Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

I think with a bit of perseverance, Jedinak can eventually become a decent centre half. Remains to be seen but it's obviously going to be a tough transition period. If he can adjust, it's a way of keeping his physicality in the side whilst improving the mobility of the midfield.

I have acute arthritis in my knees, legs, back and toes and reckon I could compete with Jedi

So Bolasie was at Villa park ground tonight and will be welcome addition I feel elmo should be one to step aside as one of front 3 with El ghazi and Bolasie coming in

Elmo is better coming from deep at right back for me

[footyskillz]

Is there suggestion of El ghazi as some sort of left back from the thread on him says he plays left back and centre back ??

What is the latest on FFP?

There was a lot of criticism on here that last season's loans left us with no legacy or long term plan.  How are we affording these wages and how is this approach any different to last years?

I welcome the new signings, but is this shit or bust again?

Go to the new investment topic and you will find out

Dear Steve, can we please loan a left sided central defender please?

That’s funny. I actually meant to type “I think Bruce thinks...”

In their report of tonight's game The Grauniad say that Tammy Abraham is expected to join us on a season loan.

Dear Steve, if you do, can you please play him there and not full back?

So we’re after another winger to go with the one we signed today and we’re linked with a striker. Have we been linked to any centre backs?

Seems attack heavy squad .
I had previously said I take Abraham over a left back loan but in two minds about a centre half or Abrahams as a loan..

 or can we just get Robert Huth on the free for a year as centre back.

Exactly. The area we need strengthening more than anywhere (in my opinion) is at centreback yet we’ve not been linked with anyone in that position. We’ll regret it if we don’t get anyone in and it could cost us big time.
I still keep wondering if he’s gonna get Terry back once August is over.

The presenter on WM reckoned we are after Targett from Sothampton, but I think he is a left back.

Think I seen somewhere that even free agents need to be signed by August 31 now.
