The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2021/22

[Bassey the warrior]

Next 11 days are going to be nerve racking if we lose nobody or just Anguissa we are likely to have an amazing season if we lose Anguissa, Seri and Tosin it may not be so great... the perfect 11 days for me will be....

Tosin stays
Seri stays
Muniz signs
Anguissa stays or replaced by Grimes
Carvalho signs new contract

A few Jack Daniels will be had if this happens

Grimes isn't a like for like replacement for Anguissa, he's more of a deep lying playmaker. If Anguissa goes we're a dynamic player down and we'd need to replace that - Will Hughes would be a more suitable candidate. If we keep Seri we don't need Grimes but if he goes, we do.

Would you settle to keep Frank and not bring in anybody else?

No way. He ain't looked interested and there's no excuse for that. Jog him on and take what we can and bring players in that can do the business for our great FFC.

Zambo is a class above anyone else in other teams in this league. He must stay. We have the January window to get rid of the dross such as Knockaert, MLM & Sess if there are any potential FFP issues.

That is of course unless we breach and are put under an embargo, so you have to make sure your not in trouble prior to the window.

How do you know this? He ain't even started a game yet this season. And he never exactly set the prem alight. Cash in I say. We don't look like we need him do we?

[AJW48361]

Looks decent in the air.

[AJW48361]

He a looks he plays a similar position to Fabio.

[millsy]

I wish people would think before posting comments about our players like Sess, Max and Knock, as to call them "dross" is insulting and inaccurate. You may not rate them, as I don't rate Zambo but no need to denigrate them in this way. They're our players and should be treated with some respect.

[Count Flapula]

Agreed we don't really need Grimes if we keep Seri.

Would also be OK keeping Zambo FFP permitting, but by my reckoning we currently have 6.5 CBs (.5 being Odoi), 5 wide forwards and 5 RBs (Tete, Christie, Odoi, Sess and Fossey).  To balance the squad/books and reduce wage bill I rather move on MLM, Christie, Fossey, Knock and Fabri (if he's still alive) as they most are likely on good wages and simply unlikely to get much worthy game time to warrant their wages given squad depth.

I'd also loan out Sess to hopefully give him one last shot at proving he can develop from regular game time sufficiently to live up to his potential - would love to see him make it but not overly optimistic.

Keep Zambo, sell the aforementioned, bring in Muniz and I'd honestly be happy with that given how well we're playing/squad depth.

[JackHamlet90]

Personally think we don't need any additions once Muniz comes in if we can keep Frank.

Loan out or sell Fabri Christie Sess Le Marchand meaning squad is

GK - Gazzaniga Rodak
RB - Tete Odoi
CB - Tosin Ream Mawson Kongolo Hector
LB - Robinson Bryan
CM - Anguissa Seri Reed Onomah Francois
RM - Wilson Knockeart
LM - Kebano Cavaleiro
CAM - Carvalho Cairney
ST - Mitrovic Muniz

That for me is easily strong enough to finish in the top 2 & return to the Premier League

Yes. Fully agree. The only thing I would add is, if Ffp allows after those sales, pick the position that needs the most upgrading and try to find a player that is PL ready. Less preparation next year.

Then we also have BDR who can be a starter for a number of positions!

[AJW48361]

S Sess must admit yet to be fully convinced about him although highly regarded at the club.

A ridiculous squad for the Championship - our second string is probably play-off worthy.

If possible, I'd look to shift Knockaert and sign another AM. Otherwise, assuming things are going well in January, potentially bring in 1 or 2 PL-ready upgrades then.

Surprised he missed out BDR and put in knockaert. BdR is one of our key forwards for me.

Include the missing BDR in Knock's spot, sell Knock and Fossey (22 now and still no games for us despite being highly rated) that's exactly how I see it.

Transfer-wise only Muniz needed in that scenario; if we do get a buyer for Anguissa for a suitable fee and he wants to go then add another MF.

There will be no transfer news now until a day or two before deadline day so we may as well spend the time gossiping.

[junior white]

One of the things I have heard is that we are waiting on outgoings before we do anymore incomings, not from anyone inside the club just something I heard in a discussion at work.

Also heard that Grimes is unlikely as he wants double what he originally asked for and Swansea also increased the fee.

Again no inside info just things i heard at work

[Bracken White]

My thoughts echo this re Anguissa. Wages must be huge & if we 'sacrifice' him then this does free up some flexibility for us to do other business. Certainly it may make Seri's remuneration more affordable & we'd be all the stronger if he stays.
So an interesting week ahead & there still may be Obafemi from So'ton in the mix plus the young Sporting Lisbon midfielder, too.
Crowning glory, of course a new contract for Carvalho .... however, fundamental, for me, that Adarabiyo stays.

I was going to say much the same. A very poorly worded post.
