The 2016 summer transfer thread

[dodger]

Also..word in turkey is that a Tore deal is looking more unlikely following events in Istanbul and throughout Turkey, culminating In the Ataturk airport attack. Clubs unable to attract foriegn players to replace sales.
Besiktas announced this morning that a deal for Gomez is now unlikely for that reason.

They're more likely to keep players because their country is dangerous? Perhaps true of Turkish players but the foreigners will now want out and it will be difficult to stop them.

Coulda saved ourselves alot of trouble by signing Yilmaz in January instead of Emineke...

could have saved even more by signing lacazette for £22m in january.

Gomez is contracted to Fiorentina, the deal I was referring to is Besiktas attempt to sign him permanently

[claretandblue82]

Thanks Amsterdam most enlightening

I thought he was worth a bid but perhaps Janssen is the better option

Would Milik be a better option than Valencia?

Anyone else reading Milik as Milk? Would Milk be a better option than Valencia?

Keep Valencia then, great pace, cracking shot (when he manages to get one off), not sure what went wrong with him actually...on paper he's dangerous!

He needs to get on the weights.

Tough to answer that

Inevitability of both turning sour in the end

I remember people on here adamant that we should sign this marquee striker in Jan, not only to give us a good chance for getting top 4 but to avoid missing out/struggling to sign someone now.
I'm not in the panic camp as it is so early now, but how right were they? Lacazette in Jan would have been cheaper, already here & ready for pre season and us possibly in the champions league if he did well!

Apparently the mail think we've been offered Kovacic. If that's the case we should be all over that. Would be the second best player at the club.

My stepdaughter's fella thought Liverpool were in for him.

A season loan with an option would be great business imo

Andreas Beck

Anyone know if he is any good?

He was very good at Hoffenheim but that was a few years ago.

[cmoore4099]

€5m bid in for Andreas Beck according to Eurosport.

Is there a single Beşiktaş that we haven't been linked with?

[ohsnap]

'The Insider' has posted again. I find it all so embarissing.

I assume the young striker is the person Jinxed named who I have never heard of.

[DDHammer]

So basically:

Ashley Fletcher to join.

Mario Gomez is 1 of 10 striker targets we're interested in but a deal looks unlikely at the moment.

Will continue looking at other big name targets across Europe to get the best possible deal.

You can bag on about him until the cows come home. He'll never join us

[goose]

The decision to not invest in January will come back to bite us.

A top 8 finish is going to be very, very difficult next season isn't it.
