Summer Transfer Rumour Thread.

What are they going to pay him with? A 6-pack of Golden Wonder from the local 99p store?

 

tbf, South of England could be Reading or a London Club.

 

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footb...n-target-alexander-buttner-the-vitesse-944677 We're in for this lad apparently. Anyone know anything about him?

 

Only that he was included in the Dutch Euro provisional squad, and that he's a left-sided midfielder/full back, more often the latter than the former. Which is to say that he's certainly talented, but doesn't make a tremendous amount of sense as a target for us.

 

Sorry, muddled the derby striker with the Rangers player.

 

Poor lad, looking like that at 23.

 

I like this one because it makes absolutely no sense.

Anyway, I had a look round some Birmingham forums yesterday and there is a bit of a mixed opinion. A lot of people are saying that if they got £6m for him, got Myhill permanently and had change to improve their squad, they would be happy, bearing in mind this is a player who has never played for them and probably isn't experienced for a first team slot yet. The main concern is that they would never see the money again, which from what I have read about the owners is probably reasonable. Personally I am not that convinced that the media have got the story right this time, I'd be delighted if we signed him but perfectly happy if we got a different keeper as well.

 

Apparently reports of a rejected £6m bid is way off the mark.

Toy Husband and Simon Peach have confirmed this.

What dot they know...?

 

Judging by their history, not a lot.

 

Reading have signed Danny Guthrie, good move there.

 

Very wise.

 

It's coz we'll get Steven Davies

 

Davis. I can see that being annoying already.

 

Wouldn't be a bad signing, average of over 30 in ODIs is pretty decent.

Unless you're talking about the Derby player, he's ****.

 

I'm quite disappointed we have not picked up Guthrie. He ticked all the right boxes in my mind.

He must have been after stupid wages as I can't believe we didn't have a look.

 

Where are the new signings that NA suggested would be here by now? was Guthrie one of them..?

 

Didn't he only say he would like a couple of faces in? Maybe we're in talks now.

 

Pogneyrbak (spelling??) and guthrie... couple of great signings from reading. Worrying stuff

 

Why does everyone think Pogrebnyak is a great signing? He's had one good run of form in his career and that was for Fulham, and most Fulham fans admit he was distinctly average after his first few games.

 

This.

And today he freely admitted his move was money motivated!
