2023 Summer transfers

Try bringing that up in 23 days time….

Chicago: On the clock.

Now talk of Spudz offering money and Djed for Brennan.

Bastards.

Aren't Djed and Brennan best mates?

You would think they would probably want to play together. The Spuds are so weird....

I will laugh when they lose Kane for nothing next year.

Chicago: King of Dysfunction.

It's not. We can laugh all we want at the quality of MLS (I personally think the average MLS side could survive in the Championship without challenging for the playoffs) but Americans do have a long tradition of developing quality goalkeepers.

According to the Daily Heil Sheffield United want to take LOB on loan and we've said no, if they want him they have to buy him for 10M.

Arsenal-supporting mate says Turner's a solid keeper, but his distribution isn't good enough for what they need. Thinks he'll be alright for us, as do I - time will tell.

Yeah… but you appear to be claiming that we’re already ducking around til the last minute & panic buying.

Chicago: Private Frazer with longer hair

Our strategy of buying young South American talent appears to be rolling on.

TBH I can't say I dislike it. Danilo is ace and I like what I've seen of Aguilera so far.

Danilo looks good. Christina let's see, looks like he will be loaned. Brain/Brian not such a success.

Ahem....

Born 2001, so he'd have to be included in the 25. Welcome to Nottingham Forest, now fuck off somewhere on loan.

The only conceivable reason for selling Brennan is to solve FFP. Part exchange simply reduces the impact on FFP. Unless the cash element is very large, Djed doesn’t make any difference

I think/hope there will be some higher quality panic signings when we get closer to the deadline, probably after being trounced by Arsenal, Man Utd and (most disappointingly) maybe even not a great result against Sheffield United. If we lose Johnson though (which just feels like it is going to happen) it is going to take something surprising for this pre-season to represent progress. Take a team which really struggled last year, badly at times, and remove three of the better/best/key performers in Lodi, Hendo/Navas and Johnson and replace with an Arsenal reserve keeper, a Man Utd reserve with lightning pace but frustrating end product, and Aina and you have all the ingredients for one hell of a struggle.

We also have Neco, Serge and Aina who all play the same position. It wouldn't make sense which doesn't mean it won't happen.

Apparently it's a choice of Djed, Roddan or Bryan Gil. Plus cash.
