Summer transfer madness thread

I can imagine the shitstorm if we signed a(nother) 36 year old.

[papa lazarou]

It was mentioned as a possibility last week on WM and none of them who called wanted him due to his age - except for one village idiot who was saying yes to everything Franksy suggested.

How did Joe play against us on Sat? He must have allowed himself a wry smile.

Apparently Fulham are trying to buy him.

We should have signed Barry over Whelan. Much better player.  Ojo from Liverpool off to Fulham so another option with pace out of the running. Still need 3 before the window shuts so all this bleating about no money is fine but we have no left back cover, no left wing and are light up front.  Grabban on loan at Sunderland would have helped up top. McGeadu out wide for 500k would have been in our side. Good deals by Grayson.

He's not just another 36 year old though Dave, so I think he'd get a pass.  Wold prefer him over the pair of them, but I think with Whelan and Jedinak already at the club, he's probably a luxury we can't really afford.

As good as he was, and probably still is, he's not what we need. Even at his peak he had no pace and we just don't have the players or system to make the most of him. Plus he probably has one eye on the PL appearance record so i'm far from convinced he'd have wanted to come anyway.

We need dynamism. Onomah has a change of pace and looks head and shoulders above other midfielders in this league.

[Toronto Villa]

Onomah looked very much a player from a top academy at another club at the weekend.

Jack Wilshire lol... read Jermaine Jenas. Do. Not. Touch.

Nailed on to be injured within 2 weeks.

Wilshere, if fit, would be exactly the sort of player we need. We would probably have to agree to keep paying him in the event of him being injured but I think it would be a gamble worth taking. He's a cheating bastard, too. We don't have enough of them.

I can't see us getting him, mind.

Class act . Tend to agree with that though Barry deservedly holding premier status to be most appereances in the league . I also think Bruce style of play isn't suited!! Disappointing and also agree with others who say better footballer than Whelan or jedinak.
Barry should go to Brighton if he not come here where it initially began !
Where's Michael standing??

Wilshire would get injured even more in championship . No prisoners here

[passitsideways]

Even if he was guaranteed to be fit, he'd still be ineffective for us because he'd spend all his time watching the ball flying over his head in the vague direction of the centre forward.

Bakar Sakho palace would add to team. Dynamic at this level powerful left foot and by accounts powerful attacking player. Would add presence to the  attack .
