Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

[Smirker]

That Nixon bloke is a bumberclart.

😂

[Hairbandinho]

Are we really in for Nakamba or wasn't it SSN understands?

Two reliable journalists are saying it's happening that are not related to sky so I would say unless there has been a dramatic U-turn it will be done.

[KevinGage]

He absolutely is.

The other bumberclarts look at him and cherish their relatively minor clart status.

Alan Nixon is a laughably poor journalist.

DS needs to sign another striker before deadline day. We haven't got the quality in depth up front. Surely he realises that?

I would be surprised if we don't sign another striker before the transfer window closes, along with another keeper.

I’ve been away for our pre season games so just seen scores etc. How has Steer been? Is a new keeper a necessity?

Totally useless. I reckon he never gets out of bed he’s that lazy.

He's based in the North west and used to have very good contacts at Blackburn and Burnley, was best mates with Owen Coyle so that explains Burnley. I remember him breaking our interest in Friedel and Bentley before it became common interest.

Not quite sure when he morphed into this transfer guru for all clubs though.

Generally to me John Percy is the barometer for these. When he says a transfer is happening, it's happening.

Percy is good but not always right. In January 2018 he reported we’d completed a double signing from Leicester - Ulloa plus another I’ve forgotten now.

Same here. There was no whiff of Douglas Luiz until he broke the story.

The Belgian reporter Kristof Terreur is all pretty spot on. Especially considering how many players we have signed from the Belgian league lately.

He actually knows all the Belgian players in premier league so guess it was a simple case of texting Benteke if he was going Liverpool, answer was yes and there's your exclusive story.

Has Kristof Terreur called the Nakamba transfer?

[mr underhill]

he broke it, saying we'd agreed to the fee they wanted.

[pauliewalnuts]

Agreed re Percy and Kristof Terreur - both are pretty much never wrong.
