Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[Surrey Villain]

The subject of Vlaar to ManU has been flogged to d discussed at length in the transfer rumours thread. As you are dealing with a speculative transfer topic it is likely that you will be encouraged to take the discussion there. The fact that this has not already happened suggests that the mods are either pissed, in custody or have found a second saxon hoard and are therefore otherwise engaged.

OK, got it now, I do not have time sadly to trawl through all the posts on here due to a busy work schedule and poor internet access on a ship.

So what was the general consensus as to how much Ron would be worth if we decided to sell? I, of course, hope that we don't sell.

Nice welcome to a new member Steve.

I must be missing something but isn't this topic called 'Transfer Speculation / Gossip'. So what exactly was wrong with that input?

Nothing at all, after it was moved it from its own thread into this one.

Thanks, then I did miss that move!

[Simon Ward]

We can't even concoct a decent rumour!

[Jockey Randall]

Shame about Snodgrass going to Hull. He's the sort of player that could have done a decent job for us. Although I accept the fact that we can't compete with giants like Hull these days.

Sorry I misunderstood. Apologies to Steve.

No worries at all.

I was more minded to think he's the sort of player that MON would have signed for £12m

How much are Hull spending on him? 8 on Livermore, 6-7 on Snodgrass? Bertrand and Dawson also linked. Will all be on decent wages too. Bruce had better hope they start the season well enough.

[Matt Collins]

I'd hoped we might get livermore. Would have been right up our street

[Gareth]

Livermore for 8m and Snodgrass for 6m - 14m doesn't go too far does it, both are decent enough players but I regard myself as an optimist in expecting us to still spend circa 15m this summer and if it went on those two signings I wouldn't be anymore hopeful for next season than I am with the squad we've got.

Presuming Lambert will still be in charge when the season kicks off and again presuming he spends 15m on a couple of 'better players' rather than another pick n mix of tat like last summer I think it is nigh on impossible that he will sign anyone who will make us happy / hopeful for 7-8m....seems stupid to say but you are just buying another average Premier League sides average Premier League player for those figures.

With that list that ozz gives, Bruce is very much looking like the heir to O'Neill's throne.

 Livermore and Snodgrass are a bit one paced for me.

 That Bradley looks a good player for the US.

Are we seeing the premium paid for British footballers?
If Lambert has £15m (don't know where that figure has come from, but there you go) and elects to go for quality rather than quantity I would have thought three decent foreign players would be possible to add some qualitty at FB and in midfield.

Livermore is awful. Can't believe they've spent £8m on him!

Fair play to Daniel Levy though, always gets a good price for his players. No idea how he does it.

[ozzjim]

I thought he would be about 3 within add ons. 8 is incredible really.

yes, he also paid £16m for Bentley, £30m for Lamela and £28m for Soldado.
