Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

We'll spend 20+ at least twice is what I probably should've said.

Those will be probably be from abroad, unless something in the prem comes up which we can't turn down.

 

the only reason I’m not that confident that we will, is like Cam says, all our links are for good but cheaper players. Now they might just be because that’s what’s leaked. But you’d expect more expensive deals to be more likely to leak, not less likely. So it stands to (some) reason that we are focusing on better value players. At least currently.

 

Just had a look at that Baradji.

Bit of a beast isn’t he. Him and Bischoff feel like proper Brighton type signings.

Shame about the source

 

Always liked him. Will be an excellent tfr for Fulham if they get him, or a few prem teams to be honest.

 

Fulham is probably his level.

As a ex city and Arsenal player you’d imagine his wages would probably be unreasonable for us versus the quality he brings

 

i personally think cirkin will still be a a sunderland player at the end of the window

could still do with another LB on Top of him and i think the club will be looking,

Also think it will be a little bit silent until this potential new Dof is in and all sorted . personally think though depending on how that plans out, can see speakman leaving in the next year

 

completely agree, this does feel unfortunately possible

 

Be a sad day when he does go but sometimes people feel like they've done everything they could do and fancy a new challenge.

I won't be surprised if he's been upfront with KLD about his plans as they seem to have a great relationship

 

There could be many scenarios of course, he could be glad of help.

 

The lad is only 21! is that Benjani years?
Big step up from where he's been playing mind but looks as if he's got a lot going for him.

 

Knowing absolutely nowt about him, we need to be padding out the squad with this ‘type’ of deal. It’s like the Merlin link that we’ve just been talking about. If we spend £20m on a left back when we already have cirkin at the club we want our heads read. Different matter if Dennis is off, but we have to get the vast majority of our spend onto the pitch. That’s how we’ll be successful. A handful of deals in the £2-5m range for squad depth is exactly what we need to surround our big swings with.

 

That’ll be another very good player in Saudi

 

Yeah he's physically a great player to have around, needs a bit of nurturing but good value - 24 though but late bloomer.

 

While this sort of signing will always be considered a bit of a shot to nothing, I will always remember the fact that Didier Drogba was a jobbing Ligue 2 striker with no particular record to his name until near to his 24th birthday. Sometimes players with incredible physical gifts take a while to get going. And we will always need to h e our eyes out for an undervalued bargain. These sort of players from nowhere really can take off rapidly - particularly when they’ve been playing off the beaten track. It’s why I still have half an eye on Richard Kone as our third striker. The teams that take chances on these types of players can be left with a winning lottery ticket.

 

Let all the greedy horrible ****s go there and we will watch the rest **** Saudi

 

I just find it a shame really. Hernandez is 27 and would walk into a load of top European sides still

 

I'd take that Merlin chap in a heart-beat!!
