Summer Transfer Speculation (its just two months away)

BubblesNeverDies

With a knee like that I'd rather have Sister Boniface

A new CB appears in the mix. Bright Arrey-Mbi, 23 year old who plays for Braga in Portugal. Left footed and also plays as a left back. Born in Cameroon, but grew up in Germany, move to England at 11, moved back to Germany at 16, and is eligible to play for all three.

steve

Rather he just played for us

alderz

Apparently Lewis Orford is going to Stevenage on loan. I'm surprised he's going as low as League One, tbh.

IronHerb

Probably more chance of game time.

claretandbluesky

That's a decent amount for Aguerd in my view, there does seem a decent footballer in there but clearly not a fit for us or the Premier league for whatever reason.

IronHerb

And we make a profit as his book value is £12m.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Villa agree a loan with obligation for Harvey Elliott for £35mil

Fulham have gone for a last minute £22mil for George at Chelsea

Shame, 2 players I'd have loved fir us to go for they'll be worth double that this time next year imo

However with Paqueta staying and Summerville back I can see why we haven't tried

jay_in_cpt

Emerson has left, good luck to him, a decent player who always IMO gave it his all.....https://www.whufc.com/news/emerson-departs

Liverpool will be very hard to beat after their business today, although I think Isak is over priced he will undoubtedly be an asset and Palace should have held onto Guehi as he was in many ways more important than Eze, he will make Liverpool stronger as well.

claretandbluesky

So, the latest is that Marc Guehi's proposed move to Liverpool will continue despite Igor Thiago opting for West Ham instead of Crystal Palace.

Oliver Glasner's side are looking at alternative centre backs.

From the BBC

thornburyiron

Thiago isn’t a centre back

BubblesNeverDies

He's listed as a left back and centre back on Wiki.

thornburyiron

He’s listed as a striker for Brentford.

claretandbluesky

Well Someone should tell Palace as apparently now they are refusing to sell to Liverpool as Igor won't be his replacement.

thornburyiron

The centre back is Igor Julio.

epsom_bubbles

I was panicking for a moment as it approached 7pm, only to remember that here in Italy we are an hour ahead. Another hour of checking the forum

IronHerb

Apparently Igor Julio is on his way for a medical.

steve

Our medical staff will have to pull there finger out for once

IronHerb

Nah. You can send a Deal Sheet through which allows deals to go through late.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Bit disappointed after the positivity of the Forest game and the sale of Aguerd for a good fee that we didn't go for Cresswell and are settling for Igor who's never really shone in the Prem

Feels a bit flat

Lukerz

True but what I would say, Palace have a very good recent recruitment record - Eze, Henderson, Munoz, Sarr, Olise, Mateta, Wharton.

If they were interested, I’d bet he’s got something about him.

steve

We get to keep Paqueta .What more could we ask for

MrsGrey

Haven't really been following TDD shenanigans. (We miss Rav's thread!)

But it seems like it has been quite lively/dramatic/exciting....

Not quite as good as the Odenwingie days, but still - what is?!

thornburyiron

All deals must be completed by 9pm (2 hours after window closes) but clubs can announce them whenever they want to.

steve

So about two weeks then in our case

IronHerb

Ex confirming Igor deal.

buffybegood

Igor confirmed on OS:

alderz

I know nothing about this guy, but Aguerd was a huge disappointment at the start of the season, so getting money in for him and a loan replacement is fine by me.

Lukerz

He can’t be any worse than Aguerd; good deal
