Summer 2017 Transfer Speculation

Vorselaarhammer

Looks Like Lukaku is certainly off, which can have a knock on effect for us and other clubs below Everton....

I am wondering that it may end up being Man Utd...

Bazshuayi

He'll go to Chelsea and Bats will come to us ;whistle

Another name for the list of strikers we are linked to

Yeoldhammer

Heard rumours we have put a bid in for Modeste.

Not richest, most valuable. Apparently we've increased in value by 17% since last year although 11% of that value is debt.

The rumour I heard is that we have put in a modest bid for a striker.

Can't say I'm that convinced myself...

Hang on, I'll see if I can find me boots.

The Hammers are also interested in Michy Batshuayi (Chelsea), Christian Benteke (Crystal Palace) and Alassane Plea (Nice).

Bazshuayi

It doesn't actually say why we've suddenly gone to 'pole' for Onyekuru unless I made a mistake and missed a paragraph ;hmm

I was one of the sources Baz... ;whistle

Bazshuayi

I was just saying that Sky do not mention any reason why (as he was Arsenal bound not too long ago), not about sources or even sauces for that matter.

#mmmm sauces

Supposedly we've had offers for Valencia from abroad. Hopefully we'll get rid of him permanently this summer.

£52.5m release clause. Did they put the decimal point in the wrong place?

I wonder how much of that value is due to the London Stadium?

MrsGrey

So City sign another GK. After Bravo for around £15m, last summer, they have now spent a reported £35m (thirty five million of your British pounds) on Ederson.

That's £50m on keepers alone. ;nonono

If football manager has taught me anything, Portuguese clubs have been putting crazy minimum fee release clauses on players for a 15+ years. Not sure why they put them so high.

Run for profit, Porto especially.

It's also being reported that Costa is no longer required at Chelsea. Not saying we should go for him, but it could mean that Bats is less likely to leave ;hmm

That said, SSN did report yesterday that he wasn't prepared to spend next season on the bench with the 2018 World Cup on the horizon, so it does sound like he may be pushing for a move, particularly if Lukaku re-joins.

Lukerz

Apparently Rangers have expressed at interest in Batshuayi.

;lol

;lol

If that is right then i would like to express my interest in Michelle Keegan ;ok

Bazshuayi

I've been in USA too long and dont know who Michelle Keegan is ;puzzled

However, after a nostalgic YouTube visit to the 80s, Olivia Newton John is the one that I want! I mean I'm expressing an interest in....

Another one to add to the growing list of strikers we are linked to ;lol

MrsGrey

If it carries on like this, it might be easier to have a list of those we aren't linked to....
