Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

If you pair Chester and Sainsbury you get where my father-in-law does his weekly shop.

Leo Bonatini apparently signing. So the rumours go

We've needed someone who can play as a central striker, hold the ball up & link play for some time. Bruce's biggest mistake last season was not addressing this position. It was the main position we needed sorting & Bruce didn't do it. None of our forwards (except Davies) can play this role. If Bonatini is that man, I'd be happy.


Keep Kodja & let Hogan go.

Knowing Hogan he'll go too early.

expect Bonatini left wing then

[mr underhill]

Bonatini central with Kodjia and Albert left and right would be good - as long as we have an effective midfield

I can't take anything seriously in this thread until we have an idea as to the future of the club.

Does anyone know when we're supposed to be back for pre-season? Leeds are back today, I guess our lot get a week or so extra due to the late season finish.

One piece of good news is that Alex Bruce has signed a new contract at Wigan.

[mr underhill]

good to know

[Dave P]

They said he started on fire then faded badly then found out wasn’t getting signed so form dipped even more.

Yes, he went through a stage where he seemed to be scoring every week then dried up a little. Would be a decent move if there's any truth in it.

Dried up a little??  He hasn't scored since December!

I saw a quote re Bonatini that the club were happy with their forwards and were not looking to sign any more.

You'd have to say with Kodjia, Hogan, Davis and RHM we're well stocked in that department.

Plus we have Fat Ross grazing in the reserve paddock

[mr underhill]

we're not buying anyone though, are we?

Not really.  Kodjia would be better employed as a wide forward, Hogan has been ineffective for the majority of time he has been here and Davis and RHM are still very inexperienced.  Grabban going (not that I was a massive fan) has left a bit of a hole.

If Fat Ross is grazing in the reserve paddock I hope they locked the gates.
