Summer transfer madness thread

Baker will not have been sold for 500k. It's not like his wages were an issue.

I agree.  Maybe someone down there got the wrong end of the stick and the cost as in his wages will be 500K.  £10,000 a week sounds plausible doesn't it?

I'd be surprised if they were as low as that.

Just speculating Dave.  I just can't see us having sold him for that amount so wondering if the figure was in relation to something else.  I'd say £10,000 would be a fair whack at somewhere like Bristol City to be honest.

We're being linked with Jefferson Montero at Swansea this morning. Would be a cracking signing if fit and able to reproduce his form of the season before last. Would also have a natural link with Taylor down the left handside. Only 27 too, which surprised me.

Really quick, fast as an airplane

If we pull this white rabbit out of a hat, he could be someone to love.

Always looked an all fart no shit kind of player to me, but I suppose it'd be easier for him down at this level

Can we not word filter this? Twice in two days its cropped up. Belongs in the "don't tell me show me" category.

Really Slick player.

He has plenty of pace too.  I really like him.

I don't think it's a controversial statement - I mean, where'd you like to begin?

According to Squawka, he made one start in the Premier League last season and a bunch of sub appearances, although I think he might've been injured for a fair chunk of it. The season before that, he managed 14 starts and 9 appearances off the bench, for a total of 26 chances and 2 assists. And remember, chances created is basically any pass that leads to a shot at goal, no matter how hopeful or threatening it actually is, so we're not necessarily talking good chances here. He did well in his first season, but that's a while ago now. Most damningly, he's managed a single league goal in three seasons at Swansea.

If we can get him for around the same amount we paid for Elmo, and the wages aren't too bad, I wouldn't mind the gamble but I'm not sure how the above description doesn't apply in this situation, unless you want to say you've actually seen him enough to offer a more qualified view.

It's a hallmark H&V phrase though and is one that I literally never see used anywhere else.  The Texas version of it is "all hat, no cattle" so maybe that could be an alternative.

Motion carried. We need to cut this shit out, mkay.

I think it was him who ran us ragged down our right when Swansea beat us with a late goal when Timmy was in charge.

Yes, he looked more than useful.

He was on talkshite today, they've offered to pay £3k a week of his wages to Lazio while he's on loan.
