Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Dave]

I'm starting to get a bit worried but I'm not at full-on panic stage at the moment. We'll have played 5 league games if we wait until the transfer deadline to get new players in. And until then, RDM would have to be a really good manager to get a bounce out of some of the dead cats we still have in the squad. Tony did say £50m, is that right?

No.He said between 20 and 50mil.

and even then only what the manager asks for.

Apart from Wenger, I can't think of a manager who has asked for less money than has been set aside for new players.

O'Neill in his first few years here, allegedly.

At least he made up for lost time though.

[Ron Manager]

The time to answer that question will be 31st August.

Be interesting to see what standard of player arrives at the club by that date. Don't expect any well regarded talent  RDM will certainly earn his corn in this window!

Lewis Kinsella has gone - apologies if posted elsewhere, been a long day and haven't the energy to trawl too far!

Kinsella has signed for Colchester

A failed player, failed manager and now f***ed pundit. Don't bother reading at all!

I completely agree but he needs to show it too in action between now and the end of the window. Don't let these pricks make a fool of your words Tone.

That is a tweet he definitely shouldn't have done in my opinion. As much as I think Holloway is a tool,, our owner should not be saying things like that.

[Toronto Villa]

There is certainly that Mr Shin even if we agree with it

Yep, it's the sort of thing I'd expect Sullivan, Gold or some other thin-skinned owner to come out with. What was it Krulak said about pigs in mud?

This is the owner of our football club.His wife needs to tell him to get off twitter with immediate effect!

I think he's off his head,
but it made me laugh, the balls of it, he don't give a shit what he says does he

I've just arrived at this thread on page 56 and I realise that now we're up to page 274. Can someone summarise the previous 218 pages please?

No. You have to read them all. There will be a test later.

[mr underhill]

basically, we have got a new owner, manager, coaches, board three new players and we are shit. Still.

I'm trying to be upbeat, but I have a feeling that you are right. The playing staff have been affected mentally by our demise and we need a break from them, and them from us. But, they are still here, lingering like a noxious vapour, with their poisonous attitude. We can't expect the players that got us into this mess last year to get us out of it this year. It's a shambles.

[MoetVillan]

If you read carefully you will see that somewhere there is an argument for us finishing in any of the 24 available positions at the end of the season in the Championship.

And the theme running though is meet the new boss, same as the old boss
