Summer transfer madness thread

[QuintonVilla]

We're in talks with Sam Gallagher over a season long loan. Wolves, Derby and Small Heath all apparantly interested aswell.

[Malandro]

Colback is fucking shit.

That's the sort of lazy signing MON would have made.

Terrible footballer, according to a Newcastle fan in my village.

[Chris Jameson]

Ryan Kent and Sam Gallagher should be our primary targets now.

Who?

At a guess I'd say one is in a boy band and the other is a Youtuber.

[Chinchilla Bathhouse]

Colback is fucking shit.

That's the sort of lazy signing MON would have made.

And he'd have paid about eight million quid for him.

Still need a couple more of we get Gallagher. I would bet on Bruce going all in on a deal for Snodgrass though

[Ozzjim]

Although Snodgrass himself says he's a right winger not left so might be pointless to go for him when we have Elmo and Adomah on that side. We are also still utterly shafted if Taylor gets injured.

[Gareth]

Gallagher would be a good get, not saying it would solve all our problems but a big lad who is good in the air & useful on the ground would help with getting ball up top and occasionally keeping it there long enough for others to join attacks.

Think Hogan would benefit from a partner who can do the aerial stuff and maybe even flick some balls on for Hogan who whenever I've seen him is a willing runner on the shoulder / in behind.

Snodgrass would be much better than AEM on the right. See Adomah as a squad player this season, impact sub for last 20 minutes.

[ASHTONVILLA]

If we sign Colback I will be less than impressed. We would be better spending that money sacking Bruce!

Agree Snodgrass is better than Elmo and Albert, but they are both pretty good and we have diddly squat options on the left either at wing or fullback were Taylor to get injured.

What is it with Bruce and only signing right backs andright wingers. Ugh. Poor mans MON.

[SoccerHQ]

De Laet will fill in at left back if Taylor gets injured.

Pretty sure he's played loads there in his various loan spells in his career.

[cdbearsfan]

I'd rather we had specialists rather than just bung anyone in on the basis of "he'll do".

We're down to one specialist left back. We clearly need another one.

[Ozzjim]

Gallagher looking at him is ideal for the way we currently play so makes a lot of sense.

Soccer, agree Snodgrass would be an upgrade on the other 2, but why sign AEM if you are then going to bring another right winger in, makes zero sense, so I would much sooner we find someone who can actually play down the left, and with some pace.

And De Laet will be first choice right back when fully fit hopefully. We need a reserve left back.

Particularly when we don't even have a 21-22 year old in the u23 side to step up, they seemed to play toner there on Monday.

[sid1964]

how many more players do we need, it is ridiculous we must have a squad of 30.

We could sign another 11 and we would still be shit under Bruce!
