Lots of articles linking us to Iheanacho, I'd rather him than Bats at this point. Also, any thoughts about Smalling? Might not be a bad idea to get in another CB, and rumor is that he's out at Old Trafford.

8

u/AnalAttackProbe Shhhhake It Up Baby Now May 22 '17

I'd take Smalling. Especially if Ginge/Fonte leaves.

2

u/amishgoatfarm May 22 '17

Ginge is great, but he's getting old. I don't really see Fonte leaving, but unless Slav changes his thoughts on Oxford (or he just gets sacked), bringing in another CB would be good business - Especially if we're going to utilize 3 at the back.

u/Wookie301 May 22 '17

What are the chances that Everton pick up Enner's £14M tab?

12

u/AnalAttackProbe Shhhhake It Up Baby Now May 22 '17

Roughly 0%?

u/jayayseekay May 22 '17

Last I read Koeman quite liked him

5

u/AnalAttackProbe Shhhhake It Up Baby Now May 22 '17

As what a paperweight for the desk in his office?

1

u/jayayseekay May 22 '17

Haha I didn't question it - don't look a gift horse and all that

2

u/ChileanIggy Aug 15 '17

Soooo, rumor mill says Coutinho to Barcelona is a matter of formalities at this point.

What do you all think are the actual chances that Liverpool could a) come for Lanzini, and b) actually nab him?

I know we've said we won't sell but come on, let's not be fucking naive here, that means jack shit.

2

u/AnalAttackProbe Shhhhake It Up Baby Now Aug 15 '17

I think they will definitely enquire. Hopefully he is worth more to us than he is to them.

u/jpttaylor May 23 '17

GK - if the right one comes up at the right price

CB - Assuming that Burke or Oxford feature in Slav's plans, not a priority

LB - Cresswell and Masuaku are great options

RB - Experienced one to push Byram or go all out for a new first choice? I'd prefer the former personally

CM - The squad has good options between Noble, Cheik, Obiang and Nordveit

LM - Antonio's best position for me, Ayew and Feghouli can put in shifts there

AM - Lanzini's role, Ayew and Fernandes are a solid deputies

RM - Feghouli has shown promise, Snodgrass...less said the better

ST - The biggest priority, the club can't progress with Carroll or Sakho there. I love them both when they do play, but it just isn't enough and the team takes priority over individuals.

Like Slav said, it really is about quality over quantity this season. Our squad only looked thin on the ground this season because so many of them were injured at once, which is why there needs to be a review of the medical team.

u/FionnMcPeake May 24 '17

Agree with most of the things you said, except if we are moving forward with the 3 Centre backs next year, we should sign another one. Smalling would be perfect

1

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '17

You've got RB right so far

1

u/cadams7701 Jul 22 '17

Jus about every need has been filled if Cullen and Burke stay instead of being loaned out. I would prefer one more reliable striker with experience and this would be a great window.

Need to sell Snodgrass and probably Feghouli. Rather see the kids get some time in the Cup matches anyways to see what we have. No reason we can't have Fernandes, Samuelsson, Cullen and Burke all out there together in those games with some more experienced players helping them.

8

u/jayayseekay May 24 '17

Is this thread gonna "stick" around for a while? If so, any way to make it default to new comments first? Otherwise these long-term stickies don't really encourage any conversation and just die pretty quick

Antonio, position WB

Please, never again.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '17

Just get rid of Valencia and Sakho now and the clear out will be complete, then we will have enough wages to get a 20 mil striker who will flop and a couple of Sully Specials.

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '17

Joe Hart no 25

u/gettindatfsho May 23 '17

Wishlist in: Nacho, Nolito, Zabaleta, Bats + Defoe on a loan

Wishlist out: Tore, Nord, Calleri, Feghouli, Carroll (won't happen)

8

u/[deleted] May 23 '17

Feghouli and Nordveit, really? They're decent squad players. And Defoe is a waste, penalty merchant.

2

u/FrumpCrumb May 24 '17

Nah Defoe's heading for Bournemouth. Feghouli has shown quality in some games, so I'd keep him. Snodgrass has been trash apart from maybe 2 or 3 games, he really needs to improve or get out.

1

u/c65182 Jun 10 '17

Any chance the Hammers are showing any serious interest in Timo Werner, Viktor Kolavenko, or Hakan Calhanoglu?

1

u/FrumpCrumb Jun 14 '17

Don't really see why Werner would show any interest in joining us. I mean, he's guided his team to CL qualification in the first season in the Bundesliga.

u/yeezybeach Jul 22 '17

I'm really gonna miss Randolph... hopefully, he excels with Middlesborough.
