Summer 2021 transfer window

[Tony Towner]

That's... not an unreasonable observation, to be fair. I should be more mindful.

I am struggling to think of the last "big" striker to come from the Pro League and be successful, though.

You would have loved Cedric Roussel

His CV reads like the player equivalent of Walter Zenga!

Active player for 20 years, involved in 22 transfers/loans. Bonkers.

This was quite an interesting read.

Adli has come up on some analysis I've seen before (no idea where or what for though) and certainly fits our model of trying to sign players just before they really break out/value rockets up as Bordeaux probably need to sell someone/everyone given their financial situation.

Clickbait rubbish football insider links us with Mbaye Diagne. Er, yeah, I can see that

Sander Berge's release clause is rumoured to be at £12m (twitter) due to relegation.

Hasn't really stood out this season (but then who at Sheff Utd has) but I would probably take a look at that price.

 

[Deano]

Don't really see the need for a player like that. Probably a slightly better version of Dendoncker.

 

[Tredman]

My boss is a Sander - would be worth it just to call him a **** **** **** every now and again.

What kind of midfielder is he?

What kind of midfielder is he?

Box to box. Likes a goal but is coming off a severe injury and is probably no better than Donk.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Likes a goal

Already better in one sense

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Subject to a thorough medical I think Berg for £12m is a great deal. More creative than Donk.

 

[Nando]

I like a goal, but it doesn't make me a goal scoring midfielder! Donck has a better goal scoring record than him and another CM who isn't adept at carrying the ball isn't what we need.

 

[Dinowolf]

What kind of midfielder is he?

A relegated one

Out of those 5 I'd be looking at Caqueret as a player but he wouldn't necessarily give what the article is asking for - he is considered a future Lyon captain though, very well regarded.

I haven't seen Adli much but read a fair amount of buzz on him - it does seem he has the ability to be a difference maker but is very inconsistent (manager doesn't seem to trust him fully either)

Would be v. happy with either tbh

A relegated one

So was Wijnaldum! Look at the player, not who he’s playing for.

And Robertson!!!

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

A relegated one

As is Buendia, we should have gone for him when Norwich were relegated.

Decent article from Tim II - wish he'd write like this more often:

Wolves looking to bring in players to improve first XI, Traore contract talks also ongoing – The Athletic

Behind a paywall unfortunately.

I wouldn't bother it's conjecture and pretty rubbish. Says nothing with certainty and asks a really stupid question of Nuno.

Most of his assumptions are his opinion or tired clichés.

Other than that it's a great article
