Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

[sirlordbaltimore]

Whilst the prospect of Huth or Collins at this stage of their careers is hardly mouth watering. They're both superior players to Elphick let's be honest.

Not exactly sure either will have the legs for it anymore though. Mind you neither did Elphick.

They both were superior players, Huth could well be finished and Collins has looked semi-retired for about 2 years.

On that scale Elphick should never have started a career - in football.

At this point, we'd be better off getting Samba back, so that said, Collins and/or Huth doesn't seem such a bad alternative and beggars can't be choosers. We need the bodies at the back.

Why hasn't Sakho been picked up yet?

Are we saying that Club Management on football side have completely fucked this up and we are up the creek without a paddle?

Dear Mr Bruce,

Please look at this web site of free agent central defenders.

Here's 200-250 of them.

How about

Diego polenta

Or

Koen Weuts

Forget about Terry or Huth.

The German lad that was at Stoke was very decent a few years ago and on a free now too. You have to think a couple of these would be cheap and shore up the back 4

He's not played in a few years though.

After reading this I just shook my head and thought how the hell is Steve Bruce still manager of our football club?

[The Edge]

I think the biggest question at the moment is why sign Axel if you intend to use him at a right back, given that you have 4 other right back options in the squad.

I think the bigger question is why would the manager responsible for such massive fuckuppery still have a job?

It's the Curse Of The Stability Myth.

Specially when you know you have created a problem in central defence.

And that as well.
