounts are published.

If Neves stays this year I hope we have a great season finish top half, win a cup and qualify for europe as well as bringing 3 or 4 new players in over the next 4 weeks ( 2 this window two Jan) to 9 months that mean we have a squad that can actually challenge for that 7th spot or higher. I think then it would give us a stronger hand to convince him to stay. He is happy , his family is settled. Its not like he is itching to go. But if we did all that and he still said I want to go and win things whop the hell could blame him?

Neves has unquestionable quality, he's without a doubt one of Jeff's crown Jewels and we'd be selling him to the sort of club that won't be arguing about obligations. They would just buy him.

Indeed. Whoever Neves joins is unlikely to feel the need for a get out clause in the event of relegation!

We're re-signing Michael Mancienne? I wouldn't give Burton more than £35m inc. add-ons.

Michael Moore I heard. That big, fat bloke who makes the docu-films. 68 and overweight, but probably more mobile than Leander. What?

Well what do you expect, he'd 'like to think that we are a club that likes to think that we would like to think we do things the right way' :|

Can he play in a pivot 2? I’m really trying to figure out how Lage wants to set up this season. Guedes makes me think 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1, not the 4-3-3

Romano simply said Valencia had “asked” for Nico. That is a lot different from him going there. Hopefully Mendes can work his magic for us. We

So are you saying Coady should have been able to dictate our formation?

Yes Bruno changing formation has led to CC leaving, but that's not forcing him out, he could have quite easily stayed and fought for his place.

I didnt suggest that
 
Any new information of the second signing from yesterday (or if it’s true)? I’ve heard it was Maxi Gomez, but has that picked up at all?
 
Looks like Traore from Sassuolo is out til September with a fractured foot - will that impact a summer move?
