Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

[garyshawsknee]

I guess you can add Lansbury to that list, though his development under DS has been stopped by injury. On the keeper front, I think it'll be a risk to go into a new league with two untried keepers, especially behind an inexperienced defence. Would have liked Butland, but screw Stoke and their ott demands.

Depends on how much we really spent on Jota and El Ghazi of course.  I reckon about 68.8 mill. So far.

And one itk journo today reported we won’t be happy until another 8 or 9 signings have been added on top of those already done
FairPlay that’s one of a hell of a backing from owners and the biggest overhaul of a team I can remember anywhere in 1 window

4 years ago under Sherwood was quite an overhaul. I think only one player from the FA Cup final team started the first game of the following season, less than 3 months later.

The biggest close season  overhauls I can remember were that summer under Sherwood and the summer BFR joined. I think BFR brought in Sealey, Staunton, Ugo, Teale, Mortimer, Richardson, Regis and Dalian. Then in the days pre transfer windows during the season he bought Kubicki, Parker and Barrett.

At ten million quid Burnley are welcome to Rodriguez who turns thirty this season. Hegazi is a clogger and a red card waiting to happen in the Premier League. As for keepers , I wouldn't mind Heaton but he would be my third choice. Butland would be my second choice. My first choice would be Etheridge. He really impressed me in a stuggling Cardiff side in the Premier League last season.

Hegazi is a Pulis-style all-in wrestler who, as Damo says, will be a VAR liability.

Agree with the last few comments about Hegazi. Baggies friends all agree that he is slow, has the turning circle of a barge and is a liability. Avoid.

Stoke need to sell Butland, this is their chance to cash in and they’ve already signed a replacement. All part of the negotiation games.

But they don't need to sell him to us. And keep in mind the other interested party is Bournemouth, who we've just given 20m to play with.

Hegazi is a pony.  I think he's absolute shite.

Hegazi is a pony.  I think he's absolute shite.

More likely, he’s the stalking horse for getting Webster.

If Butland is so keen to want to leave then put a transfer request in

Soooo old fashioned

He wont do that. It would fuck his loyalty bonus.

[Tuscans]

Heaton, £7 million bid put in....

Very good keeper, makes sense.

John Percy suggesting we are still hoping to bring Axel back on loan.
