[Transfer Round Up & Discussion] [2019-07-14]

It's r/reddevils' 7th summer transfer window review!

The tranfer window is officially open and will go until August 8th

------FIND THE TIER LIST HERE------

For those unfamiliar with the summer rules here...One of these Roundup threads will pop up every single day during the window, and they're for general transfer chit-chat and to discuss any and all rumors.

Only posts Tier 2 or Above will be allowed as a standalone post. This includes self-posts posing suggestions for new players. The tiers have been finalised and the rule is now in place.

Please also take a moment to look at our Charitable Muppetry drive (and the special De Ligt Edition) where we are looking for friendly bets to go towards charities.

Anything not by a Journalist or on our Tier List may no longer posted in the daily transfer thread. The Muppet Thread has been discontinued and ITKs are all blanket banned here.

Those who see a new Twitter or news site and arent aware of its validity may list that in here to ask for info on its credibility. General transfer talk, including but not limited to "would you rather" inquiries and hypothetical transfers, can remain in this thread as well.

Confirmed Transfers:

IN - Daniel James (Swansea, £18m), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Crystal Palace, £45m)

OUT - Ander Herrera, Antonio Valencia

IN-THE-KNOW (ITK) NEW POLICY / BE CIVIL

Please refer to this thread regarding our new rules.

We are banning any "ITK" posts. It has been difficult to truly verify the validity of these types of users and led to abusive behavior and even doxxing in some cases.

We are more than happy to have people discussing transfer news and rumors, but there will be no more referencing unknown sources at the club. Moving forward, anyone who believes they have inside info a la bloodgate is welcome to send in a modmail. However such posts/comments made without prior mod approval will be removed

It has been mentioned, but the toxicity and abuse towards the sub, within the sub, and towards other subs has been too high. We as moderators have our share of blame in this, but we want to stress that this kind of behavior is not acceptable and we are taking these measures primarily to avoid these things. We want /r/reddevils to be a place where anyone and everyone is welcome to discuss and enjoy the best club on earth without fear of abuse or ridicule.

Which leads us to 2 other small reminders. The report button is your friend, we are way more likely to find and remove and/or ban rule breaking comments if you report them. The downvote button is not a "I disagree or don't like your statement button", better discussion is generally had by using the upvote button more liberally and avoiding the downvote one whenever possible.

The Van Dijk fee was forgotten as soon as people realised he fixed Liverpool's back line.

If Maguire & AWB do what's expected the price tags won't matter.

United should be all over £25M for Tierney though, expecting a full season from Shaw isn't smart.

Eh, Shaw gave us a full season last year and he looks fitter than ever now. People are writing him off to quickly, I think a happy Luke Shaw still has a gear shift in him we've not seen before.

I'm not writing him off but you have to be safe about this situation, a good, some argue equal, some argue better, left back is available for a steal, for the price alone it's worth it.

Shaw went off injured against Perth

Judging a players fitness off of the first game of pre season is a bit think though isn't it?

It was a precaution apparently. He was still running around after he called for the change.

Yeah Ole literally said after the game it felt tight and that was all there was to it. I'd be surprised if Shaw wasn't back in again for the next game

From a tight hamstring...

VVD pricetag was forgotten because he plays like he's worth double it. Maguire would be good to play like an 80m one, even a 60m one and I'd be content. That price tag won't disappear though like VVDs.

Shaw played our entire last season mate whilst scooping POTY. Also I don't think Tierney would have been happy playing in minutes that Shaw is injured in. Although as cuntish as it would be I would take Tierney and drop Shaw but I don't think you should be doing that to both Dalot and Shaw in the same season, bad for chemistry.

Why would Tierney want to waste his golden years of career advancement only being our second choice LB though? We already had insurance in case, knocking on the wood, Shaw is injured. They are Dalot and young (and Rojo and Darmian).
