Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

[Rudy Can't Fail]

American midfielder Keaton Parks at Benfica and Norwegian GK Orjan Nyland playing for FC Ingolstadt being linked.

Media here saying Parks is just an inquiry for next season 2019/20, not this coming one, should we be promoted.

[mr underhill]

He's way too raw for this year anyway - big unit, mind.

So what positions do we reckon the 5 players that we're apparently after will cover?

Hopefully for me, in order of urgency;

Centre-Back
Left-Back
Striker
Centre-Back
Striker
Winger

Interesting also that Bruce has described Moreiara as "one for the future" despite being on a year's loan (!). If that's the case I wonder if he might also have an eye on another keeper...

I have a feeling four of the positions will be 1, 4, 7 and 11 considering those numbers have not been filled. Maybe an extra centre back for the 5th.
7 being a midfielder of some sort and 11 being a striker.

Nice if Abrahams is No 11

If Bruce is trying to prove he can bring in quality, surely that rules out the likes of Huth for centre back, only due to age, and the fact that he was injured all last season. 

[Tuscans]

Beyond me why we haven't put in a cheeky £668 million bid for Modric yet.

If Bruce is trying to prove he can bring in quality in his 4th window it doesn't say much for what he's done in the others.

Is there any basis to the Abraham hope?

[kieron]

Hope is the basis.

I'm not sure bull I'll tank the lord if he comes.

I vaguely remember watching us play Chelsea at VP on what must of been one of his first ever games, about 20 years ago, it's a no from me.

Is that a euphemism for bashing the bishop?

[mr underhill]

I'm sure a catholic could tell you

His release clause fee is set at £669M that’s why.

We are talking about THIS window. Let's wait and see.
