Summer transfer thread

Strange as in very,very unlikely.

His contract still has 5 years to run so he will not come cheap. Very, very unlikely as you say

[southernboy]

Ings has turned down a 4 year contract extension at Southampton because he wants to test himself at a higher level. Arsenal surely.

Smacks of an Everton signing if he goes for that. Though not sure it would be a Benitez signing.

"Look at us, look at us, we're relevant" vibes.

He signed him at Inter.

Italian/ex Serie A midfielders and the Premier league go together like shit in a sandwich.

Depends really doesn't it. Plenty have come from that league and not justified their price tag. They generally don't tend to fair well over here.

Except Paul Pogba

But in the last 3 seasons he has played almost the same number of games as our captain - who nobody would call shit - surely? EDIT not saying you are but plenty of people do… And Pogba has scored 4 times as many goals and has more than double the assists.

Just goes to show how perception and fact are so often at odds.

He clearly hasn’t enjoyed his time at old toilet that much by his standard but his standards are very high. Imagine them without him.

I was only joking really. Some people think he's worth £90 million, some people think he's shit. Mourinho was probably in the latter camp

[Steveo]

I get that you were joking. Mourinho seems to have lot the plot.

I still think it is crazy for people to say he is shit - he has been pretty darned good to be fair even at United - he hasn't turned them into world beaters but he was never going to all by himself. They overpaid for him for sure and he doesn't seem to be very happy there. I guess that's about where it is.

Think his value is about right @ £54 Million
