Summer transfer madness thread

Apparently we bid for him in January.

It's beginning to look like, having taken away any lingering hope we may have had, Steve Bruce is trying to get rid of every last supporter, too.

Are Enoch Powell and Robert Hopkins available?

Sorry, wasn't related to your post! Just saw Mat Kendrick linking him on Twitter.

We'll be shit hot on FIFA 2008 at this rate.

Stewart Downing or Ollie Watkins?

I'm not sure who's replying to who anymore.

Ian Atkins is looking at a few young lads in Poland at the moment

mind he just seems to be sunning it a lot on the sun bed

Surely the Polish season is over? We should send our scouts to Greenland.

The Downing thing is a joke, surely. It HAS to be a joke. The club cannot be that stupid. Right.. right?

Steve Bruce doesn't care or know much about players we've had before or the type we're weary of. Just gotta embrace the misery.

On the potential Terry signing...

Remember the last two transfer windows where we were all happy that we were signing the captain's of the teams are were buying them from eg Lansbury, Chester, Hourihane, Jedinak..to give us the on field leaders we didn't have.

So why do we need to spunk huge wads of money in Terry to do that. Clearly we didn't get the leaders we thought we were?

Let's see what happens now.  Josh Scowen who I actually thought was Barnsleys best player last season has left them today and is available on a free.  He's a defensive midfielder. So will we sign him or Glen feckin Whelan.

I am undecided on Terry, it is a short term move that could or couldn't work depending on the role he played.
As for Downing an emphatic NO.
He could not get out of here quick enough.
F**k him the gutless twat.

Was v impressed with him and the rest of the Barnsley team when I watched the Barnsley v Leeds match just before we signed Hourihane - to get some idea of what we were signing.

He scored that evening, but most of their side looked nimble and good in possession. Compare and contrast to us with Jedinak in midfield who-despite his other qualities- can barely move and feels more comfortable booting the ball out of play even with a relatively simple pass on.

That's the thing with signing supposed leaders:  If they can't do the main thing they're put on the pitch to do, the rest pales into insignificance.

The European U21 Championships are being held in Poland.
