Summer transfer madness thread

[Comrade Blitz]

I wouldn't complain in a few of them were pushed off a plane.

I think Walters would be great in the Championship and a decent alternative to Kodjia. Hope it happens.

Is there official confirmation that Sanchez has gone, as I can't seem to find any, although he was supposed to have signed for Fiorentina? And has Cissokho gone to Olympiakos, cos I seem to remember that they had the option to sign him at the end of his loan?

A work colleague has just told me that Sanchez has been sold to a Chinese club by Fiorentina. He follows Italian football and says he will confirm what he read tomorrow. We can only have sold him on 1 July so I find it hard to figure out, but if they did it's no doubt for a profit...

I really hope Walters and Whelan are just made up.  I didn't want Terry but at least he's been a top player at some point. Whelan has never been good for anything other than breaking up play and Walters is both shit (he averages about 7 goals a season) and a cheating knob.

I just don't get the mentality of people being pissed off at losing so wanting us to sign wankers.  I'm pissed off at where we are but I want us to sign good players and coach them properly, not just sign a bunch opf thugs who'll kick people until we get promoted.

Can you sell a player you've literally just bought?

[Sexual Ealing]

We did with Unsworth I think.

[cdbearsfan]

They changed the rules so that you can only sign for one club per year, except with special dispensation. Loan deals don't count, so you can always just agree a loan with a guaranteed permanent deal at the end.

I've no idea what the criteria are for special dispensation other than that we wouldn't be granted it, if we wanted it.

[sirlordbaltimore]

True. I thought the rules had changed now though. Eg you can't have more than so many clubs in a specific time frame

[Sexual Ealing]

I think you can't play for more than two (or is it three) in a calendar year. I my, however, be talking shit.

[brian green]

I don't think Everton had actually presented our cheque for Unsworth.

[RussellC]

I think it all relates to how many clubs you can play for in the same season. Theoretically you could sign for 20 different teams in the same season, as long as you only play for 2 of them.

I may be wrong on that though.

Bought for €3m sold for €7m according to  Quotidiano Sportivo.

[Exeter 77]

Did we have a sell on agreement? And if we did the cynic in me is saying it's a way round FFP.

Heard yesterday from someone who has a reliable  contact that Joe Hart was next.

That would be fantastic. Maybe the JT effect could influence things. Pep reckons he can't kick a ball. Neither could Mark Bosnich but he was good at keeping the ball out of the net.

I was going to say he had played under Bruce at SHA but then remembered it was McLeish who took him there.
