Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

My top 3 gets for 2020/21


John Swift £5m

Eberechi Eze £17m

Said Benrahma £27m

Quality, speed, right age and resale value or am I wrong?

Guess the Saudis just don’t understan’ tha Geordie peepl.

Like 99.9 per cent of humanity.

Apparently,  the Geordies are heart broken......stuck with fat Mike

I still think they’ve got Ake mixed up with Mings. Similar hairstyle though.

Iheanacho is better than anything we have got, and given a season in the championship I am pretty confident would have banged in as many as Tammy. Realistically the next step for us is to get better players than we have in key areas. Iheanacho would definitely be that, as would Batshuayi. We are not going to go and get a 20 goal a season striker very easily, attracting them would be pretty tough. I very much doubt Leicester are letting him go though, Vardy is injury prone and they have not got a lot of depth there.

Batshuayi might be a decent shout Jim. I can't see him going for all that much as he's fallen well down the pecking order at Chelsea.

I have no idea if Iheanacho is the answer but totally agree with your comment regarding a 20 goal a season striker.
If Tammy was available for us then it's a no brainer, after that it's a real challenge. We have to have more goals from our forwards.

With Iheanacho; he might be 10% better than Wesley but they’d want £30m.  Whereas £30m could get a player that is easily 30% better than Trez/El Ghazi.  We cannot improve everywhere so we need to prioritise and drive value.

I’m hoping Fulham shank the play offs, mainly because I’d like Mitrovic at VP. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but I rate him.

Same. Cardiff need another goal to force ET

I'm the other way as I'd quite like Benrama

Ideal result for potential signings is Fulham out in the semis, Brentford out in the final.

Soft spot for Brentford though, being the small fish (relatively speaking) in the contest

[Mister E]

Well I'd be pleased if we signed Iheanacho.  Seems to have been developing at a decent rate, and despite playing second fiddle to Vardy this year, he still got 10 goals in 26 appearances.  Don't think we can turn our noses up at that to be honest.

You surprise me.
