Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

[Mister E]

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?

Scored 20 goals last year for an average side from out wide. Weighed in with a fair few assists as well.  Scored against us at VP (from memory) at the start of 17/18.  Not one who is nailed on to make it in the top flight. But I'd be more comfortable spending say £12-15 million on a player like that or Reach as a bit of a punt rather than £30 odd million on Phillips (different positions I know).

Fair point.
Reach can play centrally as well.

Who have Wolves spent £45 million on?

I guess it’s about 32 making that Mexican permanent and 13 on another loan possibly?

Making Dedoncker permanent I think. Added to the £18m they spent at the end of last season making Jonny permanent.

It's about £60m to hold their current side together.

What, Project Levels Wanderers spending a fortune just to stand still? Surely not - isn't the £55 million for building a megastore in China?

Well in fairness we had to spend £30m on Mings, Hause & El Ghazi to not even stand still given the released players.

Project Levels Wanderers... I like that, I'm stealing it.

McBurnie is another Championship player who I think could make it.

[cdbearsfan]

He's a big lump. No ta.

And didn’t they let us know it. I just can’t believe that the bestest run club in history would be in the same boat as little old Villa. Especially when after spending £60 million they will currently be playing youth teamers if they have more than 2 injuries.

Anyway, back to Villa. I reckon Bowen would be a great signing. Have I got this wrong, but isn’t his old man a Villa fan?

The sky sports daily transfers special is some amount of toe curling bullshit. They even attempted to defend mike ashley there (as well as the dildo brothers). Don't rock the boat, no critical thinking that could impact on our access to any of the clubs, seems to be the motto, even more so than normal.

I'm getting a bit nervous about Douglas Luiz not being announced yet!

When you're a global brand like they are, you need to spend a bundle just to remind people that you're about to spend a second season in a row out of the lower leagues for the first time since your captain married a Beverley Sister.

As John Wanamaker famously said, "half of my transfer budget is wasted; the trouble is, I ay gutta cloow which 'alf idiz".

That's global brands for you. I'm glad that nobody outside of Lichfield has heard of us. I don't want to have to deal with all the goddamn glamour.

Paying Chinese fans to pretend to be interested in them?

[PeterWithesShin]

You do the greatest team ever a disservice, they spent a highly impressive 3 consecutive seasons in the top flight recently.

Yes, but none of them fingered a Beverley Sister. I understand, however, that Karl Henry did trombone a Chuckle Brother. The one that's still alive too, so fair play.

To be fair they used to be managed by Sammy Chung. As a kid my first Panini sticker album was 'Football 78' and it was the only one I ever completed. The holy grail of the last card needed to fill the book? Sammy Chung.
