Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

[rob_bridge]

Yeah I definitely feel like that. Irrationally suspicious about how positive I’m feeling!

On the other hand, while there are always uncertainties in football, I reckon with transfers it’s usually the bleeding obvious things that cause problems. Oh, that out of contract has-been with a dodgy knee and a lousy attitude didn’t work out? Those French players in key positions who have been thrown together under a halfwit manager aren’t settling? That streaky player who likes a pie of two doesn’t like training, the one that’s got an attitude problem but if he can recapture his form of 2 years ago etc etc. You look back and realise we were taking a gamble that we could defy the likeliest outcome.

You can pick holes in some of the recent signings individually - Wesley probably the obvious one. But you really have to go out of your way to do it.

Wesley and Luiz and the big gambles in the key positions. The rest aren't especially if they have wage reductions in the event of relegation

The shorter striker thing is interesting. Was Maxwel Cornet one of the names mentioned? I heard a rumour a while back of us having a scout watch Lyon 7-8 times last year (from a friend who lives over there and met the guy at a couple of games) but I never mentioned it because there were links to one of their midfielders at the time (Tousart) so I'd assumed it was to watch him. Cornet is the guy he's raves about though so that would be an great link (although he's been linked to Liverpool a fair bit).

I doubt we'll sign him, he's too much brass.

Simione has been mentioned as well as luiz muriel, Defrel and lautaro martinez from seria A and from France khazri(never heard of) and Ghoddos who aparently we have looked at him in quite some depth. I just know hes from Iran and pretty quick across the ground but as far as I know absolutely none have been bid for just names banded about a bit

Was at Sunderland during their relegation season. Looked as alright as an attacker could realistically look in that side. But still not great.

Ghoddos really looks very good to be fair. I've never actually looked at him before and I think hes only 26 and can play anywhere in the final third. For the right money I wouldnt say no

We'll be waiting a while if it's him.

I hope we don't have to wafer long for him as well.

He'd fail his medical, he's got Funny Feet.

Remi Garde wanted to sign him IIRC.

You wouldn't get a response like that on that smaallheathalliance.com

That's because I'm from the Shires and I'm from a long line of fanny's.

The source of the rumour is a bit flakey, so I'd say the chances of him coming are a 99%

Hope he signs, though, he'd be Fab.

If he can bend it like Beckett it will truly be Happy Days, SE.
