Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

[Axl Rose]

Belotti is very good on pro evolution. Do we need Phillips now? As for Benrahma, he'd be superb.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Watched Leeds yesterday and thought Phillips was superb. Having said that, we are well covered in the DM position now.

[OCD]

I think Smith wants 2 players per position though and we've only got 5 central midfielders that are definitely in Smith's plans so there's room for one more if we can get Phillips.

That said, he may be quite content to have Lansbury as the 6th midfielder and let BB go.

Is belotti really likely? Unless I'm missing something the stories I see online are of West ham failing with something like a 55m bid and we're surely very unlikely to be paying that much.

Season long with option to buy? I recall that was the done thing amongst Europe's Elite not so long ago as an FFP workaround.

We're being really greedy this summer, I feel like a kid ready to puke up in the car having spent all day at a friend's birthday party gorging on sweets. Please make it stop.

MORE CAKE.

Maguire    80m
Ake          75m       (quoted)
Tarkowski   40m.     (quoted)
Dunk         45m.      (quoted)

anyone still think we overpaid for Mings ?

[Ger Regan]

Brentford are just after confirming the signing of a winger. Presumably that allows a deal for Benrahma to be completed.

[mr underhill]

Belotti seems very unlikely but the guy on VT who seems sure we have an interest, was the first to call that Smith was our new manager. Just saying, like.

[Smirker]

Belotti doesn't fit with the low centre of gravity thing that was being mentioned. However I would welcome this signing. Let's hope its true.

What a summer it's been.

He's not huge though - he's under 6ft

So is the Belotti thing likely, do we think?

[paul_e]

Watched a few videos of Belotti now and he's a great finisher, that's undeniable, but I'm not sure how you play him with any of of other summer signings, he appears to be an old fashioned 9, and his wanky goal celebration puts me off.


For the first reason I suspect this one is unlikely for the latter I'm not as upset about that as I could've been.
