Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

How? Is FFP no longer a concern?

[Toronto Villa]

I want us to invest well not measured by how much. I have a hard time believing given what we know we'll spend a lot, but keeping Jack and Chester while adding 3 or 4 pieces will be ideal.

Sheffield United now favourites to sign Woodburn apparently.

If we are backing Bruce then both Hugill and Powell are decent signings. Hugill gives us what we desperately needed last season which is a target man to hold it up and get on the end of things, Powell would be a cheap but potentially very decent replacement for Jack were he too go, but also give another option if he doesn't.

I am of a mind if we have the funds we need a target man, a fast winger and a creative player in the final 3rd over and above what we currently have to compete next season as its 46 games and apart from Adomah most of our options there are made of glass.

Ideal world we get Snoddy, a Hugill type and Woodburn who has pace from the left. We would then have the options to change games but Woodburn will go where he is told to by Liverpool to get the most games, and rightly so from their view.

Still not really linked with a centre half yet. We need a couple of them! Makes me think Terry might return in a cheaper capacity.

Hugill apparently signing for Palace.

so Benteke's available then?

I would take him back in a heartbeat!
Wishful thinking though I think

Some Brentford ITK saying personal terms agreed with Woods - but not the fee.

[Russ aka Big Nose]

Exciting as it is to think about strikers and pace going forwards, but I would first like to see a decent centre-half and a left-sided defender (fullback/wing-back).

Jedi might start alongside Chester, but I would prefer him anchoring the midfield, plus that leaves Elphick as the first back-up (or a starter if Jedi is in midfield) and that is scary.

You know, that's actually pretty damn good.

Good day sir thanks all your posts are also dam good ! Don't let anyone tell you different!

[Three Spires Villa]

We need at least one centre half, and a left back, left sided player, depending what bruce plays

Surely it doesn't matter what order they come in, just as long as they do?
