Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
I am not sure that is true, the FA rules are clear that a player can only be registered to one club at a time. What they do allow is a player whose contract is expiring to talk to other clubs in the last month so you can negotiate with them but that is very different to signing a contract.yakandyeti wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 3:54 pm They can sign for a new club in the same league in last month of their contract.
The rules involving international transfers are different as they are not governed by the FA.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
Soucek's limitations are the same as Kouyate's - very limited passer, ungainly in possession, not suited to a short, quick passing game, or acting as a ball-carrier....
His strengths are that he is good in the air and good at breaking up opposition play - tackles, interceptions, clearances etc . He chips in with some goals. Kouyate's same strengths back in the day. kouyate first two seasons scored 4 and 5. Last season Soucek got 5.
We have conceded more goals over the last two years than we did between 2014-2016 so there's some rose-tinting going on about 'tracking back' and such like, especially when we supposedly have the world's best DM playing every week.
The whole conversation about recruiting Phillips, Ward_Prowse etc arises from how poor we sometimes are with the ball - which was the justification for offloading Kouyate and is unmistakably levelled at Soucek in our midfield.
When Soucek does not play, we do not miss his passing - but we do miss the height in each penalty box more than anything else.
The choice for a third DM/CM is either we want a better all round player than Soucek who will offer more on the ball and something similar defensively or we take on someone similar who will at least offer the same strengths even if they share limitations in possession.
The budget obviously dictates what we go for.

That's a lot of words to say stop with the off topic **** you bunch of warts, isn't it?Wilko1304 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 3:16 pm There are certainly valid concerns to be had about a player, their views, representing the club.
But this thread would not appear to have the ability to discuss it with nuance (evidence: every page of every single one of these threads, every window, ever). Certainly not when it brings in some who seem to wait for these topics, and then appear fresh with "takes"
So, let's move on from the political and social issues. If there is a time when signing Kouyate or Sarr looks genuinely likely, I am sure we can come up with a thread for you.
Way too much diplomacy for my liking.
Anyway, we've not even been linked with him, so no need for all the Kouyate spiel. Use the bits and pieces thread and take it off 'ere.

Some say Rice is not a DM others just wish he played there because last season he did not.
Thing is the Kouyate of the first two seasons was very different indeed from the Kouyate of the last two when he should have been approaching his peak.
The initial Kouyate was a top player (thus the rumoured interest from Spurs etc), far more comparable to Soucek, the Kouyate of the last two was poor and if anything getting poorer.
I doubt at his age we are going to see a return to the former thus we should generally avoid.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
No money left? I wouldn't believe a word of it. The 3 Leeches have the money, it's whether they have the will or expertise to spend it.Puncher12 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 3:24 pm I don't think anyone disagrees but if you go and spend 40m on Danjuma and then 30m on Broja, we've no money left for a CM or LB which we also desperately need.
Everyone wants proper solutions but we also don't have a bottomless pit of money either and won't get much money for the deadweight we're trying to flog like Masuaku, Randolph etc.

Happy to be proved wrong, but has Pezza ever given even the slightest indication that he genuinely has inside knowledge?

He wouldn't be able to post stuff like he does if he didn't.
I'm fairly sure any and all ITKs get verified by the boss or their posts are removed. You can't just come on here and spew nonsense or it would we everywhere!

Don't care who the player is, if Sullivan wants him I don't
The manager knows best. The other part in it know f*** all about football

Richarlison 43 in 135
Jesus 38 in 120
DCL 40 in 121
Above are the player's respective Premier League goalscoring records since turning 21 (luckily they all did so within weeks of each other!).
Interesting that the first two are going for, depending on your media source, £45-55m this summer yet a lot of us thought something around £50m for DCL seemed excessive when there were rumours earlier in the summer.
Not necessarily suggesting he's the guy for us but just thought it was odd to have 3 such similar examples to look at to see where the market is these days.
