Transfer Rumours The 2015 Summer Transfer Window Thread

This would be annoying - http://metro.co.uk/2015/08/10/aston...raet-with-anderlecht-willing-to-sell-5335421/

 

I was thinking that the other day. Good player

 

Pure short-termism, though - a year with Ron coaching you as a defender, and your career average earnings will be way above what you'd get if you peak at Everton.

 

Don't worry, I know. Was just being tongue in cheek about the average length of stay of our players.

 

Particularly if the price is anywhere near that cheap. 12m is a bargain; 7m makes sense only if Anderlecht plan to use the transfer as a springboard to charitable status.

I was asked not to speak about any transfers the morning when I was due to. Can't speak for Monk but I imagine KBSS has found a similar situation.

I do believe the request is only in place until we have them down for medical(s).

Technically I'm not talking about transfers there, but the conditions of an agreement regarding transfers.

Guan being cryptic?

 

Huh?

 

Read my edit. Guan is very ITK.

 

Is the implication that we have more than one player scheduled for a medical in the next day or two Beefy, one of them Van Dijk?

 

Ah now you're assuming these young players have your level of intelligence and forward thinking ...

 

I know we've just played Newcastle like, but what the fook is guan on over there?

 

He usually isn't this random tbh.

 

Haha, sadly can't claim intelligence and forward-thinking - its easy enough for me to say it from where I'm sitting.

 

Not necessarily. Just him saying he can't say anything about incoming transfers until any medicals are booked. Doubt there's anything much to see here that's new.

 

It's Guan.. He is definitely hinting.

 

Yeah I hear you on that, and I suspect those medicals are coming up, but I think that's the outlying message.

 

He's basically putting what Ron has come out and more or less said into some sort of cryptic, coded non-riddle. He really might as well have said nothing, as there is nothing new that there will be medicals for new players before the end of the window at some point. Basically, still nothing to see here.

 

Shaquiri to stoke is the most disapointing move of the summer. I'm more disapointed that he's not coming to Saints than I was about Alderweireld not joining permanently. Almost.

 

Guan's posts don't seem that cryptic to me.

There are players (most likely 2) that Saints are signing, and Guan was going to post about it. It sounds like all the fees and terms are in place contingent upon passing a medical. But then Guan was told not to open his trap until the players have had their medicals. Therefore, he's been silent after promising us more information.

And at this point he can't say who is coming, but that was his way of letting us know we have deals in place.
