Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

[cdbearsfan]

McGinn is going to be playing alongside Jack Grealish. He's hardly going to swap that to play alongside pish like Pogba.

[Duncan Shaw]

Could there be a shock departure? - McGinn maybe to Man U

Stop that!

he didn't start last night ,  I will shut up now

A lot of people now asking that on Twitter....

[Rudy Can't Fail]

With marvellous, Luiz a goalie and another striker coming in (most likely) it seems we budgeted for a spend of around £175m which is fecking incredible !

I think we've spent on building a squad for the next couple of years. Next summer I imagine we'll only add a player or two. Smart move in my book.

[Clark W Griswold]

No chance, this will be an upgrade on Lansbury or Thor. Or we might keep them all, i know a lot of our youngsters don't have to be registered in the 25. I'm getting the impression we're hedging our bets the way we're going, to put it crudely 'sling enough shit and some of it will stick.'

[Smirker]

McGinn isn't going anywhere. Especially not to a tinpot club with no ambition, like Man Utd.

[Toronto Villa]

Chelsea sent 40 odd players out on loan. So outside of the size of their actual squad they had that many additional players to send elsewhere. We are nowhere near that deep. Look at the bench last night. I get we were missing players but it does thin out. We need to have players who when we bring on does not reduce the overall standard. For too long we have had that drop in quality. I hope now when we take off Jack or Douglas we can bring on Jota. Bring off or rest Mings bring on Chester or Konsa or Hause. We need quality depth.

Manure are going nowhere fast under OGS and a championship signing like McGinn (as he would be viewed by those arrogant twats) would be made a scapegoat.

We are delighted to confirm the signing of Douglas Luiz from Manchester City, subject to a work permit -AVFC

[Risso]

If we haven't got Champions League qualification stitched up by Christmas at the latest I'm going to be very disappointed.

[Clark W Griswold]

We're back aren't we. I mean, i know when we won the playoff final there was an element of that but are pretty damn confident that even as we stand right now this is the best squad we've had since MON left. It could look even stronger by the first game.

Quick look at the ages in the squad and I make it that we currently have 26 players that we'd need to name and most people want to add 2 more (Keeper and Striker)

GK
1 Steer
2 Kalinic
3 Nyland
4 {NEW}

RB
5 Guilbert
6 Elmohamady
7 Bree

LB
8 Targett
9 Taylor

CB
10 Chester
11 Mings
12 Hause
13 Engles
14 Konsa

MD
15 Makamba
16 McGinn
17 Grealish
18 Hourihane
19 Lansbury
20 Bjarnason
21 Tshibola

WI
22 Jota
23 El Ghazi
24 Trezeguet

ST
25 Wesley
26 Kodjia
27 Hogan
28 {NEW}

U21
Douglas
O'Hare
Green
Davis
RHM

So I reckon we'll move on Bree, Tish and at least one from BB, Lansbury or Hogan.

[London Villan]

Luiz?

[paul_e]

Luiz?

U21 (and down as Douglas) We won't need to name him.

[UK Redsox]

Tish will be sold or more likely just released

[Smirker]

Just Icardi and Butland to go then.
