Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

Can't be a Bruce signing?

My thoughts too. Would be interesting to know who came up with this one if it wasn’t Bruce. Sounds a promising player.

It's going to be Jonathan Walters on loan, isn't it...?

Nooooooooo please no.

About as un Bruce a signing as it is possible to get.  Don't mention the Secret Santa video before he has put plume a papier.

[olaftab]

Nick Powell is a great shout.....if possible?

No worries Bruce will keep him in the U21’s as long as possible.

Moukoudi could commute.  Le Havre to Dover.  M20, M25, M6.

Forgive my ignorance, but why is this not a Bruce signing?
We don’t know a lot (anything) about him so how have we come to this conclusion?

For me, its yet another player coming in to make a huge squad even bigger.
Why Bruce cannot MANAGE the ones he has at his disposal is beyond me.

What a fecking lucky manager he is.

If he plays up front then you know it’s a Bruce signing.

Of course, I should have known, and that should say ‘when’ 😉

[mr underhill]

Is Mendes behind this and El Ghazi?

[brian green]

For sure it ain't  Remi Garde.

This one makes perfect sense to me. We've been missing somebody to throw-on up front for the last 10 minutes since Chris Samba left.

[achilles]

Really can't see how this potential Moukoudi signing is going to help us at all, he might in the distant future!

He plays for a second division French side and is only 20 years old, so you can't expect him to come into the side anytime soon!
We already have a PL CH playing at right back!

[Matt Collins]

He's not a mendes client. Alan Nixon says this is a Bruce signing which surprised me

In other news, footy nugget now says "it's not happening". Not sure what it is. My guess is Abraham

We need to be only signing players who are going to go straight into the starting XI at this point.  No point in signing any other players "who need a bit of time" and are just going to add to an already bloated squad. 

We need a starting centre half to partner Chester, with Tuanzebe as cover and Jedinak as further cover in times of crisis along with Bree and De Laet if they are still here.  Elphick needs to go if a new arrival comes in.
