Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Tayls_7]

£20 million bid, the football world has gone mad!, this transfer window, the fees that are being paid for average footballers is unbelievable

Damn straight. You could buy nearly four Bosko Balabans for that.

[PaulWinch again]

Thing is it's all relative I guess. If we sign Hernandez and he fires us back to the Premier League then it's worth it. However if he doesn't we might be in a spot of bother.

[Brend'Watkins]

There must be some conditions with that amount as in that's what they'll get if we get promotion.

[sid1964]

Listening to David Pleat on Talksport last night, and he was saying that some agents are getting up to 35% of the transfer fee for certain players this summer, and that is why a lot of the transfer fees are so inflated

Hernandez hopefully will do well for us, but for me, I would like to see if one of our younger players who has come through the reserves given a chance, otherwise what is the point of having a reserve team, if they are not to be given a chance?

[Whiney MacWhineface]

Such is the prize money of the Premiership.  Corner shops need not apply.

Reports are just coming in of a large explosion near Bath. Terrorism isn't suspected.

Too right Sid.  Rushian Hepburn-Murphy is a classic case in point.  The value of your home grown players rises in tandem with those that are bought in.  However, to reap that harvest you need mansgers and coaches with the vision to give them their chance.  That is why Black's ring fencing of his CV at the end of last season still makes me angry.  Any one of Lyden, Toner, Green, Davies, or RH-M that had been given the chance to become part of the first team or bench would be saving us millions now.

The Spurs Manager was saying that he was going to give his youngsters a chance in the first team this season.

Morrison being quoted through sources that Villa would be his choice out of the four currently mooted - Us, Hull, Sunderland and Hull. Elsewhere saying it is a straight fight between the Toon and Forest

[Marlon From Bearwood]

Pat Murphy has said the deal for Hernandez is dead but we're close to signing Kodija

[Matt Collins]

Yeah - evening  mail reporting that personal terms shouldn't be a problem w Hernandez but Murphy has been saying it's dead in the water for days. Inclined to believe the Beeb here

Really not sure about kodjia. It's a massive hike up in cost over 1 season and the reports aren't unanimously positive by any means

[cdward]

Dr Tony tweeted the same, confirmed we had bid £20M, and they had been working on the deal all summer, but it hasn't worked. We are moving on to our other option. Announcement expected today.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

Spoke to a Bristol City steward about Kodjia on Saturday. He'd said he's ok, no more than that.

[VinnieChase84]

The positive is that Kodjia looks a strong finisher. As things stand we have created more chances than everyone else in the league so far. Just lacking the finishing

[Matt Collins]

He's definitely going to improve our squad - on the basis that we don't have a player like him really

But it's a hell of a lot of ££

Nixon also reporting deal broke down for hernandez over agent demands

[UK Redsox]

Spoke to a Bristol City steward about Kodjia on Saturday. He'd said he's ok, no more than that.

Does Codja want out of Brizzle or do they not rate him and hence brought in the Chelsea loanee that scored on Saturday ?
