The time has come :)
So what do you think has got to be done in the summer regarding ins and outs?

Looks good, explosive pace, built like a brick shit house and a thunderous shot.

Not meaning to sound too negative about the Duran deal. But he is hardly established. 5 Premier league goals. For that money can we not get someone more experienced with a bit more pedigree.
Is he any good?

To risk the wrath of others on here, it's an awful lot for someone with 5 Premier League goals to his name.
But it does seem like he barely started for them (3 games?), so you'd imagine he'd be Hungry Like the Wolf.

Although KWP can also play on the left, not sure AWB does

Think it will be one of KWP or AWB coming in at right back, i'd take either to be fair.

Hardly surprising we've gone back to freshly relegated Burnley to buy their winger after Cornet worked out so well when we did it last time.

Larsen for £8m seems to be getting a lot of mentions today.

I think there will be a pause in serious firm offers this week (maybe striker and another centre-back apart). Lopetegui will be making final judgements on who he wants to keep e.g, Downes Ings Coufal etc, and what youngsters he can use based on what he sees out in Austria. After which firm offers will be made for the targets that are lined up,

Point taken and agreed, that makes sense.
It's not that it's a bad or overpriced signing as such, but yes perhaps some of the excited is on hold until we see the depth of the squad improve.
I think the likes of Ineacho and Zaha is just (hopefully) lazy journalism. They reak of DS / DM style transfers and they don't sound like the sort of signing we would expect from Steidten.
Time will tell, I guess.

Kadioglu was born and brought up in Holland, actually played for Holland up to U19s I believe so the usual Turk failings probably won’t apply to him.

Turks and North Africans dont generally travel well to the premier league, mostly flops. I would avoid them all.

Got a feeling this Turkish LB won’t be as pumped up when playing in a foreign league. Be nice to be proved wrong though as he is some player, so long may it continue as long as that club is not a PL club I detest, of which there are a good few.

Not sure I want Iheanacho. I really hope he isn’t going to be out starting striker.

Pipe dream I know but my god, Turkey’s LWB Ferdi Kadioglu is some player. Be interesting to see where he goes on to when he is inevitably snapped up.

I think you're missing the point Scott
What I was saying is that concerns about the depth and quality of the squad are probably tempering the enthusiasm for this signing. It was a suggestion as to why the reaction has been so reserved. If all those other gaps are plugged before the end of the window I'm sure that most fans will be totally behind it.
For the rest of the window I want to see Steidten earn his corn... not rumoured interest in Wilson, Zaha etc

Re: Official Transfer rumours and gossip thread
I think onsideman is right.
If we had bought a decent RB, a new LW and striker THEN bought Kilman for £40m. We'd be far more impressed with our purchases. "We've filled all these gaps and the board are still spending £40m on a defender the new manager really wants, even though he's maybe not worth the money. They're really backing him"
---
That's not how it works though.
The manager wanted Killman and he was available, does the board tell him to wait until he has filled the other positions? We've dithered so much in the past, and scrimped on transfer fees to the point that it's driven us mad and we've missed out on players - then been forced to fight for scraps in the final few weeks and days of the transfer window.
Here we are, backing the manager on his priority signings, getting big deals done early and still we're not happy.
Let's not jump to conclusions about what this means for other transfers when there is still about 2 months of the window left to fill the gaps.

Walker Peters said last season that he enjoyes playing with Downes and was desperate to play with him again this season (for Saints I would imagine) so bringing WP in and keeping Downes would make sense.
Downes fits perfectly into the Lop possession style of play and he should be a must keep unless we buy someone better in the position. Garcia would have been that player but there are other priorities in the squad now when we have Downes to fill that role.

I guess it's about player profile. He'll be 29 in 5 months and if you strip out the one season in Turkey and last year in Spain, his stats are all unremarkable.
Was last season a flash in the pan or is he a later developing gem? We'll see... although his €30m plus release clause may end the debate before it's begun
