Summer Transfer Rumour Thread.

Sounds like speculation based on Adkins being at the playoff final to me. He is a very promising player though and I hope it's true!

 

Exactly this!

I thought Ince looked a lot better than Phillips over the last 6 weeks of the season. More pacy, more tricky and more direct. But I'd take either!

 

I can definitely see us finally unloading Puncheon, as despite the 'kiss and make up' he has once again quickly fallen out of favour for one reason or another. It's also feasible that we would offer him to Blackpool as they were interested in him after his loan spell there.

Also heard we were after the technically gifted serge pizzorno?

 

I hope you're joking!

 

I might have been Although if I put it on the football rumours website it would probably fool a few!

Brilliant goal though

 

If Saints get Ince, as he's only 20 he doesn't have to take up any of the 25 squad positions either!

 

any strong rumors?

 

He's not very good. Always been good on FM but never been very good in real life.

 

I change it lol just signed for cardiff!!!!!!

 

And Paul Jones has gone to Crawley. Peterborough going down the Portsmouth route of having no goalkeepers.

 

Wouldn't be a bad spot for Bart to land.

 

Would be good but methinks he will be off back to Poland/Germany. Didn't he nearly go to Portugal? I'm sure there will be a good club angling for him somewhere.

 

I'd love it if we signed Tom Ince! He's just what we need - pace, skill and can play on either wing.

 

I see Rhodes is linked with Fulham for £5m. Thta's a lot of money for some-one unproven at even Championship level.

 

I'm sure there will be, but tending goal for Peterborough would allow him to make up for lost time...he might see as many shots in a season as most keepers do in three.

 

I just had a thought... I may be being stupid here but, when was the last time we actually signed a player from a division or two below us? We've all been banging on about who we can now snap up from the Championship (i.e. Ince, Rodriguez etc) but I remember thinking the same about swooping on League One's "hidden gems" last year.

 

I see what you mean, but there's a bit of a difference between players in league one and those knocking on the door of the premier league.

Also when we were promoted to the championship we were looking at players who could do a job in the PL, now we are still looking at players who could do a job in the PL, so in that sense, our targets might not be so different.

 

It is, though it's probably a worthwhile gamble nonetheless. Stylistically, he's probably a better fit in many regards than an imported striker who perhaps has higher-level experience, and for a mid-tier team like Fulham he makes sense...if he fails, it's a significant failure but probably not fatal, if he succeeds they have a young center forward whose skill-set and physical attributes make him a good fit for the PL.

 

Sigurdsson signing permanently for Swansea. There goes that pipe dream.

 

Fairplay to him, sure he could have courted some bigger clubs. Good to see players who are treated well rewarding the clubs that have given them their chance!
