Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

[Toronto Villa]

Blimey is there a summary or like others do I need a free 2 hour window?

[Steve67]

Another thesis.

[Virgil Caine]

Can’t wait for the film to come out.

Cheers Allan.  Look forward to your next instalment.

[oldtimernow]

 Yes cheers Allan, they don't come along too often but well worth the time to read it.

Take no notice of the critics 

We might go back in for Scott McKenna from Aberdeen perhaps.

Joe Lolley is not just a winger too IMO

[ASHTONVILLA]

Seen us linked with a Dutch central defender from Huddersfield today (Terrance Knogolo) for £18m which is what Huddersfield paid for him apparently.

Any good? I stopped watching the Premier League when we left it so no idea myself.

Quick and can play a bit - looks ok actually.

+1 from me, I enjoy reading them - the last one was pretty much on the money IMO. I'd taken it from what Purslow had said previously that we were probably targeting the 3 positions you'd mentioned plus a few irons in the fire to strengthen overall - buy them if the price is right, it's not a problem if it isn't.

Some rumours of Kalinic to Nantes

Perhaps Allan could have a thread in which he can post these things? Clearly he works at them and people enjoy reading them.

Part exchange?  Have they any talent?

Could do with a synopsis for those that are meant to be working and just try to speed read before getting back to work.

The Allan Thread? Allan thread? Allan? ALLAN?

They were trialling something on the BBC website a few weeks ago where you read a simplified version of an article and then if you wanted it in long form with more detail, facts and figures you clicked on 'read in more depth'. Actually quite a good idea.

Going back to Allan’s post, personally I think holding midfield is the key signing. We have absolutely no cover there and I really think that position is make of break in the PL in a way it isn’t in the championship. Although even then we saw the difference an in-form Whelan made when it came to the ability of grealish and SJM to hurt teams further up the pitch.

I know such players are very expensive but if we spend big money on a defensive/continuity player we have a lot more flexibility to move players around in front of them.
