Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

[tony scott]

 Maybe we should takeit to it’s logical conclusion ,have an unofficial result at the end of a match, let var review the whole match deduct any dodgy goals and provide us with an official var checked result the following day whilst we continue to lookin into games without refs.

How did you manage to revive the Summer 2018 transfer thread? That threw me for a moment.

From James "Ginge" Collins to Pau Torres. What a five-year whirlwind.

Think it's more a case of what might have been for him rather than us .

Christ we were  shite.

I do often go back top the start of threads to read about hope and optimism but often despair. this thread made me go cold

I quite liked Jack Marriott when he was at Derby. Now playing for Fleetwood.

I liked him very much when he came off the bench to sink Leeds in the play off semi final and virtually seal our promotion.

I have no recollection of Collins coming back at all under Deano, though according to Wikipedia he injured himself in his first training session and that was it.

If it was true, it's said James Collins refused a contract from Villa after that injury.  I'll give him credit for that if in fact it is actually true.

It was under Bruce initially. He'd been training with us in the early months of that campaign and was then offered a short-term contract. Soon after he was injured again (literally a few hours later) and - according to the bloke himself - tore up the contract.

I know our last few transfer windows have been a bit slow, but the fact that no one had posted in it for at least 120 days should have been a clue.

Not so much when he scored in the final with 10 minutes to go. Or when he helped knock us out the cup with Peterborough the season before.

It was his original shot but the goal was credited to Waghorn.
