[Football] Non-albion Summer 23 transfer window discussion

[The Fits]

Pau Torres to Villa. Absolutely huge signing that. For my money one of the very best CBs, and possibly the best passer of the ball.

Yup. Him for 35m and Tielemans on a free is worryingly good business.

Vardy turns down a move to Saudi. Shame. It would have been probably the funniest thing I can imagine. He'd have caused a diplomatic incident after an hour.

 

[The Fits]

Yup. Him for 35m and Tielemans on a free is worryingly good business.

Given how 'good' they were under Emery it's two bits of incredible business. If they sign a big name striker as well on paper their first team is intimidating to say the least. Next year is going to be lots of fun. Genuinely think Spurs might not make too ten.

Not as worried about Tielemans. Decent when you’ve got the ball but a liability without it. The bloke can’t run

Jamie Vardy apparently turned down an offer to play in Saudi Arabia

Probably a good idea. I can't imagine Vardy and his Mrs surviving longer than about a week before causing some major international incident.

Probably the best CB in my lifetime, other than Beresi.

Villa are serious title contenders next season with him.

Really surprised Real Madrid, Abu Dhabi or Bayern didn’t buy Tielemans. After Caicedo and MacA one of the best midfielders we’ve seen in Europe recent seasons.

Villa keep pulling these rabbits out of the hat. Much silverware will shirley follow.

They’ll have a full week’s prep and rest between each PL game, zero overseas travel, a huge PL advantage.

Chelsea and Spuds should thrive.

Wolves have accepted a bid of £7.5m plus £1m in add-ons from Leicester for England defender Conor Coady, 30.

That'll be ENGLAND'S Conor Coady, with 10 x more England caps than Lewis Dunk to his name, playing Championship football next season.

 

[Bakero]

Probably the best CB in my lifetime, other than Beresi.

Villa are serious title contenders next season with him.

He's very good but the best in your lifetime? I don't sense sarcasm but that's some serious hyperbole. Fantastic passer of the ball and very composed but I could quickly name a better 10 or 20 centre backs from the past 30 years.

I can't really believe Villa are title contenders really.. Maybe top 4 contenders though.

They're desperate, with Evans and Faes at the back they'd likely still be shipping tons in the Championship.
Coady's career seems to have swan dived. Rejected by Wolves and Everton now.
Leicester seem terribly run, but their fans seem convinced they're going to walk the league with 100+ points.
I think they're in for a rude awakening.

Agreed.

What were the positives for Leicester? Madddison (gone) Barnes (going).

Past performers? Tielemans (gone). Vardy (going/old), Ndidi (surely he won't stay)

Coady and Winks are good signings but where on earth will the goals come from. They will need a whole new attack.

Also a whole lot more out of contract next summer, won't get decent fees to reinvest.

Spurs issue last year was at the back

New Keeper and potentially 2 new CBs in, whilst Hojberg going should improve that

Doubt will be in top 4, but not in top 10?

You'll need a goalscorer. To go from having one of the best in the world to none will be a huge shock to the system.

Kane will have to be sold first

Son/Richi/Maddison/Kulu will all chip in enough to get top 10

I imagine if he does go they will bring someone else In as well

If you look at Tottenham's Top 20 record signings I'd say the the jury is out on 4 of them: Romero, Maddison, Porro, Bissouma. Of the other 16 I'd say only Son and Kulusevski have been successful.

That's 14 mediocre signings (Ndombele, Richarlison, Davison Sanchez, Moussa Sissoko, Lo Celso, Bergwijn, Soldado, Reguilon, Lamela, Moura, Sessegnon, Gil, Emerson Royal and Serge Aurier with a combined cost of £400mill). That's some poor recruitment by Levy.

Ian Nacho and Daka aren't much cop in the Premier League but I imagine they'll do alright in the Championship.
