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

[Toronto Villa]

Whispers that we have had a bid of €4M accepted for Douglas.

that would be quite super Mr Bridges

[rutski]

douglas who?

[dicedlam]

Douglas Franco Teixeira?  Douglas da Costa Souza?

Douglas Ellis?

[Mazrim]

Oh yes please.

[PeterWithesShin]

Douglas Bader? Douglas Hurd?

[pauliewalnuts]

Carl Douglas?

If so, i find this a little bit frightening.

Although I've heard he's fast as lightning.

[paul_e]

expert timing paulie!

[N'ZMAV]

Gary Gardner is going out on loan, isn't he?

Says who?

Don't know, that's why I was asking.

[Matt C]

First time I've properly watched Bertrand in the Olympics match last night, looks a very useful player - no surprise Chelsea want to keep him.

[JJ-AV]

Douglas, Neil Taylor and then late swoops for Milner and Sturridge on loan and that'll do me.

[PeterWithe]

douglas who?

President Emeritus, Director of Football and now Centre Half?

[Dante Lavelli]

That's fine but it's a gamble as we need a striker in soon.

In an ideal world we do, but I’d be happy with Holman, Nzog, Weimann and Fonz supporting Bent until the christmas window.  Whilst it would be nice to have options in every position we have to remember that there will be chances to sign players in the future too, so we need to save a bit cash for then.  Besides Weimann and the Fonz need some game time (or to go out on loan).

But in the spirit of idle speculation a cheeky loan bid for Dzeko might be the solution.  He’s being pushed out at Man City and it could work for all parties.

Where did you hear that?

Who the fuckety fuck is DOUGLAS

That's great 'outside the box' thinking!  Spurs benefitted for a similar situation with Adebayor, so why not us?
