Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[mr underhill]

El Decano Deportivo ( I know) reporting we have bid for Michu, the man who makes Joe Cole look like an ever present

[brian green]

And Norwich also have Alan Partridge. The locations of the episodes are to be found all over Avivaville.

It's the mark of a classy club. The fact Chelsea were formed in the 20th century is just more proof to the accuracy of the measure.

For me history can never be lumped in with "only thing", it is very important.

Norwich have spent 24 seasons in the top flight. Wolves spent their 24th season in the top flight in 1936.

Birmingham City FC, founded 1875.

Sorry, I phrased it badly, being formed in the twentieth century is a hallmark of classlessness.

Isn't 1875 the 19th century, mate?

Don't worry, 20th century formation classlessness does not mean all 19th century clubs are classy.

but they do have the George Gently novels, which is a plus point.

But they do all smell of manure which is a bad thing.

I think he was making the point that C20 establishment guarantees classlessness, but C19 establishment does not preclude classlessness, using Small Heath as his proof.

We really need a Venn diagram here.

BTW...classlessness has three double letters (like committee), but they are all S'es

And also...how do you spell S'es?

There is no way I'd pay anything like £10m for Afobe, isn't he very raw and untested really? Look at some of the deals we've done on the continent this summer also even Gestede for £6m. That's the kind of range I'd put Afobe in £6-8m with add ons.

Rapidly approaching 150 years of continued failure. They'll probably hold a celebratory riot in honour of it.

Some randoms on Twitter reckon that Sherwood was looking at Dominic Iorfa of Wolves last night. Might make sense having seemingly missed out on Holgate.

Esses.

I would pay the £15m that QPR want for Austin

[Jon Crofts]

We had an Austin once.  Always breaking down.

[RussellC]

I'd be more inclined to pay it for Afobe, I think. from what I've seen of him, he has more of an all-round game. Granted, he isn't tried or tested in the Premiership yet, but at his age I can only see him getting better.

£15m is probably what it'd take to get him now, which does seem a lot, but so did £6m for Robbie Keane all of those years ago and I can see his being a similar situation.

[Billy Walker]

"Birmingham City" per se have been around since 1943!  Paulie's theory holds true.
