Brucey's Summer Shopping List

[lewisc29]

He starting on the left mid according to Sky, interestingly Rhodes is on the bench for Scotland and instead Leigh Griffiths is starting - he might be worth a punt had an excellent season in Scotland , and Wolves might be forced to sell cheap as the league they are now in (he might even be out of contract)

Finally McGregor is also starting, good chance to look at him as haven't seem him for awhile, should really be tested against a quality team like Croatia - wonder if Bruce is watching?

This the same McGregor we've apparently agreed a fee for?

Jordan Rhodes on for the Scots.

Maybe, if it's just for football league clubs, I wouldn't have thought that we'd have anything to do with it. I'm not sure that AA would just openly announce to people that players have signed, but then again he is quite eccentric. Interesting if true.

We're still officially a Football League club until the middle of the month.

Not with regard to the football league meeting we're not, the clubs that will be affected get to vote, not the ones who won't be involved.

4 or 6 might need more than that, but it depends on who we get.

Did anyone else hear Nick Thompson on Burnsys show this morning? I didn't hear it all but I did hear him say that he isn't expecting any new signings for a couple of weeks, though they are working on between 4 and 6 new players coming in. Also stated that we are very close to sorting out Chesters new contract.

Yeah, but more importantly Chezzies girlfriend says we have no cause to worry!

, its nice to see that DJ is without a club, shows what a short-termed individual he is

So very true. DJ needs to get new management for a start.

Birmingham Mail saying (guessing) we'll offer money plus Jack Hobbs for Curtis Davies

Jack Hobbs is the likeliest contender, but I'd honestly offer them Alex Bruce. Out of all our defenders, Alex Bruce comes across as the least likely to succeed in the Premier League.

Brady's Bunch won't be happy with that if true...


Also, Hobbs would be the least likely, surely? Alex Bruce would make most sense.



EDIT: Bloody hell, Candy.

Exactly, having Jack Hobbs, James Chester, Paul McShane, Abdoulaye Faye and Curtis Davies as the defending options would be great!

You're right, but I think that if Steve Bruce was willing to play his son in midfield to get him into the team (where he was hopeless), I highly doubt he's going to sell him.

I'm too quick fella!

I think he would let Alex go if it meant he wasn't doing sweet FA here with us.

Today, the HDM is linking us with Gary O'Neil and David Bentley.

I remember when Bentley was good. Long time ago now.

 

[Amin Arrears]

Bullshit, Bruce is an admirer of Hobbs and has acknowledged him as our team captain before, never going to happen.

I get the feeling Brucey is looking for another James Chester like centrehalf to play on the other side of Hobbs in a back 3.

If we're going to strengthen at the back why swap our best centerback for another one? Makes no sense at all.

I see Jack Barmby has been offered a professional contract by Man United.

Would anyone have him here on loan?

Perhaps SB sees it as an opportunity to improve his defensive options whilst making sure that his son remains in full employment at a good club and at a level that shouldn't find him wanting? Sounds like a sensible way out of a difficult situation.

Maybe if we were still in the Championship. I can't see the point in taken a new kid on the block and throwing him in at the deep end.

He'll go out on loan to somewhere like Leicester probably since as Nigel has 'really good' connections with Manchester United.
