The Final Day - Transfer Discussion Thread

Do you think we could get that Foyth in as part of a deal? Looks a great player.

God no. Glad he is doing well there but wasn't suited for us.

 

[DodgyLasagne]

I can't be the only one who feels a little shite about the fact that we've binned two of our 3 most expensive signings ever today, in cut-price loan deals...

Tanguy Ndombele in Lyon, it's signed! Loan with purchase option for the French who returns to OL #Mercato #RMCLive

Honestly, this is such a relief

 

[MightyModric]

It's about time we started to get some announcements, come on!

No, it didn’t work out and them leaving was for the best

TN's price is the same as what we paid for him - so not sure where you're coming from on this point

Perhaps it shows that spending mega bucks isn't always the way to go...

You are the only one.

Reliable for Merseyside football...

 

[arunspurs]

I am really delighted finally in a window we are moving our deadwoods
Only way we are getting new players in is by pushing players out.

Even if we don't bring any more players in this window, this bodes well for summer.

You should feel good about getting them off the wage bill. Glass half full and all that.

 

[carpediem991]

Still no deal confirmed by our site?

Our media team will have a busy evening it feels.

Dele, Ndombele and Lo Celso out would be decent business, feels like with Gil also on the way we would need one more player than just Betancur and Kulu. And if it is only a half year loan to test someone.

I have to say I'm really happy that he's specifically gone to Villarreal because I really want Pau Torres to replace Davies and based on the noises of the summer, the club do too and we'll be in an excellent position to figure out a compromise on Lo Celso one way and Torres another come the summer which help offset some costs.

 

[wiggo24]

Fabrizio saying Dele to Everton is progressing and looks like it might happen.

Romero, Dier and Torres would be a tidy back 3. Yes, Dier...

I’m glad we had that awful europa league game so conte could see what a few of our players were about early on

 

[DodgyLasagne]

It's less about their wages now, moreso the confirmation that Antonio Conte doesn't rate 100m+ worth of midfielder and that we bought two absolute duds. We've all known this for a while, but it's sinking in now and it feels, in a word, awful.

 

[mark87]

He's watching Romano's twitch stream is my guess.

To make you feel better Barca spent a combined £240m on Coutinho and Dembele. A few years on and Coutinho is at Aston Villa and they’re literally begging clubs to take Dembele off their hands.

As Dave says above, perhaps spending mega bucks isn’t always the way to go. It may not turn out this way but I think the Kulu and Betancur signings will be shrewd ones.
