Transfer goss and rumours, Summer 2016.

It really does beggar belief that we are just three days away from the start of the season and have yet to make any significant signings. We have one striker who's any good and half a defence which will soon be decimated further with the departure of Ollsson. There can be no excuses, we've had 4 out of 5 seasons in the Prem, we have money but refuse to pay the going rate.

 

I really can't believe we have the first game of the season in a few days and yet again there is no CB or CF signings. It really is unbelievable that they haven't even signed one by accident!

 

Now, now General you mustn't slag off Saint Delia or you'll be Court Martialed

 

Where's Dave? He's bound to be able to put a positive spin on all this

 

The Daily Fail was the same source that said definitely that we had put in a £12m bid for McCormack. I think I'll wait and see on this one. That's about how positive I can get on this one KIO.

 

I think he will compare Carlton Morris to Aguero. Seeing as though the other day he was comparing Toffolo to Rooney and Owen.

 

So, if these bids for Olsson and Brady come to fruition, we'll have lost Redmond and Martin (to injury) down the right hand side and Olsson and Brady down the left.
I hope Plan B includes playing the entire season with an extremely narrow midfield, Murphy twins excepted

 

BTW, has anyone been on the pink'un site lately?
I imagine it's delirium - if not world war three on there!

 

I'll pop over and take a look

A little gift for our resident pants-wetters!

 

Much the same as on here really, just missing the odd happy clapping ncfc arse licker unlike us

 

Love how all the " bids" for players are followed on Sky Sports with the odds on them moving

Wonder how much money they make out of people betting money they have not got on deals they know nowt about!

 

We should never have even been considering paying that much for an ageing Championship striker, whose value to us in the long term would have been dubious at the very least. Far better to have kept our attentions on Assombalonga, which according to reports we seem to be returning to, who in the long term, ought to be far more beneficial, and at a lower price. Just as long as we don´t take a month to sort that one out, as well

 

Nothing wrong with that, excellent move for him.

I don´t honestly think offering £12 mill in this case, is ´offering well below players´valuations`. On the contrary, McCormack has been grossly overrated and overpriced.

 

I do realise that, and I agree that we shouldn't be held to ransom, as it were. But it has just seemed to become another "all one's eggs in one basket" scenario, a little like Brady last summer and Naismith back in December. Shoddy transfer dealings - and if we're not careful, we'll get such a bad rap it will become even harder to attract decent players here.

They exist to raise our spirits !

 

I think what perhaps surprises me most this summer, so far, is the near complete lack of transfer rumours.

Canos was rumoured, signed, our pursuit of McCormack has been well documented, then Assombalonga, Accam, perhaps Pritchard, but is that it?

I know it's not fashionable to make up rumours for non-Premier League clubs, but I would've expected more. Perhaps our club have silenced the leaks from previous windows that became tentative rumours, but I can't even think of any dubious twitter rumours from abroad this summer.
