desertfox2 Posted 29 August 2017 Share Posted 29 August 2017 Now Swansea trying for Renato Sanches. Perfect DD replacement. So if we have to lose DD. Get Sanches and any one of Smalling/Evans/Sakho in and keep hold of the rest of our players we want to keep. This would be our best possible window realistically.

Milo Posted 29 August 2017 Share Posted 29 August 2017 Bearing in mind if Riyad goes we have little creativity in the team, I would like to see Wilshere. Realistic, relativity cheap and a decent player (I know, I know re injuries) but if he plays 20 games a season we will be a better team for 20 games...

Steven Posted 29 August 2017 Share Posted 29 August 2017 I was going to say Ignacio Camacho but he went to Wolfsburg for 10 million Euro. Well and truly missed a trick here. I am worried by the insistence of Shakespeare in buying only players with PL experience is driving up the price and driving down the quality available.

Livid Posted 29 August 2017 Share Posted 29 August 2017 Anyone else think Shakespeare being a relative unknown with little top flight managerial experience is counting against us in getting those we want in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitwickfox Posted 29 August 2017 Share Posted 29 August 2017 Absolutely... half the team rumoured to leave and no real noise of any one coming in two crocked signings. A long season and bumpy ride ahead me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted 29 August 2017 Share Posted 29 August 2017 Rafa Benitez says Dwight Gayle is available for £18m which means you could probably get him for £13m. If the Everton £40m Vardy rumours are true then I wouldn't be disappointed at selling Vardy for £40m and getting Gayle to replace him for £13m. That could work for me if Shakey can get the best out of Gayle. Thoughts??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd rather have a much worse player and £27m in the bank, and that's assuming your transfer negotiations can knock Mike Ashley down by £5m. I agree with not unnecessarily spending ridiculous amounts on new signings, but why sell the ones we have and downgrade on them. Ironically that's what we'd be used to if we were all Newcastle fans and we'd alsolutley hate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ****ing way sir would I sell Vardy at any price, look at us without him, we are shocking, our whole style of play is basically built around him tbf. It was just a thought/suggestion if Vardy ended up leaving which I hope he does not. Gayle to me would seem like a good replacement with 1 day until the window slams shut, and if Newcastle want rid he would be available at a cheap price. He's a similar type of player to Vardy, he'd be on a lot less money than Vardy, he's 26 years old about the same age as when Vardy hit his stride in The Championship. I'm talking myself into us signing Gayle. Let's sign him, sell Ulloa and Musa and keep Vardy then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 30 August 2017 Share Posted 30 August 2017 Shakespeare is no Guardiola but I don't think you be too critical of him and the club. Ihenacho, Maguire and Iborra are good players who would have been in demand by other clubs. We probably missed on Sigurdsson through the Koeman factor but I think we had a good window otherwise. Maguire even said that Shakespeare convinced him to come. Ultimately, we will have to see who we have left on Friday. I am shocked we will still have Kasper after his last season and if we keep Mahrez that would be a turn up for the books. Maybe we will lose Drinkwater which will suck but would be a lot worse than losing 3 or 4 of our first team players which could have happened.

He's been pushed aside at Arsenal, did well in a poor Middlesbrough team and, still relatively young, could prove a solid long term signing....Don't think he'd cost £30m either! I think you could get both for less than Chelsea will have to pay for DD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 30 August 2017 Share Posted 30 August 2017 14 hours ago, Livid said: Anyone else think Shakespeare being a relative unknown with little top flight managerial experience is counting against us in getting those we want in ? No. Maguire turns down Spurs and Stoke for us. Kelechi we beat rumoured clubs such as Monaco. Iborra's last two managers now in two of the biggest World Football jobs. The fascination with the manager only exists in England. Agents and players abroad are used to coach system where all the signings are made by the club's hierarchy. The manager is simply a coach, here today and then gone tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can totally understand the reasons for not, but as a fan with no control of the purse strings, I'd really love us to take a punt on Wilshere. A fit and firing Wilshere could be up there with the best in the league, he'd only cost £7-10m to buy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjcW Posted 30 August 2017 Share Posted 30 August 2017 Didn't know where to put this but the lad I saw on my flight back from Amsterdam yesterday was Joost Van Aken who is signing for Sheffield Wednesday.

FoxinNotts Posted 30 August 2017 Share Posted 30 August 2017 Assuming Drinkwater stays (unlikely) and we loan out Musa, Mendy and sell Benny then we'd need a winger and a centre back to complete a balanced 25 man squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
