Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

Cahill and Sturridge could end up at Newcastle if Bruce takes over.

Bruce and Barcodes, you say? - perfect combination!!



... for the Chumpionship.

They’d be there or there abouts.

The problem with young and hungry was that those traits were substitutes for actual quality, as opposed to going hand in hand.

Yep, signing young players with the ability either from a lower standard league or not getting a chance at their club and planning to work hard with them in training is very different to what Lambert did.

Benteke has been mentioned again. My heart says yes but my head isn't so sure. He wasn't consistent at Liverpool and was a passenger in most of the games I saw him play for Palace last season. His confidence appears to be shot and I would be wary of buying a player who's last two moves have not worked out. There is no way he is currently worth what Liverpool or Palace paid for him. I would be tempted to take him on loan though.

Advanced talks for Konsa. Tick over £10m.

Much better value than £30m on Webster.

Konsa from Brentford being talked about on twitter with talks ‘advanced’.
Don’t know anything about him, but with them signing the dick from Leeds, is this just 2+2 or some real mileage in it?

Really good young ball playing centre back. Nice to be going for these kind of players...wasn't that long ago we had James Collins here trying to get a deal :S

[Toronto Villa]

He’s a very silky player with good pace and bags of potential. Already an England U21.

Can we not just go and buy out the recruitment team at Brentford?

On SSN now about Konsa

Does anybody else think the signing of Konsa means we're signing Tuanzebe on loan again?

Makes perfect sense to bring in a younger player to integrate into the squad ready to replace Tuanzebe once he goes back to Man U.

No...they're the same age.

Another Brentford player?

Fair enough. I just have a feeling we'll get both for some reason.

Liked the look of that Kongolo at Huddersfield.  Dutch international already and still plenty of time for him to improve as well.

If we're moving for this lad at Brentford it probably puts the kybosh on that.

I'm not sure, I don't see us doing loans personally...especially from another club now in the same league. It benefits more Utd more than us and it kinda says there aren't defenders to buy which is obviously not the case.
