Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

[brontebilly]

Dan Bardell thinks Bolasie is close. He's not one to speculate wildly

Bit surprised by that. And not sure I'm keen given injury record and some pretty average numbers. I imagine that bolasie and Kodjia in the same side could be exasperating!

Are we just going to pay the FFP fine then? Maybe I've misunderstood the FFP rules but thought wages/turnover was one of the key measures?

I think Bolasie would be a very good addition, he should be far too good for this level.

Agree he's far too good and even though his end product is generally lacking I think championship wise he would be amazingly effective.

Ojo is not what we want or what Liverpool would want as he would have shared minutes and maybe not enough games.

Let him go to reading or bolton or something

If we sign Bolasie and get him back to his best we will be a joy to watch. He isn't the finished article but in full-flight he's a very enjoyable footballer. I'd be ecstatic if we sign him.

Middlesbrough media suggesting Bolasie is at their training ground ahead of a move.

Close to what?

Yellow ticker on Sky....medical at Boro

How are we missing out to teams like ‘Boro!! Could it be that the ‘top’ teams in the Premier League are guiding their players away from us with a view to wanting to keep us down due to concerns over our new owner’s financial clout?

Or we may not have gone for him at all?

True story!

We may never know!

[Risso]

I'm sure there are good reasons, but why is it taking so long to sort loan deals out?

[OCD]

I think partly because of Premier League clubs holding onto their players until closer to the end of the window to make sure they don't get any injuries in the meantime.

I do love a good conspiracy theory but this sounds a bit too far fetched!
