Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

[Steve67]

Apparently we were the favourites to sign Charlie Austin at one point.  Just saying!

[Risso]

I'm still not going to relax or be happy until we've signed Mings.

Very true, me too Risso.  I want us to get Hause too, the extra height will come in handy with the set piece Coach we have.  Plus, I think he's a cracking, versatile player.

Assuming we get Hause, presumably it's Dunk or Mings? We wouldn't get all three, would we?

Given last season we had variations of Mings, Hause, Chester, Elphick and Tuanzebe back there, we still need one more on top of Hause and Mings.

[cdbearsfan]

I don't disagree. But think a young kid or some older bloke happy to sit on the bench would be more likely than signing a load of defenders in their prime.

If we could get Hause, Mings and Dunk I'd be happier than Mr Happy on his birthday  enjoying a seven hour Ecstacy binge!

Is Dunks Mrs happy to move from the beach?

Can't Hause be that young kid and Chester be the older bloke?

[cdbearsfan]

Would Hause want to leave Wolves' bench for ours? And I'm not sure if Chester is going to be fit but if he is I suspect we won't be signing three centre-halves.

I'd hope that he'd come in expecting fierce competition for his position rather than assuming he was coming in to start.

He wasn't in our strongest eleven in the Championship so I don't think he could expect to walk into the team in the Premier League.

I'd hope Mings + 1 + Hause desperate to prove he should start over one of them + Chester to fill in when needed.

[cdbearsfan]

Well, I hope you're right. We'll see.

[The Moose]

Could Hause replace Taylor?

[Steve67]

Dunk is a really good defender.  Him and Mings, and Guilbert, with Hause as back up, or at left back, is a pretty solid line up.

[Steve67]

Could Hause replace Taylor?

My vacuum cleaner could replace Neil Taylor, particularly in the attacking third.

Insert sweeper joke here.
