Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

Ha, like it.

[Risso]

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.

And I reckon we've still got a lot more than that to spend.

[Tuscans]

Spoken to Cahill and Axel loan move could still be done.

#AnnoucePhillips

Well stranger things have happened....he’s turned down Leeds first improved offer

[kippaxvilla2]

Percy reckons we are trying to get Axel back on loan.

Cahill not close after initial talks, allegedly. He doesn't say why, but if true I can only assume it's wages.

Would love Heaton and Phillips in. Think that would have us in good shape for the friendlies, with hopes of 2 or 3 more in just before the deadline.

Yes, a loan move for Axel is a possibility. I think he'll be back for the start of the season. Should sign Cahill as he's on a free. Need another 2 CB's.

Heaton would be an excellent signing.

Still need 2 combative midfielders, a winger, another striker and another centre half.

There is no chance Axel is coming back. He just signed a new deal at Man U and will be competing for a starting spot. Plus we’re not taking an loans and certainly not ones where we won’t be buying them at the end.

Manure here in Perth for 10 days playing our local A League team and Leeds and now know Axel is in the travelling party.
I wish I could get to see him and convince him to come back to us on loan.
I thought he was great for us last season and could be a future England international.
He had a great partnership with TM.
They will go for Maguire and another expensive option and they are about to self- destruct in the early part of the season.

I think there’s a chance Axel will come back. It’s hard to see him becoming a regular at Utd considering he’d have to displace Maguire (or another new signing), Lindeloff, Bailley, Jones, Smalling and Rojo. I think they’d like to see how he does playing regular PL football for a season so could benefit from loaning him out.

I know we don’t want to keep developing others teams players but might make an exception for someone who could fit straight back in, and would be wanted by Dean. We’re not going to fix every position in the first window so may have to accept the odd short term fix.

[Brassneck]

I don't want to loan Axel.  If we can't sign him permanently then I'd prefer to move on and draw a line under it.  We don't even know for sure whether Axel is ready for regular PL football yet anyway.

[frank black]

I’d take him on loan to help us bed into the division. If we can do this and prioritise the transfer money in other areas why not. Needs must and all that.

Agree.
Although I could accept loan with option to buy and price agreed version. That would be as good as a permanent buy, but, with the option of sending back if it doesn't work out

[PaulWinch again]

I’m fine with a loan for Axel.
