Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

Heskey in central midfield was interesting. Also Hadji played at right-back and all across midfield; but was definitely a striker for Coventry.

Hadji, bloody hell - had completely forgotten he played for us. You're right though.

I recall Hadji being on the pitch but don’t remember him playing.
😇

talking of Hadji  , Id have  that u21 romanian player . .   

He looks a fantastic prospect, and is surely available given he's currently playing in the Romanian leagues. I've seen some ropey links to Arsenal and some stronger ones to Sevilla but he'd be worth a look at the £7-9m level that been suggested. He'd be great as the option off the bench for Jota and then replacing him over time.

That's Georgie's lad isn't it?

So when do we think the next signing will be - this week, multi buys next week.

They are back to training soon so I would have thought their main business would have been done by then.

Maybe I am just impatient

Yep.

Yep.

The bloke with the chip shops in Erdington and Sutton?

And 11 years ago we spent around £9m on Curtis Davies, we've just spent £3m on Hause.

You should know that MONomics defied all logic.  Anyway he also sold Cahill for 5m and the fee for a Davies now would be nearer £19m or even £29m.  Not sure how we got Hause so cheap - perhaps Wolves know something we don't?

I would sign Rondon ,won’t be to expensive and can play the lone striker role when it’s needed.

It's mostly because the fee was already in the loan agreement and at that point he hadn't played much for over a year and was heading towards leaving on a free next summer. I reckon we'd have been quoted double if we hadn't had the agreement in place, Same for AEG as well, this is why Purslow has been clear about not taking loans without a future fee agreement included.

Mings would've been £6-7m if we'd got an agreement for him as well but they thought they might get a bit more if he had a good few months. i still think the Mings fee (which will be undisclosed) will end up being in the £12-15m mark, which is still meaning we'll pay double what we would've if we'd signed him outright in Jan. Talk of £20m is nonsense (although there might be clauses that could see it go to that).

You can see why they didn't opt for a full deal with Mings though, with his horrendous injury record.

Benitez off then

As unconvinced as we all are about Neil Taylor being good enough at LB, I'm not sure if fat Rafa is the answer.

Be a good time to purchase any decent players they have. If they have any!

[UK Redsox]

NRC at centre back was another interesting move but i can’t remember which manager did that

Expect Gary Monk to buy Che Adams for them and maybe Gary Gardner

[JUAN PABLO]

Robert Skov should be on our radar
