Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

I’m enjoying this transfer window due mainly to the fact we don’t have to interpret the ridiculous emojis of a mentalist chinaman.

Bristol City and Aston Villa linked with Chelsea left-back - everything to know about Jay Dasilva

All you need to know about the England under-20 international

Bristol City are closing in on a deal for Chelsea youngster Jay Dasilva.

Chelsea are expected to sell or loan out up to 15 players by the end of August, and Dasilva looks to be part of this offload.

Bristol City defender Joe Bryan will complete his move to Premier League club Fulham today after he made a U-turn on Aston Villa at the 11th hour.

And Dasilva is set to be his replacement although there is late interest from Aston Villa.

Dasilva spent last season on loan at Charlton, made 44 appearances, and looks set for a move to the Championship. At Charlton he was named player of the year.

“I’m definitely surprised,” Dasilva told Charlton’s official website after picking up the honour. “But I’m very delighted and proud to have won it.

I suggested him on this thread about a week ago, he's pretty much exactly what we should be after, if we can get him with a 'future fee following promotion' deal then we should do everything to get this one over the line.

First time I've seen deadline day in TV.

It's a load of sausage wrangling isn't it?

I actually miss the emoji tweets. And I've been wondering which string of emojis the good doctor would use to get across the developments in the Joe Bryan transfer.

Stuart James: Been told that the Ryan Woods to Swansea deal is ‘definitely off’. Player ready to travel and do medical, but Swansea not willing to pay the £6.5m fee.

[Arsey]

considering at the start of the window it seemed incredibly likely Chester, Grealish etc would be sold it hasn’t been a bad window.  Hopefully, we can get a few more in on loan. Can we still do loan deals until the end of the month?

I assume that ship has sailed for us, similar sort of position to McGinn?

Woods seems more a player to sit in front of the back 4 with McGinn more up and down the pitch.

For me Hourihane place under threat from McGinn.

Woods is more of a defensive midfielder who sits in front of the back four.  From the clips I have seen, McGinn looks more of an attacking midfielder.

Lukas Nmecha to Preston.

Wasn’t he the guy with us on Monday @ Hull??

[cdbearsfan]

Yep.

[GarTomas]

Yep.

Mayb he saw all the long balls knocked to Kodjia and thought fuck that for a game of soldiers.

Gone to Brizzle apparently

we're onto the loans then...

left back and a striker please.

It wasn't a straight swap, they just sort of cancelled each other out. I think there was a week or two between the deals.

It was a swap. We signed Albert 31st Aug, Adama went the other way same day.
