Swansea agree deal for Fernando Llorente. Pretty so-so nowadays

by Fernando Thu 04 Aug 2016, 7:16 pm

He's good enough for Swansea if going to launch crosses in not if want to run in behind.

by westisbest Thu 04 Aug 2016, 8:35 pm

Leeds after Lescott.
May aswell take him as it will be for free.

Good riddance.
The guys a disgrace.

Dr X has said there will be at least 2 more players in before window closes.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 05 Aug 2016, 12:10 am

Bilic has said he wants five new signings.

Calleri, Santon, Ayew, Bacca, Lazaar/Olsson would be my guesses. Slimani or Mandzukic are probably also worthwhile shouts.

I would think we will stay in the market till the end of the window looking for loans and cheap deals regardless.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 05 Aug 2016, 12:12 pm

Prem clubs after Slimani, with Southampton being my bet, but I'm sure we'll have a sniff and a few others will too. Leicester have been linked with him nearly as long as we have.

by Guest Fri 05 Aug 2016, 12:35 pm

I read that Martin Odegaard is interested in a move to Liverpool now Real Madrid are wanting to loan him out. Should have come when you have the chance to sign for us a couple of seasons ago, you little pr!ck.

How dare someone choose Real Madrid over Liverpool...

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 05 Aug 2016, 12:57 pm

Not sure what benefit there is to getting him on loan.

by Guest Fri 05 Aug 2016, 1:03 pm

Odegaard isn't very good anyway, they've admitted it was a mistake & Ancelotti labelled it a PR stunt. He's been pretty awful for Castilla. I presume he's now trying to put himself about, off the Madrid name, because it's not his performances that will attract anyone.

by Guest Fri 05 Aug 2016, 1:37 pm

I remember him blathering on about what a big Liverpool fan he was then he f*cked and took the money instead of the possibility of actually playing some football. Dodged a bullet there

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 05 Aug 2016, 6:38 pm

Santon fails medical. Looks like hes not one of our 5

Sunderland sign Papy Djilobodji from Chelsea for £8m

by westisbest Sat 06 Aug 2016, 8:57 am

Sinclair on the verge of joining Celtic

by Guest Sat 06 Aug 2016, 11:30 am

@whufc_official agree fee with @SwansOfficial for forward Andre Ayew - £20m

I also hear West Ham could sign left back Arthur Masuaku for around £6m

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 06 Aug 2016, 8:02 pm

Whilst we wait; Pogba not in Juve's squad for their friendly with us tomorrow. Probably means nowt, Payet only returned to training the other day, but gossip isnt fun with reason

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 07 Aug 2016, 12:44 pm

Bilic confirms Ayew and Masuaka very close to being West Ham players.

Its being reported that we won't buy Bacca cos we don't wanna pay out for both him and Ayew now that we cant sell Sakho. Cheap c*nts

by **Hero** Sun 07 Aug 2016, 1:57 pm

Juve agreed to contracts and Pogba medical now happening.

by Fernando Sun 07 Aug 2016, 2:38 pm

Swansea in talks with Atletico over Borja Baston

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 07 Aug 2016, 3:25 pm

Pogback makes me wish I'd died

by **Hero** Sun 07 Aug 2016, 3:27 pm

It's taken someone in United's marketing department all summer to come up with that.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 07 Aug 2016, 3:33 pm

My friend who works in their marketing department is about to receive abusive messages from me

by nadeem2099 Sun 07 Aug 2016, 9:10 pm

Don't worry guys it will be #pogbye in a few years when he joins Real.

by **Crimey** Sun 07 Aug 2016, 10:25 pm

Is he becoming Ryback's tag team partner?

Good luck affording him then when you couldn't this summer Wink

by Fernando Sun 07 Aug 2016, 10:53 pm

If anything like usual he'll run his contract down and leave for a minimal fee.

by GSC Sun 07 Aug 2016, 11:15 pm

After Antonio Valencia is preferred at CM

How's Arsenal's transfers going this summer? Wink

by Guest Mon 08 Aug 2016, 8:29 am

Manager transfer - Frank De Boer now manager of Inter Milan. Mancini sacked

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 08 Aug 2016, 11:34 am

We've signed Masuaka, left back. Can be known as either Arthur or Fuka. We've also signed him from a Greek club, so he's now known as moussaka, or A Fuka

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 08 Aug 2016, 11:36 am

Nasri put up for sale. Everton?

by **Crimey** Mon 08 Aug 2016, 11:40 am

His attitude is so poor not sure he's worth it. Imagine he'll end up going to Italy.

by Adam D Mon 08 Aug 2016, 4:16 pm

What does everyone make of Swanseas two new strikers? are they any good?

Atletico Madrid striker Borja Baston and Fernando Llorente from Sevilla.

by **Hero** Mon 08 Aug 2016, 4:37 pm

Baston was excellent last season in La Liga scoring 18 goals which was 2 more than Gameiro who Atletico bought. The downside is the buyback clause, essentially it's a loan if he does well.

Llorente could well be suited to the Premier League as he's an old school centre forward, been a while though since his most prolific season back in 2012 when he got 29 in 53 games.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 08 Aug 2016, 6:06 pm

I think Llorente is a baffling signing for Swansea

by nadeem2099 Mon 08 Aug 2016, 7:23 pm

They should have just kept Eder instead of selling him to Lille.

by Guest Mon 08 Aug 2016, 7:31 pm

not really, eder was pony for swansea. one high profile goal changes nothing

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 08 Aug 2016, 7:50 pm

Ayew is a Hammer. £20.5m

Do you remember what it feels like to celebrate a high profile goal? Wink

by Guest Mon 08 Aug 2016, 10:16 pm

---------CARROLL/AYEW-----------
PAYET-------LANZINI-----FEGHOULI
--------NOBLE---KOUYATE----------

Is that your summer done then, DZ? Happy?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 08 Aug 2016, 10:32 pm

I'm happy so far, I think we could use a proper goalscorer up top to have had the best window possible. Bacca still sounds likely, and if you gave me Bacca up top with those options around him, and a chance to have fresher legs when competing in multiple competitions...well its better than I could have hoped.

We could then play either Bacca or Carroll (or in theory Ayew) up top, and have options of Payet, Lanzini, Feghouli, Ayew, Tore and then even Antonio, Valencia or Sakho still around. Worried about the full backs, although like the potential of the French lad we just bought.

With a midfield two from Noble, Kouyate, Nordtveit and Obiang, with young Oxford and even younger Quina possible deputies if desperate then the only place we look suspect is choosing between Byram and Antonio at right back. Its the best squad I'll ever have seen us have if Bacca comes in, thats for sure

by Guest Mon 08 Aug 2016, 10:38 pm

#Nufc are in advanced negotiations with Everton over loan signing of left-back Brendan Galloway. #Efc want 7-figure fee, agreement close.

Not sure why on earth we signed Clark & bigged him up as being a versatile left sided defender & then go after Galloway. Probably pay over the odds for a loan, but clearly Dummett is shocking & Haidara is always injured

by It Must Be Love Mon 08 Aug 2016, 10:42 pm

Is Andy Carrol a good bet for fantasy, or will he be on the bench for Ayew?

by **Hero** Mon 08 Aug 2016, 11:06 pm

I would though say that West Ham are the most likely team to be amongst the top four outside of the traditional big four (yes I realise only 2 of the big four finished in the top four last year but Inexpect normal service to resume this year).

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 08 Aug 2016, 11:18 pm

It Must Be Love wrote:Is Andy Carrol a good bet for fantasy, or will he be on the bench for Ayew?

I would guess he'll start the season for us. Depends on if we sign Bacca, but hes like Sturridge in that you want him in, then hate him when he inevitably breaks down

Our defence cant match the team from the chasing pack that broke into that top four last year. Spurs have a back five of quality, with clever midfielders to offset the defensive frailties that Walker and Rose have. In fact, its a bit of a back seven with how good Dier and Dembele can be for them, and the way they defend as a team is what makes them such a good side.

We've gone a bit Kevin Keegan - whilst I love Oggy and Reid, we look a side that thinks we might just try score 5 and let in 4.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 09 Aug 2016, 1:31 am

More recent rumours:

Everton to bid for Lamine Kone. Guardian also said today that Everton bid £18m for Bolasie, but Palace want closer to £30m.

Everton should think about doing this in footsteps not strides. Bony, Remy, Nasri, both Sakho at our place, and possibly even Liverpool's Sakho depending on relationship there. I would guess that Mario Gomez is available, likely Mandzukic too, see if they can go for Gary Cahill if Chelsea so badly want Lukaku, Begovic too (vastly superior to Stekelenburg). Koeman must be disappointed so far
