Summer Transfer Rumour Thread.

We may have wanted any of those players, but if our bids failed we wouldn't be told.

 

Perhaps it is best to judge the transfer window, after it has finished.

 

Out of that list I'd have taken Hoilett and maybe Bassong. It's debatable whether even they will be worth what is being spent on them though.

And Fran's right, we might have made hundreds of enquiries for all we know.

 

We need two cb's not one , a goalkeeper possibly ? Forster but would he come ? A left back . An attacking midfielder . A winger with pace .

 

the same forster that recently signed for celtic a couple of weeks ago

 

Two CBs and a Winger with pace

Regarding midfielders I think we have more than enough in the squad.

 

We need one CB and either an attacking mid or winger. We could definitely use a left back, an extra CB, and an additional attacking mid/winger. Only the first two are definite needs, though.

 

Yes .

 

Dear Markus,
Please ask God to tell Cortese to get us some centre backs because he may listen to him.
Thanks in advance,
Panicky, Isle of Wight.

 

Hoilett's wage demands were off the scale I think. Hence why he's at QPR. If you ask me, I think we will sign one winger (Phillips?) and one defender. Not sure why there is still talk about a left back, sorry to break it to you but Fox is gonna be first choice.

 

I think there is talk of a left-back because Fox was shown to be out of his depth at times last season and has shown signs of continuing in that vein this, and of course we were trying to sign Buttner. I think at the least he needs more support from the left winger.

I'm pretty surprised Hoilett stayed in England to be honest, especially at a club like QPR, so I'm sure you're right about his wages.

 

Then why were we looking at Buttner and now olsson from Blackburn?

Fox is ok but id like to see more of Luke Shaw and a couple of CBs in along with Phillips and Ramirez.

 

To be fair, Olsson is just paper talk. We know a bid was lodged with Vitesse at the very least.

 

I'm quite looking forward to the next five days. I fully expect at least two players to come in, maybe even three (I'd be very surprised if any more than three came in though, even though we could maybe do with a fourth), so I'm just going to sit back, enjoy Mon and Tues off work, and watch the various rumours and stories develop over these five days.

 

Signing one will be on Tuesday.

Signing two and three will be on Friday.




Heard it here first

 

I meant why are we being linked with left backs. Plus we know that the Buttner situation was a real enquiry.

I personally would be happy letting Shaw come through but if Adkins see's it as a weakness then I would not disagree.

I think we will bring in 3 players at the very least next week and everyone will be happy again.

 

I don't know. Why were we being linked to Goodwillie, Mackie and Leon Best? We didn't need any more strikers.

 

I have exactly the same view, except the first player will be Wednesday after the Cup game.

 

I thnk we could probably do with a striker if I'm honest, didn't look dangerous at all yesterday.

 

We have enough good strikers but we need to get them in the right position and get the ball to them. The problem is not in the front line but further back.
