Out Tomkins £10mil JOB free song/moses/Emenike loan end
Sakho about to leave for £16mil, Calleri surely has got to be close now and Ayew is currently our #1 target
What we still need is 2 fullbacks for both flanks and still another natural centre forward even if calleri and Ayew come in
Still see we are linked with the Juventus lad Perreya (spelling). Think he'd be a good move as he's a very good player, but their is literally no room with him as attacking midfield is pretty complete if we complete the Ayew move
Really can't see bacca coming, surely that move has set sail
Also can't see us stumping up the £32+mil Liverpool want for Benteke either
Would prefer Olsson to Robertson, really dont think Robertson is all that he got potential but defensively he isn't very good imo and offensively it won't be as easy to maraude like he did in the championship. And that he'd cost about £15mil which could almost get you Hector who is Germany #1 LB and only 24
Champo, I rate Robertson highly, think he's a class act. £15m is steep for a LB though, having said that, I don't think it's too far off. £12m would be worth it.
He played in a front two a fair bit last season, so he CAN play in either position. He scores a lot of goals that are 'strikers' goals (getting in the box and finishing). I think he would be a very good alternative to Carroll, he would also be a good as a striker partner, and would be good behind the striker too.
I'm not convinced about him as a lone striker, but I don't think Berahino is that either.
As a straight swap for Valencia, he is an upgrade in my opinion, imo, honestly.
Yeah, I want us to sign him, whether as a replacement for Valencia or not. He's a massive upgrade on Valencia. But we need a replacement for Sakho because we aren't likely to be playing two up front based on last season. I don't know if Berahino is a traditional lone striker but when I've seen him play the position he's worked hard to pressure defences and I think he'd have more of a striker's instinct.
So yeah, sign Ayew to replace Valencia but we need someone to replace Sakho and someone who's probably going to be a lone striker a lot of the time when Carroll gets injured.
Problem we have is that any left back we go after will, in all likelihood, know that they'll be out of the team in the new year. And the board know that too so I can't see them sanctioning a deal to buy what will essentially be a back up left back for £15m.
Olsson by the sounds of it will be cheaper and perhaps more prepared to be a Premier League back-up rather than a Championship back-up, which he arguably will be at Norwich.
that squad would be more than capable of competing in all 4 competitions... Though RB looks our weak spot, so if we have some change, we should aim for another one...
OCL - Bit insulting on our part, IMO. Olsson may not be the best full-back in the world (he may not be the best full-back in Norwich), but I think for a proven international, £3m is a bit of a cheap offer.
it just gets better everyday , is it worth sometimes asking the selling club these 2 simple questions -
1, is the player for sale yes/no
2, what is your realistic valuation . ( then negotiate )
send in realistic offer .
I fi remember rightly we sold Jarvis to them for a knock down price so perhaps they might come back with what they want rather than play silly beggars .
Jarvis was already on loan to them and only had 6 months of his West ham contract to run when they signed him in January. The (reported) fee was £2.5m, when they could have had him for nowt at the end of the season.
Olsson is also in the last year of his contract with Norwich.
I wonder if WHU hope the player will agitate for a move to the PL, thus adding to pressure on Norwich to sell at a reasonable price.
PS, nothing wrong (imo) with going in with a bid lower than you are prepared to pay - it's part of the negotiation process. Just like the selling club is likely to ask for a very high price.
only Fools and Horses springs to mind , we going down the market to get a bargin Rodney ( David gold ) Del Boy is played by ( David Sullivan ) Cassandra is played by (Karan Brady )
This time next year we'll be in the top 4 ;biggrin
The question is will the addition of Olsson make us stronger at left back than last season Yes So again it's improving squad He will be a decent back up for cressy

Would be happy with that, TBH. Still think we need cover at RB but if we go into the season proper with the following options I think we'll do well:
Adrian/Randy
Byram/Antonio ( potential weak spot ;hmm )
Cresswell/Olsson
Reid/Collins
Ogbonna/Burke or Oxford
Nordtveit/Obiang
Noble/Kouyate
Payet/Ayew
Lanzini/Samuelson
Feghouli/Tore
Carroll/Calleri
Bacca or Benteke/Fletcher
Also can't see us stumping up the £32+mil Liverpool want for Benteke either

I agree that £15m for cover at LB is not going to happen, but Olsson surely isn't the answer
But I don't rate Olsson at all...

Robertson
If we did something like that, I'd be pleased...

Seems a bit low for an international full-back with PL experience? ;hmm
