Summer 2017 Transfer Speculation

Bazshuayi

If he's good enough for the late, great Whitney Houston then he's good enough for us....

#N'Diaye will always love you#

I'd be very happy if we were able to secure Gironde & even more so if we got Hernandez too
#lookingforwardothenewseason ;biggrin

We are now signing regions of France. Bound to be 1 decent player there ;-)

MrsGrey

Well, Lukaku to Man Utd, so I guess our chances of getting Batshuayi have plummeted.

Bazshuayi

;weep

Sky Sports saying West Ham looking to hijack Stokes permanent move for Bruno Martins Indi who was on loan from Porto to Stoke.

Bazshuayi

;weep

MrsGrey

;hmm A CB? Does that sound right? I am tempted to think this article may have something in it. (They ascribe these reports to a mistranslation) http://sportwitness.co.uk/west-ham-keen-snatch-stoke-city-transfer-target-away-take-look/

Bazshuayi

He also played LB for the national side when younger. He's pretty experienced compared to his age

#wouldnt say no

Bazshuayi

Oh and another ;weep for Bats

Did not see that coming.

Ok, so Bats is almost certainly out of the equation then.

Yeoldhammer

75m for Evertons best player
25m for West Hams best player in the Jan window

Granted a lot of different factors on why Payet was sold at a lower price. But its pretty damn bad reading lol.

Burke will go on loan, I'm sure. Fonte and Collins have a combined age of about 90 so may not be the most reliable, fitness-wise. And both Reid and Oggy have had their injury problems, so I can see us going in for another CB.

But not until we've got our striker situation sorted.

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...

ITK ;whistle

Whitehorsehammer

Baracks - NO

Vorselaarhammer

Good news...

Is he starter? Do we fit in him in with MN and CK or is it 1 from the 3 to be on the bench.

I've thought on occasions it would be good to give CK a bit of a free role, let him terrorise whoever he sees fit during a game because his got the best engine.

MN PO
CK
RW ST LW

Something like that.

Payet was 29 when we sold him, Lukaku is 24. Barring injury or loss of form he's going to be Man U's first choice striker into the 2020s.

Plus Lukaku has been among the top Premier League strikers for the last five seasons, Payet was only here for a season and a bit.

Both are 33. Are you Diane Abbott?

Hammerex

I think we need 4 new defenders, 4 new midfielders, and two new strikers
and perhaps a new goalkeeper.

MrsGrey

Well, then, you'll be disappointed in our summer transfer business, I'll wager!

Only if you think he doesn't make everything up ;whistle

MrsGrey

I note that article also claims Giroud has given us the brush off.

OldCastleSwift

Something doesn't feel right about this. If it's true, then the board have basically agreed a deal with City and Iheanacho without consulting the manager. The same manager that has said that he and the board are always talking about transfer targets.

Can't see it myself.

Which means C&H is just stirring the proverbial to turn people against the manager ;hmm

Yeoldhammer

Running out of options if true

Was it ever on though? If the terms of the deal were as reported we are quite right to give it a wide berth - basically a loan with all the downside risk falling on us
