Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

Conor speaking on sky sports now. I do like that training top.

Would be good to try to offload some of our fringe-players as part of the last couple of signings, too. Surely we could do a deal with Brentford to take Hogan and Bree as part of a deal for Maupay, and I'm sure Lansbury and Bjarnason would get into Stoke's match-day 18?

I think Dean has plans for Lansbury . I think he rates him higher than most of us do.

Yes, I think of all the also-rans like Hogan and Bree etc, he'd be the only one that gets a shot this season possibly.  Even so, hard to see him getting much time with the like of Grealish, McGinn. Marvellous, Luiz and even Hourihane ahead of him though.

I think fully fit and focused he's a better player than Hourihane. His passing is very good, and I don't mean 40 yeard Hollywood balls, just clean and crisp and well weighted.

You might be right it's difficult to tell

I do think that if Lansbury and Hourahane are playing major parts in our season next year we will be struggling in a survival scrap
neither are good enough for the premier league in my opinion

highly remiss of the club not to have bought someone today.

I’ve been saying since quite early in this thread that Etheridge will end up being our keeper due to some Cardiff city inside info down here....  press just started that info again

[Matt C]

Never really noticed Etheridge - is he any good?

I'm no expert but with the figures being quoted he looks very good value and he's as good as Butland.

I just noticed on SSN that we are supposedly in talks along with Noocastle to sign Harry Wilson from Liverpool.  Make of that what you will.

According to a scouse mate he is class.

[Percy McCarthy]

Hope we get him.

[cdbearsfan]

Signing or loan?

[mallo]

Would rather have Wilson that Maupay I think - even if it was a loan.

[Smirker]

Signing or loan?

That's what I was thinking, surely we wouldn't go for a loan, but why would Liverpool sell?

They do tend to say that about everyone who comes through their academy though.
