Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

Brentford are signing a new striker. Maupay incoming?

Yeah - Ecuadorean, Joel Valencia  (SSN)

[Duncan Shaw]

He put a beauty of a cross in on Saturday, which was millimetre perfect for a big number nine. Just a shame that Davis had gone off for Hogan a few minutes before, who calmly watched it whistle past his nose.

Yes, that was the highlight of the game for me - the prospect of those early crosses inviting someone to bundle them in is exciting.

This made me laugh.  A lot.

Would prefer if it was Hogan outgoing.

That would make sense Hogan needs a fresh start and we need a striker.

[mr underhill]

i think the only way he (Hogan) is leaving is on a free - honestly , who would pay any fee for him? His performance against Charlton was woeful. At best he's a third tier player.

I remember an article when we were flirting with insolvency in which the journalist said he'd seen Hogan's contract and the figures were 'eye watering'.

Edit - not a journalist, Kieran Maguire, the football finance guy

So Gueye has signed for PSG. Does anyone still think that he, Veretout and Amavi weren’t good enough for us?

 

[Steve67]

Sheffield United trying to get McBurnie rather than Maupay.  Unless Brighton are interested, surely he’s waiting for us to move for him? Would be a useful addition I think.

I’m not sure anyone has ever said that. They were  poorly coached and all thrown in together, with a poor coach.

Never believed it at the time.
Sadly we were being run by idiots.

Pretty sure they did.

I remember standing up for Veretout amid general disdain.

I still think Amavi was shit though.

I remember standing up for Amani. So there.

Ah but would you have Amavi in this team?  I probably would.

[paul_e]

Amavi in this team would be much better than he was under Sherwood, RDM or Bruce. He had bags of skill and a fantastic cross on him but needed some coaching on his defence. I get that for some people a full back with defensive issues is irredeemable but for me having the natural ability to get forward and have an impact in attack is a massive bonus (as we're seeing with Guilbert).

[JUAN PABLO]

Paddy Reilly did get a bit of crap I remember for getting us these players , It was Sherwoods rubbish I was more annoyed with.
