Makes you less likely to go for Mahrez, and I reckon you'd be probably the top side I expect to go in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted December 28, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted December 28, 2017 Simpson could be out months rather than weeks apparently. I think that's eventually going to finish him off here. Andre Almeida's name keeps popping up in links with us, right back from Benfica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted December 28, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted December 28, 2017 Ben Arfa rumour stepping up as well. I can see that and I hope it happens. Puel's about the only manager who has gotten anything out of him in recent years so it's a savvy signing if it happens. He's clearly got the talent.

Doubt anyone on here watches too much Turkish football - but Besiktas fans on reddit seem to be pretty upset that he's leaving. That's usually a good sign on the quality of the player you're getting unless there's been some kind of transfer saga that changes how fans view the players - that hasn't happened here.

LFCMadLad 2,080 Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Kicker & Bild both claiming that we’ve almost reached an agreement with Schalke to bring in Goretzka. Bookies odds have tumbled this morning too down to 2/1. What a coup that would be on a free, especially given the interest also being shown by Barcelona, Bayern & United.

Man Utd linked with the midfielder from Napoli Now that's a signing that makes sense. Laughing at the amount of times Pogba comes deep to lead a transition. Totally not his game.

I reckon it's probably not a bad place to buy from generally although Slimani we were absolutely had on. That signing really does symbolise everything we've become off the pitch. If we fuck this window up there is absolutely no way Rudkin can stay on. He should've been out the door a year ago for me. That's before the Silva fiasco. What do you think of him @Machado? Seen people who've watched him say he's not that good going forward which surprises me as I think that's the main reason Puel would've been in for a right back, even more so now that Simpson is injured long-term. God knows why we never fixed this ages ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Blue 1,901 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Pep has been given 200million to spend .. for me we need 2 CB's as Kompany can not be relied on and a striker with Iheanacho not being replaced yet, that might be Sanchez if he isn't going to PSG now instead ..Pep is worried about upsetting the harmony of the team but a few injury's and we could be buggered so we need to buy these 3 players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,267 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 For us, I think a LWB, CM, and Striker is a necessity in January. As for next season, we may need to add a CB, RWB, and RW along with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always looked wafer thin at left back with Mendy out all season. You've got by through using a midfielder and a right back there but I think Pep would want a natural left back in the mould of Bertrand who is good going forward as he is defending. Saints are apparently heavily interested in Ryan Sessengnon from Fulham so can definitely see the Bertrand deal happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be Lucas, we almost bought him in the summer so the interest was/is there ...would be harsh on Delph who has done an ok job but he is injury prone so makes sense with Mendy out most of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,767 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Doubt Swansea will sell Mawson to them but I'm sure we will sell Shelvey for the right price. He was never a Rafa player, at the beginning of last season he didn't start, he came in because of injuries and took the piss out of Championship opponents so had to play. This season he has been in and out, sent off twice, but Rafa likes 2 holding mids and a number 10 and Shelvey is neither. Now probably isn't the time to sell though.

God knows why we never fixed this ages ago. It's a weird rumour this one. Benfica fans have for long considered him to not be good enough to start for us and all of a sudden he's linked to a Premier League club. He's probably past his prime as well. Not an exciting signing for you guys imo but who knows, maybe he can do a job. He's a good defender altough most often that not poor at set pieces. Smart with the ball to be fair, but not brilliant going forward as he lacks that extra pace and "arrogance" to his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna even pretend to know anything about him? He's 22 and playing in a weak league, so if we are after him, I doubt it's with a view for him to immediately slot in as a regular. Wouldn't be surprised if we loan him back to Basel for the rest of the season and maybe even next year to get him playing as much as possible because his chances will be limited here initially. 2 hours ago, Kitchen Sales said: Doubt Swansea will sell Mawson to them but I'm sure we will sell Shelvey for the right price.

I think it was Rafa who originally signed him for us. He must've seen something deep down that never materialised, because as you say, he just isn't a Rafa player. He strikes me as a perfect West Ham signing, though, because he looks a lot better than he actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
