Summer transfer thread

yeh mine goes daft at times, sometimes into settings and log out-refresh DNS-log back in works...when it really acts up i unplug it for a few mins then plug back in, seems to cure most.

 

Cheers both. He's one of the fittest people I know now and he's been brought up right, so we both go to the match. He loves it. Proper fanatical.

 

Well I might be exaggerating. But that lot up there certainly are not! They are just a blot on the civilised earth, existing ow only to honour an odious Islamic fanatic.

 

Hopefully should get an update from Neil today on the state of play

Reading between the lines I’d assume prem loans/fringe players we’re looking at for up top, broadhead perm and parrot loan? Just a guess like

 

Disappointed to see him leave the PL. Quality player

 

Do well for a club who owe tens of millions of pounds in players wages.. talk about corruption

 

Bang on. It’s ridiculous

 

Them and Madrid ****ing stink of corruption but nothing is or ever will be done.

 

Barcelona are a ****ing horrible club.

 

Barcelona have restructured their debts over a much longer period. I believe they are also in receipt of some sort of loan/ grant from the Catalan Palrliament, though I'm not sure about that. Madrid are definitely in receipt of a loan from the Spamish Government, and it is much larger.

The football in Spain is wholly corrupted by the desire of influential people to see them remain powerful. It's bad enough here and getting worse, but in Spain it is grotesque. At the Bernabau for God's sake, they spent over £500m on the ground without adding a single seat!

Expecting a similar window to last summer with more activity towards the end, luckily this time around our first 11 (on paper) is a solid one

 

Cardiff’s 10th free transfer of the summer…

 

Compared to how we finished last season we are slightly down on numbers.


Burge and Hoffmann have not been replaced.

Ballard replaces Doyle.
Xhemajli has gone.
1 or 2 down in the defence.

McGeady has gone.
Is Diamond his replacement.

Broadband may or may not come back.
Defoe will not be back.

Im sure we will be signing a few more and so far, we have made good signings.
I do think we need a bigger pool for the first team than last season and to make use of the increased number of subs allowed.
Do under 21’s or young players not count in the squad and can we have unlimited young’uns?

 

The FA Cup game at Ayrsome & replay at Feethams (85-86) was absolutely mental.
I remember it well

 

We haven't even replaced Flanagan yet haha

 

essentially Pattinson replaces one of Hoffman and Burge. We don't need 3 keepers as we have good prospects in U23s (and there's always emergency loans)

 

I think Spurs trip to Korea ends Saturday.

 

We will sign gk, cb, lb, cm and 2 forward players in my opinion. The youngsters don't need to be registered if they are under 21 years old. I think we are after Iverson, Parrott and Broadhead. Would love us to be in for Bellingham from Birmingham. That would leave the 2 defenders to sort out
