Re: Summer 2015 transfer thread
I still say we should take a look at Joel Campbell. Available for £6m and he's definitely going somewhere in the next week or so. The World Cup showed there is a player in there somewhere.
Re: Summer 2015 transfer thread
He looked amazing in the World Cup if I remember correctly, surprised he hasn't been given much playing time at Arsenal, even for pre-season friendly etc.. but it looks like Palermo want him according to TalkSPORTTrilby wrote:I still say we should take a look at Joel Campbell.

------------------------------------------ Adrian ---------------------------------
Jenkinson --------------- Reid --------------------- Ogbonna --------------------- Cresswell
---------------------------- Kouyate ------------------- Song----------------------
Mirallas/Amalfitano ----------------- Payet ------------------------ Lanzini/Zarate
------------------------------------------- Sakho ------------------------------------------
I know Song hasn't formally signed yet and Mirallas is still doubtful but how great would this starting XI be?
I rate Zarate a lot more after the norwich game after his linking up with Payet, Lanzini is unproven but his skill to match balls from Song and Payet could be easy for him to make an impact.
If Mirallas signs we'll have heavily improved width and another way to feed sakho the ball in the area, even if Sakho is injured I believe even Carroll will score more goals with such a skillful XI thats here?
Disagree?

Re: Summer 2015 transfer thread
Yep, pretty much agree with most of that, Doyley.
Mirallas to us, seems like it's a real possibility and hopeful something can get done. Him or another similar player to him with end product would take us up a level.
I also don't think Zarate is as bad or selfish as other think he is. If he's focused and on his game he could be very useful this season to us when called upon.
I'm also quite hopeful Valencia will show more now after a season getting used to the pace of the Premier League and won't make our need for an elusive wonder striker so necessary.

Re: Summer 2015 transfer thread
Good shout indeed. If Mirallas is looking unlikely I'd be happy with him instead, and he's that much younger.Trilby wrote:I still say we should take a look at Joel Campbell.

Re: Summer 2015 transfer thread
I'd be thoroughly disappointed with Joel Campbell. Not good enough for where we are trying to go.
1 goal in 15 with Villarreal last season, 8 in 32 in the Greek League with Olympiacos, and previously a combined 5 goals in 53 for Betis and Lorient. Definitely not the goalscoring winger we need.
There's reason no lower midtable EPL clubs have ever been interested in taking him on loan.

According to ' Tribal Football ' - Inter Milan have made Premiership Clubs aware of highly regarded Danilo D'Ambrosio , 26 year old full back who recently moved from Torino - West Ham and Tottenham have made enquiries , Fiorentina , Napoli and Roma are also interested .
Re: Summer 2015 transfer thread
DiMarzio's American counterpart also mentioned D'Ambrosio to either us or Spurs...

I saw him play for villareal vs Valencia when I was on holiday over there. He was awful. Terrible movement and touch. Didn't offer anything.Geoff Peters-Moore wrote: Didn't he go somewhere on loan last season - how did he do?

Re: Summer 2015 transfer thread
Joel Campbell? No thanks. Not a player for the big leagues and I can't believe people still make the mistake of judging players by a few world cup performances.

I also have high hopes that after a season of adapting to the prem that we see much more of Valencia as part of a three behind Sakho or Carroll. Otherwise I would agree that team looks very exciting!xdoyley wrote:Disagree?

If he hasn't got a letter followed by an apostrophe at the start of his name, or two odd consonants put together then I ain't interested...

Re: Summer 2015 transfer thread
So Zlatan is saying his next move will be 'a big, big surprise'
We are in for a striker, he sounds like he's moving, it would be a big, big surprise.
2 + 2 = 5
Who is starting the Welcome Zlatan thread?
