Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

Targett would solve the square pegs in round holes issue.

Depending upon where oh wise one plays him :-D

Bruce would probably play him at right back.

Bolasie
Snodgrass
Abrahams
Long
Targett

3 of these would be just the ticket to a top 2 place

The Bolasie of three years ago would be amazing at this level.  He was pretty good in the 0-0 at VP on New Year's Day a couple of years ago (a terrible game however). But he's 29, and been out for a year with cruciate damage. How many games did he play for Everton after his return from that injury? And after those games, they've decided to loan out their £25m signing? Something doesn't quite add up for me.

Would love to know if anyone actually watched him play for Everton towards the end of last season, and whether he still has the pace he used to have.  I would hope our medical would be extremely stringent, and scouting reports would know if he's lost a yard or three.

We all know we need some pace adding (as well as class of course) so i can't understand the constant pining for Snodgrass to return

I like the bloke, but he ran out of steam last season and he's just going to get older and slower

Plus, i'm sure any loan deal for him would have to include a buy next summer clause which we really don't want to be saddled with i'm sure

If it's a loan to buy then no thanks.

Does El Ghazi exist? Who is he?

I think he was a the character played by Kenneth Williams in 'Carry On Up The Khyber'.

You can't beat carry on camping.

Infamy

[TheMalandro]

Thank god for that, he's signed a new deal at Juventus.

No Pjanic signing for us.

[Chris Jameson]

Not sure how anybody can decide this El Ghazi person (if he or she does actually exist) is a better option than, anybody really, having only first heard of them today on here. He or she might be a world beater or a very good stripper but equally they could be *insert name of a rubbish footballer here* or Katie Hopkins.

I remember being bamboozled by Bolasie whenever he played for Palace and thinking what a very,very good player he was.
I would love him to sign for us, but am not getting too excited in the expectation it won’t happen.

He’d play him right back?

It's not hard, to be fair: seven goals, and fourteen assists.

What team, that could be a genuine contender for promotion are in position to pass any player up with that sort of record, which is already proven in the Championship? He may be 'old', but he's clearly not a spent force.

One that's just signed a 23 year old left footed midfielder who's already notched up 3 assists in two games and that will be on about a third of the wages (if that) and cost about a third of the price (if that) and has about 8 years on Snoddy ?
