Summer transfer madness thread

He is truly bonkers.
The Ray Parlour stories about Adams after he stopped the booze are hilarious.

Johnny Kodjia might want to resume his studies at the Sorbonne.  It would be nice to think he might complete his degree while still with us.  Brilliant pub quiz question.  Who is the only Chartered Accountant playing in the Football League/Premiership?

Following in the footsteps of another legendary, goal getting bean counter, Ian Olney. And Risso.

Dicier Drogba studied accountancy at university.  There's a player for Reading Women FC called Melissa Fletcher who is a qualified accountant.

I think Alex McLeish is too, although I doubt that he's kept up the relevant CPD over the years!

[Toronto Villa]

I'd never hire Alex McLeish as an accountant. He's shit with numbers. If he was any good he'd have realized having more points was better than having less points than other teams in a division. Also that spending almost £10m on N'Zogbia, agreeing on a 5 year deal with Given was fucking nuts.

it was nuttier than nuts - nuts with nuts on top.

Bacuna and Amavi. Neither should play another minute for us.

[curiousorange]

Amavi still has the words "twenty five million" ringing in his ears.

[Ads]

He's not a winger and he's not a full back. After today I'm unconvinced his actually a footballer.

[mr underhill]

Agreed totally egregious today. Lots of restructuring to do in the summer, again.

[SoccerHQ]

Let Amavi go to balance the books.

We have Taylor and De Laet for LB next season.

Amavi still has the words "twenty five million" ringing in his ears.

I hope he recorded it because it will never be said again

[West Derby Villan]

Amavi is managing to get progressively worse match by match, get rid

[adrenachrome]

Bacuna and Amavi. Neither should play another minute for us.

Sad but true.

Amavi looks, to me, like a guy who's been fucked about a bit.  he was playing well for a few months up to Christmas but then he had a dip in form that coincided with ours before coming back in to a position he's not familiar with and hasn't worked on enough in training and then just when he was starting to get into it got dropped then put back into his original position.

His positional sense was always his weakness and moving him into different positions isn't going to help that develop.  I still think there's a very good player in there though but probably not for us under Bruce because he just isn't a Bruce style player.

[mr underhill]

with respect, I just see a total charlatan - he isn't a very good footballer, end of. Why we paid what we did remains a total mystery to me. Time for him to return to France - and for Veretout to return.

[pbavfckuwait]

The statement that he is not a Bruce type of player, if that is the case why the hell does he keep picking him!!
