Summer transfer madness thread

So, we have no cover at left-back and our manager is spending the last day of the transfer window in a pub?

You've clearly forgot Birkir and Clark before we even get started on Bree and De Laet. Calm yer knickers

De Laet and Bree cover

Dodge it!

I don't want players playing out of position  as "cover". Left-backs should not be right-footed. Get a left-footed left-back.

our problem isn't how many players we've got to fill all the positions we have a massive squad
It's how many quality players we have on that big squad to do the business on the pitch

We have Agbonlahor and Steer as cover, too. Not particularly relevant though as, like the players you mentioned, they're not left-backs.

Left-backs should not be right-footed.

Zambrotta, Maldini, Breitner, Fachetti, Krol, Brehme, Lahm, Zanetti, Azpilicueta...

Yeah but anyone decent ?

Any sign of shifting the unwanteds? A load of loans out the door looking best-case.

De Laet and Bree cover

Samba cover for Davis as the big man up front too. Jedinak as cover for when Samba and Terry break down, in fact there's just been a load of square pegs dropped off round the back of the North Stand that we can use. Don't worry about cover.

I think the kids would say 'schooled' to that. You could counter that with J'Lloyd Samuel though.

and yet they've both played perfectly well there so not the same at all is it ?

[Matt C]

Gone quiet on McCormack hasn't it?

[The Edge]

Richards will unfortunately be going nowhere. There's nobody daft enough to take him.

He would probably fail the medical. His knees must be shot, how many games has he been fit for in the past year? He's been a disaster.

I'm not being nasty, but why don't we just write him off on the insurance?

oh you are so nasty!!

 they probably would have thought of that but he is probably still fit enough to play football

That could be sorted! I know a few wrong uns 😉

[The Edge]

Small Heath in for Wilshere now.

Just being dropped off at The Sty now

LOL 👏👏

Sunderland taking the piss on deals for McCormack and Elphick so looks like we ain't doing business.  Means we are stuck with them but at least for once we are not rolling over
