Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

[Tuscans]

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

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

rip-off then

Anything over £600m and I'd walk away

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.

In short they got a new owner and historical debts were written off they also sold Oliver Burke and Assombalonga for large fee's

Orjan Nyland

Apparently he used to play for Hodd. I think by that it means he played for the Norwegian side Idrettslaget Hodd as opposed to playing under Glenn Hoddle.

Nice if Abrahams is No 11

He was number 1 all over Europe when he sang with The Smurfs.

It is encouraging that we’re trying to bring in ‘four or five’.

Being close to two is also great. This keeper and, hopefully, a striker.  Benteke ;-)

If the rumours of another keeper coming in are true why did we bother signing the young keeper on loan from Portugal?Just seems a waste of a transfer when we have Bunn & Steer for back up

Because both Steer and Bunn are utter shite maybe ?

My thoughts exactly, it's odd that he's been called "one for the future" with our situation we need one for the now.  No point in loaning a player who you are not planning on playing, especially in our situation.

Cus his agent is Jorge Mendes. Bruce doesn’t want to be outdone and show who boss really is so is bringing his ‘own ‘ keeper in ?

[PeterWithesShin]

Pretty sure Bunn is out of contract. Maybe we intend to sign Moreira permanently but have taken him on loan for the season and we buy him next summer as a way to help with FFP?

But what if there's a bidding war?

Bunn is - and always has been - crap.
Steer hasn’t really covered himself in glory.
I’d have favoured Sarcic getting the 2nd slot behind a decent first choice. Clearly, Moreira's arrival changes the dynamics somewhat.

Four or five goalkeepers?!?
