Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Unbelievable this mind. It feels like we’ve skipped ahead a season or two in signings

 

yeh that’s what I was saying yesterday. Feels like we’re making signings once we’ve already established and want to push on

 

Exciting that Diarra is getting announced tonight

 

According to reports in Spain, Sunderland are willing to offer a loan proposal for Real Madrid's Gonzalo Garcia with a mandatory purchase option that could top £17 million.

No idea how reliable this bloke is. By that I mean the journo not the player.

 

I know you all like these.

Comprehensively our best player, and currently listed as the 18th best LB in the world.

Talk about level up.

The last 80 rated player I can remember is having on there?

Trick question, we haven’t had one (excluding weekly cards)

Had a few before they joined (Defoe at Spurs, Cana at Marseille) and after they left (most notably the 2 Jordans, Hendo peaking at 86)

 

Please post links with your info

Seems we’ve signed a left back a lot better than angelino and for free

marvellous

 

you not familiar with hyperlinks like?

 

Doubt he’ll have been on 20k plus at Strasbourg at his age. Probably more like 45k now at a guess.

 

was a story posted by a big spanish source yesterday

 

Apologies, I’m a clot

 

Here we ****ing go indeed. Some serious business getting done

 

(Doh)

 

It's the perfect balance. Cirkin doesn't seem to ever be fit enough to play a whole season. This lad is 31, only played about 1500 minutes last season (17 full games) and has AFCON so won't be expecting to be guaranteed a start. We have healthy competition where neither will be guaranteed 1st choice, both will be fine with some time on the bench. Reinaldo with a lot of pace and better defensively, Cirkin stronger going forward and with huge potential to grow into a top class left back over the next couple of years.

 

Definitely need competition at RB. In fact more than we did at LB in my opinion.

 

So two “here we go”s.

Diarra was first reported by Guardian then Alan Nixon

Reinildo first reported by… wait for it… TalkSport

Exactly this mate. And Corks can learn from the lad.

Fact he can play CB is helpful also.

 

Yeh I don’t think Cirkin is going to suddenly want to leave because of this. He’ll see it as a challenge and a chance to learn and improve.

It’s not like he’s going to get a premier league starting berth somewhere else so he’d only be leaving for a championship move or a backup role somewhere else.

Makes much more sense for him to stay here and fight for his place.

 

You can imagine RLB tucking him in on the left side of 3 CB and putting Cirkin at left back to try and lock down some points late in games.

The African Hjelde! Lets hope he's got the same vibes.
