Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

[Arsey]

well yes but those clubs have spent money.

Couple of deals very close to completion. Exciting to see the level we are loaning at

according to Transfermarket website, Forest have the biggest net spend at around 27mil, wtf is going on with them?

It also had us at -16mil net as they have us bringing in 10m for Amavi?? So 20mil when Adama goes to Wolves??

Only Swansea and Norwich appear to have a smaller net spend

After all the reports of our financial woes this summer, you do have to wonder how clubs who have been in the Championship for some time and had money problems like Forest can spend that kind of money.

What sort of level we talking Frank? Premier League or European equivalent?

[mr underhill]

Abrahams might be one and Snoddy he other?

Now I’m confused (again). I thought the transfer window closed on 9th August but now Gregg Evans is tweeting about the end of the month.

Can anyone clarify?

[cdbearsfan]

Can only sign players permanently until the end of next Thursday. Can loan players from the Premier League until the end of the month.

i thought it was only non domestic from the 9th and it had to be linked to a buy option?

[Clark W Griswold]

I think you can pick up free transfers as well until the end of the month, so maybe Huth or similar...

You can pick up out of contract players whenever you like, can't you? Don't tell me you've forgotten Robert Pires?

Not that I've heard, not sure now.

To be honest I'm not sure exactly what the rule is but yes we've picked some up mid season in the past, Chris Sutton being another.

Abraham confirmed as the striker we want then.

Would be very happy with that, can certainly finish at this leve and pace to get behind a back 4.

Pointless him staying at Chelsea.

I should have put a question mark in my comment. I can imagine that the quality we loan will be an indication of our new owners vision and funding. It’s a massive shame we have some real shits hogging our wage bill otherwise we could really do a lot loanwise.

I'd be pretty happy with Abraham, gives us more pace, but I'd still like us to look at moving Hogan on if we d bring in a striker because I want to see our kids get gametime as well.
