Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

After that utter clanger by Brandon Austin against Wycombe yesterday, I can't see this being sanctioned somehow...

 

Why would we loan him , we got him to cover Vicario as we did not see Austin stepping up , an injury to Vic and we are back in the **** again

 

Maybe, Frank's not hugely impressed. From his appearances so far, I get why. Apart from his debut, he looked like he was struggling.

Given that Vic isn't without his own faults, a safe pair of hands wouldn't be a bad idea, whilst Kinsky learns at an appropriate level. Buying young goalkeepers always carries a risk.

It all depends upon how flush we are expecting to be, given that COYS Daniel is aiming to win stuff, a reliable top goalkeeper would be a good starting point.

 

Matt Law has finished gooning away at his keyboard and says that Rangers is the most likely destination for Mikey Moore's loan

 

If Kinsky's being offered regular football by Lille then this would make perfect sense.
He's 22 and would learn a lot from regular Ligue 1 and Europa League football.

Would this be the case, though? I'm not 100%, but the rumour is that their keeper is joining PSG.
Lucas Chevalier played 48 games for them in all competitions last season and he's 23.
If he stays, then I seriously doubt that Kinsky displaces him.
The ancient Vito Mannone was their backup and he made 3 appearances.

Lille have also signed a Belgian called Arnaud Bodart and given him the number 1 shirt.
He's 27 and spent the arse end of the last campaign at Metz, joining Lille on a free this month.
Our man may have to fight for his place, but that might not be a bad thing if he wins.

If he does go, then how do we replace him?
Assuming Austin is 3rd choice, then do we get in backup or push Vicario?
Maignan swap with Milan? Lunin from Madrid's bench? Not that much out there.

 

Don't do the ****ing flute celebration Mikey, FFS.

 

Couple of reports saying LAFC are advancing in talks for Sonny and that he’ll decide his future after the friendly next week.

Sounds like the club’s allowing Sonny to make the decision too which I think he’s earned after what he’s done for us.

Personally I hope he stays another year because I still feel he has it in him in the right system but equally with a new manager in charge, a complete fresh start with practically all of Pochettino’s remnants now gone (all respect to Davies but I doubt he plays more than 5-10 games this season if he stays), if there’s a time for Sonny to leave then perhaps now is it, especially after captaining us to European glory.

 

Interesting interview.

 

Would now be a bad time to mention Mikey reportedly grew up a Millwall fan...?

 

I don`t rate any of our GK`s as good enough, Vicario is a very good shot stopper but is ordinary with his feet and flaps like a shietehouse door in the wind at set pieces. Kinsky is also a flapper from the little we have seen and has looked dodgy at times, Austin lets the ball through his legs, which is unforgivable.

 

The biggest issue with signing a backup keeper if Kinsky gets a loan is that, logically, we need somebody who is a reliable backup who will count as a free hit towards our HG numbers, and there's slim pickings in that regard

Angus Gunn and John Ruddy are probably the pick of the bunch, and honestly I'd say both were downgrades on Fraser Forster

 

Jack Butland?
