Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

There is a lot of talk about Cahill's age and the fact he has practically sat out the last season.

Exactly what was being said by some about Terry when we signed him and he did well for us.

Terry was 36 when we signed him. Cahill is 33.

Can't believe that Taylor's name has not yet been mentioned. Surely we cannot envisage him in the premiership?

He'll be fine as competition, he played a lot in the good run at the end of the season, he's played in the PL before, he's not too old and he is an international. Despite all that though we should be looking to buy a better option as there is plenty of room for improvement at left back with us stepping up a division.

Attacking full backs are worth their weight in gold these days.  Taylor is not an attacking full back.

He probably doesn't weigh much either.

...something about Alexander of Macedonia and Eric Bristow

Whoever posted Taylor's profile pic on da Wiki, is clearly not a fan

Yes, in the Championship.

Yes, in the Championship.

And in a team who defended deeper and didn't expose his lack of pace so much.

Any idea why the jota deal has gone quite?

[algy]

The rumoured Jota deal seems to have gone quiet?

Tbh, it seemed a bit odd that when we've got bazillions to spend, our first port of call was the little local shop round the corner. I'm not saying he couldn't be a decent signing, but I'm hoping we'll be a bit more exotic in our spending.

Tbh I thought it was a clever bit of business. £4m + Gardner is basically a free transfer in premier league terms, and it seems to fill a hole that needs to be filled (lack of a backup for Grealish), leaving us with near full funds to improve the first team rather than buy squad players. DS knows him so he's not much of a gamble. Plus as a bonus it gets a player who's not likely to feature off the books.

When did we appoint Sherwood as our DoF?

Apologies if the link isn't appropriate.

We've been linked with Cardiff's keeper:
