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

[Concrete John]

Sky sports "understands"

Not seen him myself but others on here seem to rate him, so not a bad bit of business.

So long, Little Brad!

We do need another winger, so with tight resources I'd be OK with going for someone like Phillips.

Isn't Hoillett out of contract this summer?  I'd take him.

[Mazrim]

It would be nice to go after somebody like Adam Johnson too.

Forgot about him.  What's he done to be so removed from the City team? He always looks a threat to me, at least far more so than some of those under performers of late.  He'd suit us down to the ground.

Good player.

Hasn't he got "lifestyle problems" which have caused him to not feature as much as he might?

[Mazrim]

You mean he's a piss artist?

Hoillet is quality but i can't see us getting him, ithink one of the top clubs will take a chance seems he is on a free.

Would take a chance on Matty Phillips from Blackpool and seems Wolves are all but down i would not mind seeing Jarvis or Kightly come in.

Wingers who can cross should be a priority in the summer otherwise we might as well sell Bent.

[Concrete John]

Talk of players like Johnson is lovely and all that, but Phillips and Jarvis are much more likely signings.  Even if not a money issue, we'd do well to attract a player who sees themselves as Champions League level.

[Mazrim]

Hoilett will cost several million I would imagine, and yes, we should go for him too.

His contract is up in the summer so any deal will go to a tribunal. I just can’t see us getting him ahead of some of the bigger teams.

[N'ZMAV]

Adam Johnson has talent, but his head isn't right, and I read somewhere that he's a piss head.
Junior Hoilett is out of contract in the summer. He's been good this season. Could see Spurs or Liverpool going in for him.
Matt Jarvis and Matt Phillips are good players, more our level. I think we should go for them both.

[Mazrim]

Yeah, that's what I meant. The tribunal will set a fee of at least £3m-£5m.

Matt Jarvis doesnt convince me and I havent seen much of Phillips. There's a few nifty wingers in Holland we could go for and we've been looking for players there already. Ola John, Narsingh, Mertens...etc.

[Trinitymiddle]

I see Mancini is going to sell Johnson for 10 million according to the press. If we do have money, we should be all over him like a rash. Exactly the type of player that can create out of nothing. We are not going to create through any type of game plan, so a brilliant individual would be useful

I'd love him at Villa, it'll be Mons first signing though I feel.

He should have bought him when he was at Villa and he bought that prick Downing instead.

Jarvis had a good season last year, but he's been crap this year, wouldn't want him at all. As you say the trick is to look abroad. I'd love us to sign Hoillett but he'll go to a more ambitious club than we are currently I think.

 I think Hoillet will be looking above and beyond us I'm afraid but if he can prove his fitness then I think Kightly would be a cracking signing
