Summer transfer madness thread

Kent would be an amazing signing.

I've never heard of him. No, wait, is it the county we're signing?

How can you not have heard of him? He's super, man.

Lex look at this more closely luthort we were signing the county?

[oldtimernow]

Kent will be really useful , post brexit, especially when we need to park the bus...

How many loans are we allowed?

Not sure there are any limits in the football league are there or certainly didn't used to be.  I seem to remember Hereford getting promoted years ago using something like 10 loan players and them all leaving at the season leaving them with hardly any players left. 

Weren't most of Huddersfield's squad last year loanees?

Didn't Watford get up one season with a team more or less full of loans or was that allowed because they were mostly from abroad?

Yes, Watford had a season with loads of loanees, most of them from foreign clubs owned by the Watford owner. I think Coventry had quite a few loan players a season or two back.

We're not really signing Rodallega are we? Desperate stuff if so.

Independent reporting Onomah is joining http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/tottenham-transfer-news-josh-onomah-aston-villa-loan-mauricio-pochettino-loan-deal-a7876226.html

Apparently his best position is box-to-box CM rather than out wide where Spurs used him a bit last season (off the bench mainly). Could give us that energy and speed we've been lacking in there.

And see either Lansbury or Hourihane go?

Don't think either have been any great shakes for us so far (showed a lot more at their previous clubs), so I'd play Whelan, Onomah and let those 2 fight it out for the last place depending on who wants it more and is in better form.

What we need alongside Whelan in a 4-4-2 in my opinion.

Onomah official on twitter now - great.

[VILLA MOLE]

we have lots of midfielders !!

[saunders_heroes]

What type of player is Onomah then? Any good?

[oldtimernow]

If he can show more energy and skill than Lansbury then he'll do for me.

[PeterWithesShin]

He's fantastic, will be one of the best players in this division.



*Hopefully, as i've never heard of him before.

[oldtimernow]

think it means bye-bye for Gardner?

What about Lyden....will he go out on loan to return as Onomah returns to Spurs?

[QuintonVilla]

Onomah will be Gardner's replacement which makes it a good deal . We could have signed a carrot and it would have been an upgrade on Gardner.
