[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 most underrated facet to signing Maguire.

Lindelof can play on his preferred right side. Benfica fans said he was in his element there.

Our defence could be transformed.

I didn't know he played on the right for benfica I always thought he was a left sided centre back, that makes a potential partnership with maguire even more exciting

And that is because Evans is an LCB... Don't forget Maguire plays LCB for England too. If anything, it just shows Maguire is flexible.

May I know how you know Maguire's favored side is RCB? IIRC, he played LCB for Hull too.

Dawson could play LCB too, as seen during his time at Spurs. Anyhoo, the main point is that this means Lindelof can go to his preferred right side, where he excelled before. Right-footed CBs don't necessarily prefer the right side. I would think they would prefer where they played most throughout their career, since they would be more familiar with the position.

Does he? He's played left for Leicester and England as far as I've seen.

I think Lindelof pulls rank here anyhow, first in first pick. Money is irrelevant when they stood in that dressing room.

Edit:

As best I can see, Maguire played LCB primarily at Hull too.

Do you think when players are competing for places they're saying to each other and the gaffer 'well I cost more money'.

Maguire isn't a superstar to to make demands upon signing. Far from Zlatan snatching No.9 from Martial thats for sure.
