Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours Thread

I know f*ck all about him bar the hype. Sounds like the sort of player we need but it sounds an awful lot of money for someone who's not widely known. Remember how pissed off some were when we never signed Capoue

 

David Ornstein reporting we're talking with Falcao now.

 

It's a fake Ornstein Twitter account but even the BBC Sports page has been duped by it.

 

Ha, all record of the story's existence has disappeared from BBC now!

 

The real Ornstein has now said no striker this window, might get a cb

 

You think he should waste your money on a player who is worse than his current options? Why?
I think he slightly over-rates your current squad but other than that he does a great job for you. If we'd signed him up all those years ago we'd be laughing at you right now.

 

You seem to be under the impression that a striker worse than Sanogo exists. You sir, are misinformed.

 

Are we trying resign Park Chu Yung?

 

****er of the week award goes to the prick who created the false David Ornstein Twitter account.

Runner up: Arsene Wenger

 

He also made no denial when asked about a forward or Falco for that matter,for whatever that's worth.

 

Starting to look worryingly like we're not even going to sign a CB...

 

I think we'll get a CB though I expect Chambers performances at CB have eased the concern a little.
AW has been banging on all Summer about needing a CB so I'm expecting him to have options, the trouble is that when a club like Arsenal enquire for a player the price is through the roof, and then as you reach the end of the window the selling club are more prepared to negotiate.
We'll get someone....

 

Chambers has been brilliant to be honest. He's an absolutely brilliant signing. At 19 he already looks top quality.

Still think we need a fourth Centreback though.

 

Completely agree, and I expect most would, but his transition into CB has given us options/cover.
I wonder where Woy will play him next week....

 

If he plays for England it will be at RB looking at the players chosen

 

Ornstein said earlier this week that he thought we'd buy a player who could play CB,DM etc and this morning we're being linked with Sokratis of Dortmund.

 

We will get a defensive player no doubt. I'm sure they are just closing in on their target.

 

I can't see anyone else who can play right back in the squad, except Jones possibly?

 

Sounds like Song is going to be introduced at West Ham today, another one who was stupid to leave when a bigger boy came calling

 

Question ... will Dortmund sell Sokratis to us now that they have to face us in the Champions League?
