Summer transfer madness thread

[Matt Collins]

So - no idea who (doesn't need to be a gestede lump, just someone who can hold up play and win headers in the box)

I see we are using reverse psychology now . We are being linked with a Greek Centre forward that didn't score last season. It's the opposite of last summers approach when we signed McCormack. Genius Bruce genius.

Linked dosent always mean it's true.

Murphy from Newcastle.

Murphy from Newcastle.

If it's Daryl Murphy that's one for the future!

[cheltenhamlion]

It's a long way from one for the future but the kind of lump that might make the ball stick and let the midfield cross the halfway line I suppose.

[Clampy]

It does sound like the Glen Whelan signing is more or less done.

[cheltenhamlion]

That'd been the case for nigh on a week now. It will happen.

Sam Gallagher at S'oton would be the one I'd be going for. Did a very decent job on loan at Blackburn last season and still a youngster. We need a striker who adds balance to the team. One who can play with his back to goal, hold the ball-up and add an aerial presence.

We seem to be adding players to the squad who can cross the ball now but, Kodjia aside, don't have many players who can attack the crosses effectively!

I'm with you on this. Gallagher reminds me of Keith Leonard if you're old enough to remember him.

I'd def be happy with this I think. We'd need to move out McCormack I reckon though

[Clampy]

I reckon that'll be it now, unless we give Samba a contract.

We have been linked with Sam Gallagher and like others have said, he would be a decent buy.  I'll probably get pelters for this one, but I think Crouch would be a good target man for us for a couple of seasons.

Yes will be another not popular due to his age but he scores goals at this level and can bring others into play so as soon as Newcastle made him available I wondered if he was one who'd be on our radar.

Surely means McCormack will be loaned out as we'd have too many forwards again.

Pictures of him with Terry and Gabby at BMH watching the u23s.

Probably reminiscing about the days they could run faster than a dead wombat.
