Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours - Summer 2018

Yeah I was talking about them to a mate the other day saying I think they might be strong this year.

 

That does not seem to fit in with our secret plan to make Eddie Howe our manager.

 

Think that ship sailed a long time ago sadly.

 

Stuck my neck out for 9th in the prediction thread. Their Swiss cheese defense remains a question mark, but they should improve there, and a relentless central mid like Lerna is a good buy given their love of pushing people forward, much as spending a club record fee on a DM in Wanyama seemed like an odd use of funds to some until seeing how much protection it granted our back four.

 

More than likely !

 

Looks like Ghezzal is going to Leicester for around £15m. I doubt we were really interested, but for some reason Leicester were, so we'll get to see who was right.

 

Wolves buy Traore for £18m. Boro use that to buy Long for £14m. We use that to put in the bank.

 

Early verdict: Monaco fans have rediscovered their love of Claude Puel.

Ok, so he is not a chèvre.

 

Just swapping Traore for Long would be a lot less paperwork all round.

 

I endorse this product and/or service.

 

13 goals in 113 Ligue 1 games. Sounds like Ghezzal would have fit right in.

 

Isn't that the price of their stadium doubled?

 

Why do players always get judged by how many goals they score?, he's not even a Striker, he might have created many, many chances in those games. Sounded like Puel was buying him more for his creativity.

 

How many Saints fans have different opinions about our players?, just because a few go on the forums saying that they are happy that he is going it doesn't mean that he was universally unpopular there.


I'm not saying that he is going to be the next Mahrez, because I know very little about him, but I would prefer to wait and see and make a judgement rather than stats and the words of others.

 

Ditto to that. Apart from the odd wee dram and pint.

 

He had an amazing season or two but has fallen out of form and favour. If they get him back to where he was we will be looking on enviously. However, Puels abillty to get the best out of attacking players is questionable.

 

Sure, opinions vary. However, I do differentiate between those who suddenly decide that a player is garbage because they're angling for their big move, and situations like Ghezzal, where the general agreement for about a year in that thread was that they'd need to loan him out or simply terminate his contract, only for Leicester to appear waving 15m.

Also...

 

A rumour of Callum Chambers to Fulham on loan is doing the rounds......

 

Wouldn't call a net spend of £ EIGHTY-FIVE MILLION 'small change'.
Seem to recall the "Marcus Liebherr Philosophy/ Project" when he saved (acquired) Saints was that the club should run on a self-financing basis with no debts. Proof of the pudding shown in that table; no?
