Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

[cdbearsfan]

I reckon he'd be great. Wingers are exciting.

[PaulWinch again]

I think he’d be useful.

[eamonn]

Yes, let's move on to other Targetts.

[IFWaters]

OK, suggestions for a gettable centre back as a regular starter to partner Chester (the John Terry replacement).

This isnt who youve seen rumours about, but who you think we should go for as a loan or free agent

- John Terry (!)
- Gary Cahill - in last year of his contract, possible loan to buy deal ? (its a stretch I know)
- Robert Huth

[Steve67]

                     Nyland
Elmo       Chester     Tuanzebe    Targett
                    Jedinak
Adomah    Grealish   McGinn    El Ghazi
                      Kodjia

Bolasie for Albert, if he signs. Only four loans there but with Moreira on the bench?

[Ads]

There is no difference in the financial packages offered by either us or Boro.

[mike]

I'm conflicted, I don't want him to sign for us because he's Zog 2, but I don't want him to sign for Boro as he is a mercurial, game winning winger.

If loans all used up the looking at out of contract centre halves which are free agents so can be signed.

Would only do  1 year deal on these

Huth 33
Wollscheid 29 (was at Stoke past)
Nedum Onuoha 31
James Collins 35
Gareth McAuley yes 38 but maybe worth a season Swansong.

But all as capable as Jedinak and are actually centreal defenders

[footyskillz]

I'll be back with loans

[Nastylee]

Comparisons to Zog are pointless. This fella won't be with us for eternity if he's shit. FWIW I reckon that he'd be pretty good against the cloggers in this division.

[DB]

We need CB that has to be our priority

[brian green]

If he prefers to live in Middlesborough voted city most likely to shorten your life expectancy rather than the Sylvan glades of Arden then he must be stupid.  We don't want another stupid player.  It's the only category we have who outnumber our right backs.

[brian green]

Bring some beer and some pizza footy. 

[footyskillz]

Premier league cheeky lend us one of yours loan moves

Centre back edition realistically...with one outlandish to balance the dross - based on No minutes played and not selected this season !

Saiss wolves
Martin Kelly palace
Mings Bournemouth
Holding Arsenal
Alderweireld Spurs
Mariappa Watford
Kaboul Watford

That's about it on established names !!
Probably youngsters around the top 6 available but should we and would we??

I posted up about Bruce on Jedinak thread  being adamantly adamant that Jedinak is centre back and that's where his future lies so I'm not sure Bruce want a centre back desipte us all wanting someone !
(Interview on wm after match)
Also says
He's more focus on this attacking player as he keeps talking about a lack of strikers completely disregard and distancing the defender issue !

[brian green]

I respect a man who is adamantly adamant.
