***Official Summer Transfer Thread***

[Saul Goodman]

Number one priority—yes, above a LB—has to be to get a natural number 10 in the next transfer window. Not someone like Mahrez or Bernardo or Gundogan who are supposedly creative yet really create nothing. A natural number 10. A Christian Eriksen type player, but better.

Yes indeed that will enable us to sell that lump De Bruyne.

[Saul Goodman]

Youre hilarious. No, KDB needs a partner. He cannot be the sole creative player in the side. Our hopes of winning or losing every match cannot rely only on KDB. And don't give me that bullshit about Foden replacing Silva. Foden is NOT a number 10 and never will be; he is NOT a creative player.

For me the priority has to be a striker. One good enough to replace Kun

We could have Lewandowski and Aguero out there together but it won't matter if no one gets them the ball in dangerous areas

[PeterParker]

Haaland needs to be our number 1 target.
Fuck the spafia and their wars, that fella is a monster and we have a direct line to him.

He needs to be Sergio's replacement.

Just said in the pep thread, bring his manager too

[Saul Goodman]

Favre? Hahah. NO

[Wooders]

Favre? Hahah. NO

Right. Why?

He has a track record of overachieving with teams he manages and is currently going great guns at Dortmund, he has a style of football that is very enjoyable to watch and he’s a very popular manager amongst his players and puts a great squad together

So come on genius why’s it so funny to think he’d be a good fit here?

[Dub City]

With Aguero injured again surely it’s time to bring balotelli back on a short term contract as a free agent I’m sure Pep would love to have him in his squad.

In all seriousness the only free agent that I could think Of was a Sturridge on a short term deal but given his injury record is worse than Aguero would most likely be a bit pointless, by time he would be fit to be an option we would probably be at the January transfer window, that’s assuming he didn’t get injured in training.

Either that or stick to his word and play Delap

That would be great be he didn’t even have him on the bench when there was no other striker option today which makes fuck all sense

Because hes bad and going to be sacked at Dortmund after this season. He has woefully underperformed with that squad notably choking away the title two seasons ago.

"Overachieving with teams" is a trait you want at Nice and Gladbach aka smaller clubs that are desperate to do well. If youre City you don't hire a Favre. You hire a Pochettino or a Nagelsmann who are objectively great coaches and have done well at top clubs (yes, Leipzig is now a top club).

Dortmund have won 3 out of their last 15 CL away matches (with two of those recent wins at Brugge and Sparta Prague, not exactly titans of football). Not all of those are Favre but if you think watching Pep now is frustrating imagine dealing with Favre.

Cobblers.
We need a natural FINISHER

Despite recent improvements Saul has a rather low IQ (Irony Quotient) not untypical of his locality though.

Scum have done it with Larson Zlatan and now Cavani, is Pep capable of bringing in a forward player who has not been retrained programmed to his way. It’s a gamble and Pep does not strike me as throw the dice guy. Danny Ings would be a good addition for me, clever player 28.

No Fawlty, I wont have it !

Jesus out for another 6 weeks, Aguero who knows how long.
We should be signing a striker Jan who can do a job for us.
