Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Steve67]

I saw something last week about Bunn and Leeds. ?

Eccles cakes?

[mr underhill]

I saw him Parkin there

Presumably Hal Robson-Kanu is less of a "must sign" player tonight?

To be fair to him he's not really a striker. I'd still sign him up as he'd be a useful squad option. But I wouldn't say he's the sort you want as your main man. I think he may end up being a little over hyped after the tournament. He'll get a Prem move and not quite live up to it.

A striker who doesn't score isn't a useful option.

It's also an area in which we're well equipped.

And we have at least four players who would be a better option out wide. And we got relegated with them.

Mark Hughes, when asked by the commentator on tonight's game about rumours of Stoke wanting the player sneeringly replied he was more likely to end up at Aston Villa, the brillo pad haired tnuc.

But he's the next Cruyff

Did he really say that? The twat.  He will live to regret it, but unfortunately when we finally get our act together he will be retired with a bucketload of cash and won't give a shit

[Steve67]

Hmm, Mark Hughes, ITK? ;-)

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid we can't do that.

If Petrov plays for us next season we will struggle like fuck in Midfield again. Lovely bloke, great story, courage in bucket loads but he's finished as a pro footballer.

You may well be right, but you simply don't have enough information to be that dismissive.  Why don't we let Di Matteo make that call after watching him through a full pre-season eh?

Close down the website and let's just wait until the first few games and what Di Matteo says then.

He's 37 and off the back of a terrible illness. Common sense tells me he's not going to be able to do something no one else has ever done. He's not super human. We need to buy proper midfielders, he's a good role model, keep him around, whatever, keep him off the pitch though.

Chemotherapy which he had will have affected his heart. He was fit before his illness, but I doubt due to the adverse effects of chemotherpay he will ever get back his fitness to be a top professional (and he is 4 years older).  Saying that he could be a huge influence on the training pitch or on the subs bench?

Sorry but this is absolute horseshit.
Having had cancer and chemo, I ran marathons for years afterwards and was arguably fitter.
Chemo causes fast growing cells to die. Those cells can arguably come back fresher and stronger.

Please don't post based on some half assed theory or personal belief.

Stan might not get near the team at all but his fitness at 36 is gonna be at least similar if not better than his peers of similar age.

Is correct

It depends of the chemotherapy you had. If you have chemotherapy for a haematological malignancy like Petrov the regimen it will be different to post op chemotherapy. Duanorubicin is often used in acute leukaemias and causes heart muscle damage. Heamatologists now get echocardiograms pre and post chemotherapy to assess the extent of damage. If recognised early it can be reversed in the first 6 months with an ACE- inhibitor.

This is not a half arsed theory but fact. I'm sorry if it offended you.

Sensitive subject, I know, but that is a killer reposte. Touché sir 🎩

Like it.

Unlikely now as Leeds have signed Rob Green on a Bosman
