Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

My thoughts too

 

If he wants some level of parity I back him tbh. But he is fighting one of footies last great oddities - home grown lads have to leave to earn the top dollar on offer. It is a mad outcome of PSR. Whatever he does I will never ever criticise his purported motives. Folk will guess like they did with Watson. Neil brought this club back from the wilderness as skipper, aided and abetted by a motley crew of rag tag lads. Now they get to play and earn as they see fit and owe us nothing at all. The six or seven from league one will always be complete heroes to me.

 

West Ham at home. Remember it well

 

Hope he gets over it soon

 

He's just going to keep rolling.

He’s always had a cracking left peg.

 

I definitely don’t, mind. PL experience has always been hugely overpriced in my head.

 

Away from the Xhaka rumour

Carlos Forbs is set to join Club Brugge from Ajax, here we go! Deal done for €8.5m fee.

Really intrigued to see how Forbs gets on over there, I had high hopes when I scouted him years ago for City's youth team but never really kicked on. Ridiculous pace, really explosive and has lovely balance about him. Hope he kicks on in Belgium

 

Well IF we can get him, then clearly he will be the best we can get.

And if he isn't a "standout", so what? We aren't going to have many if any players who are that in the PL.

In all honesty , I'd settle for being good, and I very much think he'll be a serious asset to any promoted team. Especially one that has spent eight years outside of it

 

I think we are still a club with tradition at its heart. Kyril gets it. The FA Cup remains second only to the title. Give me that ahead of second place every day of the week. Sod the money. Give me the romance as a fan.

 

This gives off vibes of us and them both turning up at the airport and scrapping it out for him.
Hopefully KLD sends his big, ex-SAS bodyguard

 

What do you want?

 

Odds are defo in my favour. There’s a lot of footballers out there

But aye. Hope he’s a cracker for us.

 

I just fail to see how anyone that wanted Henderson could turn their nose up at xhaka.

 

Now that is something I definitely agree with. Experience in general I've never really bought into.

 

Am I allowed to be someone who turned my nose up at Henderson but wants Xhaka?

 

There's definitely a lot of footballers that's true, season before last I genuinely would have put him in my top 10 defensive midfielders in the world.

But I just love his genre of footballer so that helps with some bias.

 

Coz he’s one of us?

But yeah.

never in my wildest dreams could I ever see us linked to liked Xhaka
