Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[KevinGage]

Had forgotten about Ki.  Depends on the price, obv.  But hopefully we'll be in the market for at least one more central midfielder even if we sign him.

Soccer HQ and kippax going at it is a bit like watching Arsenal v Newcastle circa 2002.

I would love it, love it, love it if I beat Soccer HQ, and I tell ya something I else, I am still on this transfer thread, and I will fight to spread crap on it right to the end, make no mistake.

With the cut price deals we have done so far, I think/ hope the intention is to put the bulk of any actual funds towards midfield.  One player in the centre of the park in the £8 million + bracket and things won't look so bleak.

If we overlook that area again Lambert should be sent to Highcroft.

If the Ki deal happens, I wouldn't be surprised if that will be it until others go out. 

That seems to have gone very quiet unfortunately.

If we overlook that its more the fault of Randy than Lambert.The manager can only buy with the funds he has available and as it currently stands it looks as so we have pretty much zero.

Now that is brilliant no matter how much you hate our punfests.

Sunderland spending £14m. West Brom spending £10m. Are we gonna show any ambition, or are we just gonna stand still?

If you really wish us to spend £14m on Borini then I reckon you have flipped your lid.
Slumberland are desperate, they have fuck all real money and they have just spunked it all on a one goal in five forward.
And who have the PinStripeyFilth bought that we should be worrying about?

[Dave Cooper please]

Sunderland have bought Borini for £14m. West Brom have bought Ideye Brown for £10m. My point isn't about the players, more the fact that they're showing ambition.

So let's go out and buy some random no-mark for a few million just for the sake of it?

I don't think we should lose any sleep over either of these two signings.  However, I'd also wager that Smethwick and the like were pissing themselves at the £7m 'spunked' on some no mark called Christian Benteke.

Did you miss the post where I said spending £14m on Borini is mental?

Mad mad bastards those black cats. They'll be down there again, with swansea and the tesco bags (excluding the newly promoted). Cracking bit of biz for liverpool though, and to think they could get remy for 8.

It's barking mad to think Borini could cost nearly twice as much as Remy.

[Toronto Villa]

it does't matter what we have spent today compared to others. It's what we do in total in the span of time we have in the window. If we signed two players next week are we suddenly better off than our rivals, or simply that we've made two signings? The time to judge will be when all of our player transactions are done and we see where we stand. Said this before, but in all of my years following the club I don't recall us never buying anyone during the summer. There's no reason to think this summer will be any different even if Randy doesn't finalize the sale of the club.

[David_Nab]

The re using of the bomb squad and the freebie's' we have brought it seems to suggest we won't spend much.

Borini at 14mil is mad but sets a precedent for other transfers , there is not much value around at now teams have the new TV money it seems.Look at WHU they have spent 20 mil already and are still linked with more players.

Still Richardson came out of the blue so maybe we still have a few surprises left

You also said fair play to them for doing it. I guess fair play to us for giving heskey a 60 grand a week contract and beye 43 in the past too? Money isn't as important as smart signings. Not that I'm saying ours are that, mind.

[Clampy]

Normally when the pinstripeyfilth spend money, they sell someone to balance the books so it'll be interesting to see if they do. As for Borini, i'm sorry but £14m is ridiculous. He's not that bloody good.
