The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.

[Bubbles Fortuna]

Soucek Rice Gallagher would be a pretty great midfield three and would allow Bowen Antonio Depay to cause havoc further up.

[Believer]

If it's at all possible, and if Chelsea are willing to sell, I think Conor Gallagher would be an outstanding signing. I'd rather have him than Phillips. He works hard, puts a defensive shift in, and is great going forward. If we wanted a solid 3 man midfield but without it being too overly defensive, I think he'd be perfect.

I doubt Chelsea will let him go as he is now on the brink of the England squad and has a lot of good press this season.

However, I’m siding with Ironing Board here when I say that I could see us signing Billy Gilmour. It’s just not worked out for him at Norwich (bad club choice) and I could see maybe a loan to buy deal.

Great little player who I think would flourish around better players..

Everton and Newcastle also supposedly after Memphis Depay. Agent looking for a pay day?

This is way

I’ve been thinking this most of the season would be a great signing

[Wilko1304]

I'd still rather take a bowling ball to the nuts from Al Snow during the Attitude Era than us sign Broja.

What does everybody want?

[Albie Beck]

Am I the only one thinking, who the f... is Baz Cooper?

Nope - I was a bit reluctant to ask, bubbs...

[S-H]

I'm Baz Cooper.

Would love Gallagher, great balance with Rice and Soucek……but would be very nervous any conversation becomes Gallagher and Broja plus a few quid for Rice.

Gonna really enjoy the Wagifa Christie trial

[Beavis Danzig]

baz cooper is the universe's organic manifestation of the collective hopes and fears that these threads have developed over the years. he is all of us and he is no one.

If there was someone I actually wanted to take from Chelsea right now, with them reportedly looking to add attacking players (Lewandowski linked) is Timo Werner. I think he's unfairly maligned by Chelsea fans, and actually offers a lot more than some seem to think. He's really good at dropping a bit deeper and creating, as well, and I think if he were in the team we'd see him much more like he was at Leipzig.

GET THE TABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and


KNOW YOUR ROLE JABRONES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hammer_Time1]

When was the last time we had a double barrelled player?

Anyone forgetting Armstrong Oko-Flex? Albeit he never plays..

[Wilko1304]

I think Werner is fantastic and will move on and click into gear again.

[D C]

Logically Gallagher would just replace Saul in the Chelsea squad and would jump ahead of Ruben* and Barkley. Obviously Chelsea don’t usually do the logical thing though. I think he’d cost too much though

*Hoping this catches on and annoys people as much as ‘Trent’

Do you think he could play centrally in Antonio’s position? I’ve not really watched him much there to have an opinion

Last summer I semi-seriously suggested that if we were so inclined we could do a lot worse than simply doing our entire summer recruitment as a job lot from West Brom’s squad list and then heading off to the beach until the start of the season.

That suggestion is holding up pretty well I think.

Gallagher, Pereira, Maitland-Niles, Karlan Grant, Johnstone etc would probably have got far more minutes for us this season that what we ended up with.

I think that would require a lot of money. Gallagher ticks a lot of boxes in terms of 'taxes' and 'surcharges', and using Guehi as a benchmark the bidding starts at a minimum of £25 Million, with subsequent add ons which will price him highly.

I'd rather pay big money for him than Phillips. He's still only 22 and has a big future imo.

Don't get me wrong, I want him! He ticks a lot of boxes from our point of view, and like Zouma, you will need to pay for him. He has a very bright future.
