Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

[Brassneck]

Perhaps there were no suitors or perhaps RDL wouldn't take a drop in wages?

We're stuck with a few fairly high earners who certainly wouldn't match their current wage if sold.

Yes, I'm pretty sure Bruce did want to sell him as he made comments yesterday about how it was a pity that some of the players we've loaned out haven't been sales to help more with FFP.

Championship average weekly is about £7k, isn't it? I seriously doubt that we've got many on that kind of money.

[Drummond]

I'd be very disappointed if Drummond doesn't own at least one flat cap. And a whippet.

I'm afraid the only hat I currently have is a baseball cap. I have sported a variety of hats over the years, and they do rather help to attract the ladies for some reason, probably because it's a prop. Don't really wear them these days, being happily married and all that.

Never had a flat cap and don't like dogs.

[Drummond]

Oddly Drummond who is a handsome non hirsute young man wears a hat to keep his head warm.  I am a hairy old coffin dodger driven by misplaced vanity.  I too have a large collection of hats that make me look like my dad.  Mostly peaky blinder flat caps.

As for not being hirsute, my pate certainly isn't. I think I'm just too tall for hair, it seems to grow everywhere else now.

I use a hat as a tool.  When I go on the knocker for my kids at election time I doff my cap to everybody who comes to the door.  They think "what a nice chap".  Another vote in the bag for Green.

[Drummond]

Yep, it gives character. Not that you need any more Brian.

Steven Caulker doing the gossip around .

[Clark W Griswold]

I don't know a lot about him but he was supposed to be good when he came through apparently. Reported to have 'personal demons' but then again so did Lord McGrath. It is more likely to go a bit 'Micah Richards' though, but I suppose a deal till the end of the season on moderate to low wages might be worth a punt.

Wow - would be surprised if that happened - someone who Dundee deem fit to release really isn't really going to get a game is he? Is he?

I think he triggered the clause to leave not Dundee...currently pointless at the bottom of the SPL

Steven Caulker, what could possibly go wrong with signing a bloke who hasn't played much football for 4 years and has mental health issues.

Even Bruce isn't that shit a manager.

To be fair, from Neil McCann's comments it was more a case of Caulker desperate to leave Dundee, rather than them releasing it.  He even said that they turned down a bid for him, before realising that he wanted to leave.

Desperate times...can we just try Micah to see what happens?

Go and wash your mouth out with acid  - absolute heresy
