Summer Transfer Thread: Speculation, Lies, Absolute Cr*p and Bosman Rumours

[Californian Villain]

I was in Hamburg the night Olic ripped us apart. Maybe a bit of a Luc Nilis style signing, and could be a masterstroke. Injury prone forwards with lots of talent can be useful, even if only in 25 games a season or so.

He'll be lucky to play 25 games in 3 years!

I wonder how many decent Bosman's there are this season? I'm sure there's a website with contract expiry dates on it.  I also wonder if this is McLeish trying to be clever by letting the fans know that we are skint, so stop having a go, have a go at Lerner instead. How very exciting that we are in the marker for the better Bosman signings.

Ivica who? 32?  Crocked?  Oooh, goodie, yes please!!

[PaulWinch again]

He's a very good player, but injuries would be a concern.

[Clampy]

Some of the replies on this thread sound similar to when we were about to sign Keane.

Website I have just looked at is Bosmanlist.com
Shows all premier league teams and who is available this summer

[ldavfc4eva]

Just looking and not sure it is very up to date....
Few notable bosmans are rosicky,rodallega,Figueroa and Hoillett

[SheffieldVillain]

These are links to Bosman lists but were published in early January so a lot of these players might have moved on or been given new contracts by now.

There's a name in that Genoa list we should be interested in.

[KevinGage]

Flamini and Muntari are names that crop up less and less in the transfer speculation threads. 

An acceptance of our current standing?  Or are they yesterday's men?

Villa legend.

yes - I`ve always rated Scarpi

[PeterWithe]

I see SHA legend 'The Rifle' is on there.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy might be worth a look?

[KevinGage]

Toquero at Bilbao, Hedwidges Maduro at Valencia and Andre Castro at Gijon look like some of the standout names in that lot   (Van Horseyboy and Kanoute are knocking on a bit now and none of the Barcelona lot would be realistic anyway).

Petrov going to be replace by Flamini and Muntari would not be a bad thing. Flamini is good quality in the premier league and exactly what we need at the moment. A young central midfield player who can get his foot in is important too though for me. Maybe the lad at Boro if they don't get up.

[KevinGage]

Williams?
