Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

Is he a left back?

Yep - and a very good one at that! Can't believe that a premiership side is going to come-in for him at that price. Fingers crossed that this one happens...

Fingers crossed for no more Taylor.

His YouTube vid is very good.

I don't know who he is.

But he's 5' 7". Doesn't fit into Pulis 4 giants at the back theme.

Left back from Bristol city linked

well at least SB knows Taylor is rubbish

[Drummond]

My suggestion for a song

Brian the babe they called Brian
He grew, grew grew and grew
Grew up to be, yes he grew up to be
A boy called Brian, a boy called Brian

He had arms and legs and hands and feet
This boy whose name was Brian
And he grew, he grew and grew
Grew up to be, yes he grew up to be
A teenager called Brian, a teenager called Brian

And his face became spotty
Yes his face became spotty
And his voice dropped down low
And things started to grow on young Brian and so
He was certainly now, no girl named Brian
Not a girl named Brian

Boro agree fee too supposedly. Straight fight between the managerial dinosaurs.

The Bristol City left back looked really good whenever I saw him last season, work with somebody who supports Bristol City and asked about him last season but he mumbles so haven’t a clue what he said. He’s never enthusiastic about anything so probably just as well I didn’t hear what he said.

That's the best ITK we've had for a long while.

Sounds like the West Country farmer from Hot Fuzz!

Is this fella better than Barry Douglas?

[Russ aka Big Nose]

As a Brummie living in Brizzle, I can tell you that City fans love him. Some rate him as their best player.

Flint scored goals - as did Bobby Reid - and that will always generate attention and interest, but Joe Bryan is a good defender and very good going forward. From what I have seen, I wouldn't say he is spiky but he is tenacious and has something about him.

He is Bristolian and has been at City for a long time, so if he moves then it is signal that he wants to progress and is ambitious, i.e. he could stay at his hometown club - though that will upset most locals as they will mistakenly claim that a move to Villa is not a step-up. With Baker and now Andi Weimann at Ashton Gate, he will have people telling him (if he wants to know) that Villa is a bigger club and a better prospect.

A very good deal for £6m and we have to be a better bet (even with Bruce) than Boro and Pulis. UTV

[AsTallAsLions]

I'm confused. How do we suddenly have £6m to spend on a left back?

Adama sell-on clause windfall FTW

Mendes is doing us a favour already !!
