Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

[Villafirst]

Cahill would be quite a statement and make everyone hate us even more.

A serious statement of intent. Our owners won't mess around with billions in the bank.....

[SoccerHQ]

He still has England ambitions.

Would be amazed if he dropped down to the championship.

Would guess he'll try to force his way back into the Chelsea side and then move in January if he hasn't.

[Chinchilla Bathhouse]

There's no way on earth 32 year-old current England international Gary Cahill is going to join us this month. If he does he's totally lost his mind, and we've already got brainless centre halves covered.

Matt Law / Telegraph reporting that Cahill is going stay at Chelsea and fight for his place.

[OCD]

That would be understandable. If it was a straight choice between us and a loan move to Turkey, maybe.

A Turkish journalist on Twitter has tweeted that we've made attempts to sign Cahill on loan.

Any source ??

Chilli and garlic mayo obviously...

Cahill staying where he is - shame he would have been useful
Call to JT?

[mr underhill]

we miss him a lot - not least for his leadership qualities. Even at 37 plus a better bet most of the time than Jedi

West Brom have inquired about RDL - loan with a buy option, apparently. Bruce needs pistol whipping if he lets him go.

[footyskillz]

Maybe if RDL isn't involved tonight then he may be off?
I don't think wise either but said in pre match thread that think Bruce don't fancy him and has his elmo

Btw Marvin Johnson left footed winger ( can do full back) being a talked of for sheff utd loan from Boro.

Now I think be usedul addition to ourselves and use him as attacking left back a far more current way a full back plays .

I don't think boro would want to give to us similarly RDL should not be loaned to then lot whose interested.

Think it is becoming quite apparent that Bruce either doesn't rate De Laet or there is some kind of problem between the pair of them.   

[Nastylee]

He featured heavily in pre-season and looked pretty useful. He then vanished again the moment the season started. Strange. But then again, the whole pre-season was weird with the 3-5-2 that has never been since. Not that we have enough centre backs to play it.

[Malandro]

He still has England ambitions.

No he doesn't 😂

[mr underhill]

RDL's two match ban didn't help his claim for a palce , but I think Bruce would be mad to get rid.
