sexbelowsound Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 First time in ages i've genuinely been excited by the rumoured signings. Looking forward to next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I will be when we've landed a few of them but for now this renewed transfer optimism is ruining my summer. Relentlessly checking VT and Twitter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted July 8, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2015 I don't know about ruining my summer, but it's certainly ruining my work ethic. I'm optimistic at the renewed ambition and the team of Sherwood, Fox and Reilly running the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh621 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Not sure about Guidetti to be honest. Seems like he's been about for years and not done anything - and massively injury prone. That Embolo kid looks to have some class about him playing for Basel though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Sell Benteke and bring in Austin and Embolo for £25m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh621 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 The very credible Belgian reporter has said that we have been offered Praet and that we are interested. No bid yet though. Feck! That's exciting news. And I'd take Vorm all day he was absolutely class at Swansea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 We have been linked to all these players for nearly 2 weeks and are supposed to be close to signing but how many have we signed bar a free and a guy who we had lined up in Jan. starting to think we arent in for any of them!

The guy we have agreed a fee for, agreed personal terms with and whom passed a medical? He will cost us £9,000,000 (if the press are to be believed). Work permit is holding that back, not us. Its the eighth of July, plenty of time for signings. Cool your jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Can understand people who might have concerns, considering the work our squad needs. We've sold a few players already and there's rumours that Vlaar, Benteke and even Guzan and Delph could leave. We need to get some players in asap. I'm sure we will though, well hopefully.

Not setting the world alight considering there is nearly a new thread opened for a player we are after every day. In reality we have spent 2.5mill. FACT. So are you replying for affect?

Teams have work permit issues all the time. Deals often take time. Especially when you've just finished 17th, you have to work a little harder for them. We've agreed a 9 million euro deal for the player. This has been confirmed by the manager. So when that goes through will your opinion change?

jackbauer24 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Although it's inevitable that someone will make a tired 50/50 joke... Benteke leaving is pretty much certain, it's just when it happens. Odds must be 90%+ Vlaar has technically left and is very unlikely to return so his odds must be similar. Delph is interested in City (confirmed) so odds must by 75%+ Guzan isn't rated but Given is off so this one really is 50/50 depending on transfer dealings. So arguaby the spine of our very weak team gone. No wonder people are getting worried, however early it is in the transfer window. What odds are that we would replace these players with even similar quality, never mind better? Benteke will be near impossible with our budget to improve on. Richards might be improvement on Vlaar but relatively untested at CB. Gueye (assuming permit goes through) probably not as good as Delph and will need time to settle. Which goal keeper we're linked with is better than Guzan? So team treading water at best. Add on disappearing squad depth in Weimann, Lowton and Given and I genuinely have grave concerns. The season starts in one month. Movement needs to happen quickly as each day that passes increases the likelihood we will struggle even more next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a start, but with the players going out, some who may turn out to be our best two players, we will need a hell of allot more. We even have to get a new keeper after tonight. Time is not on our side considering 6 odd weeks to start of league and we have no squad. Ive seen this farting about this past 3 years, getting sick of it.

jackbauer24 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Remember season starts very early this year. It is only ONE MONTH until kick off, to the day. That's probably why there has been earlier transfer moves by a lot of clubs. We've brought in Richards on a free. We've nearly brought in Gueye hopefully. But with Benteke leaving the second Liverpool meet the figure (when, not if most likely) and Vlaar gone, Delph looking to go and three or four other regulars already sold I'd say we need to stop being so relaxed about things! I'm getting increasingly concerned, last season hardly suggested we already didn't need considerable work on our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
