Transfer: 2023 Summer Transfer Rumors and Discussion - Closed Window Edition

[les Habs]

Don’t know anything about him but the idea is right.

Good player as I've said previously, especially on a low fee.

 

[Savant]

Spursy.... under Unai he should be better.

More of a compliment to Ramsey than an insult to GLC

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Agreed. Don't really want to see them take 30-40 million dollar risks in an attempt to fill the wholes Caicedo and Mac Allister will surely open. Take your time with it and get the right prospects to fill the long-term plans.

The good thing about the midfield is there will be an internal replacement in Jakub Moder coming back from long term injury. He was amazing before getting hurt and will hopefully slot back in.

It depends.
I think they could target one potential "star" midfielder like Roméo Lavia or Manu Koné at a higher price and bringing in maybe 1 or 2 top talented players from lower league at a cheaper price.

Those are chelsea’s top two targets

Chelsea might have to trim their squad before adding more players.

I mean, we don't have to, and you can do multiple things at once.

I might have a date with Ana De Armas

Maybe the AI version

I guess. It just seem like many teams are in for midfielder this summer. Chelsea might hold the card, if they re-sign Mason Mount that could be the first indicator. I also thought that Caicedo was a legit target for Chelsea

Brighton have the potential to become a powerhouse team if they can manage to get great fees for Caicedo and MacAllister and reinvest into better players. It's hard to do but they seem to have the right recipe and they are one of the few premier league team that is heavily investing into young south american talents which is smart.

They'll run into the same problem as all the other financial-minnow-but-run-well clubs do, a la Leicester. No one bats 1.000 on transfers. The second you start getting a few wrong, it all crumbles. There's no such thing as a powerhouse at that level, it's some high years, followed by the lows.

Leicester did win a championship and an FA Cup that is pretty decent IMO.

No doubt. I wouldn't put that type of expectation on Brighton, but my point really was just that sustainability (as in high-level competitiveness) over the long-long-term isn't really in the cards for a club like that bar something immense. Eventually, clubs start to get it wrong, be it in the transfer market or youth development, and they can't outrun it with money the way all the top clubs can.

Just a guess, but I think they want Lavia, but we'll probably see who Poch wants. I think we'll see a #9, #6, GK, and then a lot of sales/loans/terminations.

 

[JPBolts]

Didn’t think he was great in PL before. That’s Ramsey position and I’d rather stick with Ramsey

I think he would be more of a depth signing as we don't really have that many options for those positions -- especially if we miraculously get into Europe for next season.

Yeah, basically the only way to avoid that is to hit for long enough that you can become a commercial powerhouse. But no one has done that organically in a while.

 

[cgf]

Would be a nice piece of business. 5.5M buyout clause this summer.

I amortized her over the next eight years.

(Lever joke too easy)

 

[cgf]

Leverkusen have reportedly already made a bid for Alejo Veliz.

Gladbach, Leverkusen, & Frankfurt are being linked to Fabian Rieder.

Gladbach are also being linked to Jean-Philippe Krasso as a replacement for Marcus Thuram, who Barca is reportedly working on.

Bart Verbruggen is reportedly on Bayern's target list.

Since this is as close to an OT thread we've got, the NBA is just insane

Club Brugge sign Polish winger Michał Skóraś from Lech Poznan for €6M

[luiginb]

He looks like that meme face. Not good enough to start for a UCL team IMO.

 

[Prntscrn]

Trent should fore sure be one of Liverpool's new midfielders imo, just get a new RB instead. So 2 midfielders and 1 RB?
