Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

Gone from ambivalent to kind of really hoping this happens. You need cover at fullback these days, and if we hold the cards when negotiating a price for once, it could be a fairly low-risk acquisition in a position that's particularly high-energy and will always need cover.

Can he play Lb as well? Would make more sense then.
 
Disappointing but not surprising. Monaco brought Diakhaby last week and are reportedly going to sign Ghezzal.

Remember your posts about him, you rated him very highly and said he is replacement for first team already.

Not a clue on which position Saint-Maximin or Diakhaby plays, so he is sold because they signed Diakhaby?

He probably asked to be sold, Monaco has too many wide players and he has been loaned twice already. Nice is a great place for him and they need more wide players.

Thank you.
 


We must be quite confident that we have a RB coming in then.

Great stuff. I'm not confident in De Boer doing much but I imagine Fosu-Mensah will get some consistent game time.

Hopefully Tuanzebe is next on the list.

Or we are holding Darmien as cover for both WB roles, with blind or Lindelof able to do a job either side if required as a plan C.

Forgot we have Young still too don't we?
 
Bit disappointing if true, was hoping to see him used more.
Me too. Think he's got a great future. Loan does make sense if we do get another RB in to some degree but I'd like to see him covering RB and CDM this year especially starting cup matches.

Same. Regular minutes won't do him any harm but I think he's already good enough to deputise for Valencia and our other options at RB aren't particularly convincing.

Players like Tuanzebe, Mitchell and McTominay are the ones I think are more in need of a loan.

Mou said last season he wanted to rest Valencia more than he had done, but did not have any other suitable RB's in the squad. Playing TFM there during pre season without using Darmian there suggest he does not see Darmian as backup RB.

Further we have been linked to at least three RB's in the past week. No coincidence I think.
 
Good move to loan Mensah to Crystal Palace. He wasn't gonna displace Valencia and hopefully he'll be a regular under his former Dutch boss.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if he's loaned out to gain experience in a position that we can't afford to give him minutes in. No point in having him as cover for rb if Jose doesn't see him as a rb
