Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

[mr underhill]

I do  - but I thought he'd gone off in a public huff a few months ago?

Does the SSN transfer window countdown really need to have minutes, seconds...and 1/100th second?!

Agree, the one hundredth digit you can't read it anyway!

Maupay next hopefully


or Bowen as a complete suprise

I bet Bruce will go for Reach at Weds , suprised he doesnt get mentioned much . Reach I mean .

[KevinGage]

Reach and Bowen are the other ones that stood out for Championship level for me. Possibly Ollie Watkins @ Brentford as well. Like how he runs at players but he also has a bit of a competitive streak and not afraid to get stuck in.  In a team that wants to press as we do, you need that sort.

Bowen reminds me of SJM a bit - in fact when we played them he won the ball in their half and ran straight out, to be followed by one SJM - they looked like twins when they ran.

Maupay would probably make the step up.

I can't help thinking we need at least someone who can eke something out of a premiership defence and knows the current defenders weaknesses -I'm not sure there's anyone available though who isn't a classic Bruce signing though.

I watched a few minutes of that transfer show on Sky Sports the other day, all they talk about is Man Utd and other top 4 clubs, waste of time watching, all the presenters do is have there mobile phones on the desk, and keep looking at them as though they have some breaking transfer news, but in reality they are probably looking at Tinder!

Also since the slow demise of Man Utd out of the top 4, why do they know call them part of the big 6, if they finished 10th, would they call them part of the big 10??

Footy Skills (whither to, btw?)
I believe he has resumed his role playing Milhouse in the Simpsons.
In a strange way I rather miss his garbled nonsense.

What happened to him?

[Clampy]

The Paul Pogba saga is just another version of the Yaya Toure borefest which we had to endure every year until he finally buggered off.

[ChicagoLion]

Saw a report about Manure in OZ. OGS has really lost the plot, saying they need a Brian Robson with Robbson standing next to him.
He has been extending contracts, is thinking of making Pogba captain and making ridiculous bids for average players.
This could be a fun time to watch Manure.

Have we signed anyone today?

Reach and Bowen are the other ones that stood out for Championship level for me. Possibly Ollie Watkins @ Brentford as well. Like how he runs at players but he also has a bit of a competitive streak and not afraid to get stuck in.  In a team that wants to press as we do, you need that sort.

Bowen had a great spell last season which coincided with Hull's good run of form. But I don't remember him impressing me previously. Would we be signing a half season wonder?

[eamonn]

No, he was the best player at VP the last time Gabby scored for us.

[paul_e]

From what I've seen of Bowen I think he's a very positive player who likes to take people on but probably doesn't have the extra bit of brilliance to beat his man consistently to be effective in the premier league. A bit like Spuds signing clarke, I think a bigger team that can sign him with no intention of playing him for 6-12 months will be willing to gamble in the hope that they can work on his passing and crossing and make him more difficult to isolate but for us he'd probably expect to be a regular part of the squad and he's not ready for that, in my opinion.

I do like him though and I think he could be a very good player in a couple of years.

Dan Crowley going to the scum, how the mighty have fallen 😳
