Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

[ozzjim]

Boro taking Whelan would be a blessing. I would keep Jedinak for a season more.

Would we accept 25m plus Snodgrass for Jack if West Ham offered it. I fear they might see it as a way of getting Snodgrass out.

Would have thought you'd still have the same problem with ffp. 30 year old on big wages, no resale value - he obviously would be valued at something on the books. I think for now any players arriving will either be cheap older one's like whelan or one's we believe we can sell for the same or more in the future.

Signing Fred for £44 million. Likely spent £36 million on Keith too I would imagine.

Jedinak and Whelan would be minimal sale fees as they only have a year left to run on contract. Expire this time next year.

Both will be on decent wages though Skillz, so getting at least one of them off the books would still save some money even if the transfer fee was pretty minimal.  I think Pulis for one would definitely take Jedinak.

We need one of your annual free agent updates Skillz to see who is out there to be snapped up.

I did it previously I'll bump it up..

Inspiring or not there's a list to be sniffed

I'll have to have a future look at the league 1 options and further afield as there could be some value but like to think could afford players at that level and not only frees.

Bolton seem to have whole team of players who could go and they did so well to stay up given their financial plight. millwall also have some key players and a lot for expiring.
I imagine they would both struggle next season if losing all those (and others not listed)

[AsTallAsLions]

I think the only players I'd want off that list are (at a push) Hennessey and Gunnarsson.

Luke Shaw obviously, but he will go to a bottom half PL team.

You wouldn’t want 20-odd goal Bobby Reid?

You're right I missed that, if he has the option in his contract they'll surely activate that though? He's fairly young too, would be a strange one

Front two of Fernando Torres and David N'gog....that would sell me a season ticket!

Names don't look great but at start of the season Cardiff signed Mendez-Laing and Holliet and they've been regulars in promotion winning team.

If we sell Jack I'd take Oztumer from Walsall. Plays the number 10 role and he's scored 30 league goals over past two seasons. Seen him live plenty of times and think he could play in the championship no bother.

Edit: Wasn't Jordan Graham playing really well for Wolves before he got a bad injury? Struggled for games since but could be tempted back here for unfinished business?

I actually think there's quite a few players who would improve us on there.

[Dave]

I agree. Given our feasible options in defence at the moment consist of Chester, Elmohamady and Bree, we might find that a season from say, Robert Huth isn't the worst thing in the world.

Worth noting that the summer window shuts at the start of the season, which I prefer actually.

Would take him on a free but he's hardly played a game at Leicester since they won the league. Didn't see any of him this season anyway so at his age he could have an injury that pretty much ends his career now.

Yes he did he ACL I think was out for ages and hasn't gotten a game since as a free might be worth a deal , few others on there don't look too bad Sahko from Palace was good at this level plenty of pace and power. A few of the keepers are not bad shouts at this level either Myhill not done too bad when played at WBA

[SoccerHQ]

Myhill was in our youth system. He married a girl from Sutton so would probably want to stay locally.
