The Almighty 2015 Summer Transfer Window Thread

OUT:

• Walcott (Liverpool/City) 20-25m (ffs Theo I do like you)
  
• Campbell 5-10m
  
• Podolski 3-5m
  
• Flamini Free
  
• Diaby Free

Total: 28-40m in with around ~300k p/w freed in wages

IN:

• Petr Cech 10m
  
• Marco Reus 35-40m
  
• Morgan Schneiderlin 18-25m

Total: 63-75m

NET SPEND: 35m max

Theo will score against us, a lot. Don't want him gone...

If we want Reus then unfortunately that's the only possible way. No place for all deeeez wingers

You guys suck at making lists. Start the list with a dash, and then make sure you do two spaces after the line:

- This is a list item[space][space]
- This is, too

That will create:

Sorry for messing with your post, fixed the list formatting.

Here are my hopes and dreams:

Transfers In:
- Marco Reus, £40m
- Raphael Varane, £20m
- Petr Cech, £10m
- William Carvalho, £10m

Transfers Out:
- Joel Campbell, £8m
- Lukas Podolski, £6m
- Per Mertesacker, £6m
- Yaya Sanogo, £6m - Abou Diaby, free

Loans Out:
- Bellerin, mid-table PL team (if Jenko comes back)
- Szczesny, mid-table PL team

Net spend around £54m.

The plan would then be to have Cech challenge Ospina for the #1 spot for the season, with Szczesny learning some new moves elsewhere.

Then pair Koscielny and Varane as our first-choice CB partnership, with Gabriel and Chambers as the third-choice options. If Jenkinson comes back, have him as backup for Debuchy and send Bellerin on loan to further his skill set. The Monreal-Gibbs option will continue on the left, with the former preferred against stronger teams.

Coquelin keeps his place as first-choice DM, with William Carvalho as second-choice. The secondary CM position is filled to the brim with possible options, so no worries there. Ramsey, Wilshere, Cazorla, Ox, Arteta, Flamini, Rosicky, etc.

On the right flank, Sanchez is first-choice with Oxlade-Chamberlain as deputy. Theo Walcott is also a contender, but will struggle to get pitch time with Reus and Sanchez in the side. On the left, Reus will be first-choice by a mile, as we don't have any natural left wingers in the side.

Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla then battle it out for the #10 position, based on form and opposition.

Up front it's Giroud as first-choice, with Welbeck alternating. If those two are injured we have plenty of options...Sanchez, Reus, Theo, etc.

In other words:

Two spaces gets every time... You're asking for too much changes. Won't happen. I have the most realistic (bar Reus) transfer window by far. Just admit it's perfect.

Please, Khedira is essentially a German Diaby. Big Morgs is the guy

(I'd sell Szczesny or loan him out as well if we got Cech)

I think he had that one long injury. Don't recall him having any other issues...

An injury like that at his age has led to multiple injuries thereafter. Besides, he's a box-to-box midfielder and we've got plenty of them. We need a holding man.

Schneiderlin doesn't hold back from going forward as well.

Tbh I just don't like Khedira. Especially with the wages he'll be demanding. I don't know what Arsene's gonna do in the Summer but as long as he gets in a body who is a proper DM then I'm not fussed.

He'll demand wages but he's for free...

Schneiderlin will cost at least 20 million quid + his wags which will be about 80-90k a week? 4 year contract I'm guessing. That's about 190k per week.

Again since his cruciate injury he's been on/off for fitness regularly. Too much of a gamble for me, I can't recall Morgan getting injured at all apart from recently for Southampton and he's used to the Prem.

My wish list from 2014/2015 is for 2015/2016

• Reus
  
• Schneiderlin
  

For me
Transfer Out:- Arteta, Per, Flamini, Diaby, Martinez, Mozart

Transfer In:- RAHEEM STERLING exchange Theo if we have to. Rues\Stephan El Shaarawy,
Schneiderlin\Sven\Lars Bender either one, Raphael Varane,

Reus & Schneiderlin

Would be two great additions! And I actually think are realistic as well. Reus would cost a fair whack but he is pretty good at football!

I think in regard to selling players, I would cash in on Cambell and Podolski mainly. Can't see either of them getting a place in the team. I still have some hope for Szczers... Just a really long dip in form...right...

With the Sterling rumours today, I believe they are probably his agent trying to put pressure on Liverpool to increase the ££. I think he is good, but whos place would he take in the team?

Definitely realistic, although I'm not sure why we'd get Schneiderlin. Coquelin is a much better DM, and Schneiderlin wouldn't want to be backup. If the idea is to play him next to Coquelin, we have much better options there, too. If we're looking for a first choice DM/B2B we shouldn't be dipping our toes in the second tier. We should be going for world class. Pogba, etc.

Or we could just sign James Milner and win every trophy on the planet.

I would assume he would go on the left wing, if our interest is genuine? We're severely lacking left wingers at the club.

Definitely

I thought he wanted to play central? The one position we really don't need a player!
