Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

[UK Redsox]

If Hart is available on a free then there is no way that Burnley will let Heaton leave?

Pope is the starter and Hart/Heaton might be a bit expensive to keep around as backup. Maybe they have another youngster who'll be ok as their number 2.

As much as I don't like the idea of bringing in the likes of Harte and Sturridge, at some point I think we are going to need to do a bit of shopping in the bargain bins (comparatively, any way). If we're talking about spending another £15m or so on a winger, I think even with our owner's deep pockets, expecting them to shell out another £40m+ on a striker and keeper might not be realistic. I think we might need to at least look at moving some players on, or using them as part-exchange, before we make any more serious moves in the market.

Sturridge is such a Bruce signing it's not true. Let him go to Newcastle and sit on the treatment bench there.

Paper talk is that Newcastle want Charlie Austin, which another very Bruce move

think he wants Bolaise too

[pauliewalnuts]

Sturridge would be an absolutely awful move and totally contrary to our stated transfer strategy.

That's a Steve Bruce signing.

Hart would be even worse. He's finished.

Correct. This isnt 2013. Throw Benteke onto that list too.

Maupay is the striker I'd like us to sign.

And me.

[Smirker]

It's a no from me as well. I was open to it but now I'm not. We do need another striker though.

[SoccerHQ]

Joe Hart is terrible nowadays, surely that can't be a credible link.

Something will have gone wrong if we ended up with him being our new keeper when we've been linked to Etheridge, Heaton and Butland.

But would you take Daniel Sturridge on a pay as you play contract?

or would you take him on £25k a week with a high scoring bonus?

[Smirker]

I think we will pay what it takes to get Butland tbh. Can't we test West Brom for Johnstone? We know what we are getting with him.

I'd be very surprised if another forward isn't added to the ranks, we have 20 odd goals to replace without Tammy and if Wesley takes his time to settle, you can't see our other forward options adding many. I'm guessing the club are working hard to move Hogan on and send RHM out on loan or possible Davis.

[SamTheMouse]

Sturridge can fuck right off.

Preferably to St James' Park.

Johnstone's an OK shot-stopper but he can't kick to save his life.

I appreciated Sam's efforts for us in the 17/18 season but he's not good enough for the PL in my opinion.

[garyshawsknee]

Sturridge can fuck right off.

Preferably to St James' Park.

Or permanently to the bookies.
