Summer 2013 Transfer Rumour Thread

Thats pretty strong for a fan of a club that signed Anthony Pulis, Tommy Forecast and Ali Dia.

 

We didn't fork out £8m for the privilege though, did we...

 

One follower. Find it unlikely.

 

There's a difference between worst player we've had and worst signing we've made.

 

I have no problems with signing players with high expectations and price tags. The problem is that I don't have high expectations of Bueno, especially for that sort of money.

 

Yeah, like the others have said, they can't be considered our worst signings when they cost us next to nothing.

 

Tommy Forecast was signed as part of the exchange for forfeiting the Gareth Bale sell on %!

 

What's it say?

 

Go back a million pages, I even came up with a crap song about a chocolate bar, should we sign him

 

You guys seen this?

@MarkReeves999 Not gone that far yet. If it does I will do a tale. But its the POINT rather than the PLAYER that struck me ...

@reluctantnicko @MarkReeves999 Is the caps giving us a clue who it is?

@Joelp96 @MarkReeves999 No. I was just stressing that the point is u have started looking at someone new. Suggests 'old' target off.

@reluctantnicko @Joelp96 @MarkReeves999 would it be Leroy Fer?

 

"Damiao will fly to England on Tuesday, where he will sign a 5 year deal with Southampton. £19.1m is the fee. #saintsfc"

 

Cheers can't see attachments on my phone. Doubt it was even worth you telling me tho.

 

Signed a 5 year contract and made the grand total of zilch appearances.

To think Bueno could be our worst ever signing is a tad premature seeing he hasn't even put one through the door yet.

 

Domiao rumor too good to be true! if we cant land Wanyama/Nainggolan ect then i cant see us securing Learnardo Domiao...

 

So if rumors are to be believed I'd say its one of Banega, Domaio or Stoch.
Seeing as I'm least excited about Stoch I expect it to be him.

 

Well it would appear from those Nixon tweets that we are looking at other targets for CM than Wanyama, which is good. Depends what he means by "new" target if it is somebody like Banega or Nainggolan who we have said we haven't bid for or if it is somebody else we haven't been linked to at all.

How is Pulis getting on in America? Could be his glorious return

 

The only thing about the Leandro Damiao link that makes me think that it might (perhaps, maybe, theoretically) be possible is that he plays in Brazil and could potentially want a move to Europe.

I doubt Nixon's new guy is Nainggolan. He (the player) said a couple of weeks ago we'd already made him an offer.

 

So...what box-to-box midfielders out there might be realistic for us?

 

Leroy Fer.
