Summer Transfer Gossip.

[We Are Premier League]

How about a few Swedes to fill out the Squad?

Roma are trying to offload their Swedish International GK Robin Olsen, on his way on loan to Montpellier...surely we can compete with that?

John Guidetti as backup Striker, not the best football brain but hard working and built a bit like Mitro. On his way from Alaves on Loan...

[Chutney]

Has the Arter deal brokendown? All gone quiet

Been told we are looking at other options but if they breakdown we will confirm arter

[We Are Premier League]

Daniel Amartey sounds like the kind of player we need...

Has the Arter deal brokendown? All gone quiet

Been told we are looking at other options but if they breakdown we will confirm arter

Is he not waiting to see if a lower prem club
comes in for him?
Its dragging on.

[Woolly Mammoth]

Should be noted when signing a free agent now it's likely they would be unfit so wouldn't make an immediate impact

Unfit and no impact, like the majority of the owner sons signings.

We are looking at other options before confirming, its all very last minute!

It could be the lull before the storm, suddenly there is a rush of blood to the head of the head of our crack recruitment unit, and we register everyone else's deadwood. Or the owners son stumbles by good fortune onto a decent player or two, but we could be under starters orders as it has gone very quiet in the bowels of the club, and perhaps there is movement afoot.

False yet again.

Onomah
Arter

Out please:

Sess

I wish I could agree with you, but if I did we would both be wrong.

Shall we list out every TK transfer, and see who was a success and a failure?

It would be interesting to see how TK succeeds compared to Tompkins Law that is only 40% of transfers breakeven. He wrote a book studying every transfer in the Premier League History.

Let's us save time and list the ones who were a success. As the failures would take far too long, and many of them are forgotten as they either never ended up playing a game, or very little, as they were shocking signings who we either cannot move on, or were let go, so I don't know which was worse, the financial costs of these failures or the cost on the field of play. His record is atrocious, and unforgivable in the cold light of day.

Obvious two that got us promotion would be Targett and Mitrovic.

Some people on this site really do exaggerate. His record is atrocious? So bad that we got promoted in our last Championship season, and reached the playoffs the year before. Here are some (not all) successful transfers, others may yet prove successful (e.g. Bryan, Mawson):

Scott Malone
Sone Aluko
Tomas Kalas
Stefan Johansen
Kevin McDonald
Floyd Ayite
Lucas Piazon
Matt Targett
Aleksander Mitrovic
Calum Chambers

Too early to judge Cavaleiro or Knockaert of course.

I don't have the time to look up all the dates so please forgive me if I'm wrong but wasn't Malone, Aluko, Johansen, McDonald and Ayite signed before TK was appointed DoF?  I think they were Rigg's signings? Plus Mitro was obviously happening because of Jokanovic.

Then there's of course the others from the previous 2 seasons:

Djalo
Cisse
Fonte
Soares
Graham
Seri
Fabri
Anguissa
Markovic
Schurrle
Fosu-Mensah
Vietto
Nordtveit

All of these were either complete failures or not worth anywhere near what we paid for them IMO.

To be fair there were some decent signings for 2017/18 but most of them were loans. TKs big money signings have all been massive disappointments IMO.

The myth that Mitrovic was all about Slav has been debunked so many times now.....he stated it again on his recent podcast so even me, whose critical of TK give him Mitrovic as a success.

[snarks]

Clearly Fonte is rated so badly by you, you've named him twice!!

[S.F.Sorrow]

Plus Cairney, Fredericks, Odoi, Ream, Bettinelli, Sess were also signed before TK was appointed DoF.

This means that most of our promotion team was signed before TK was appointed DoF. These players are getting older and fewer so we're getting closer to a 100% TK team every season now.
