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

Getting worried about the time its taking for signings.

This is tongue in cheek, yes? Just checking...

[mr underhill]

no I agree, glaciers move at a quicker pace. Sort it out Villa.

Looks like we're going into the new season with the dreadful range of striker options we finished the last one with.

Do we ever learn?

[mr underhill]

that's no excuse!!

[PaulWinch again]

Targett is ok as a squad player. We definitely need a first choice.

I've always rated Rebus above him.

I see Tammy isn’t starting the cup final. Come on home man.

I don't think centre half is essential. Mings and Konsa look very good together and we have two centre halves as cover.

If we're strengthening in defense, left back should be the priority to push Targett down to sub and push Taylor somewhere that isn't Villa.

Not for me, happy with Targett as first choice and Taylor/Hause cover.

It was very noticeable that many teams targeted our right flank as a weak link, regardless of who was playing left back.  I'd say it's one of our top priorities to get a LB in that's better than the current options.  Targett could make a decent attacking left midfielder.  Haus could make a reasonable backup CB. Taylor could make a total disappearance for all I care.  None of them make a decent left back.

I’m quite happy with Targett tbf. There are more pressing targets elsewhere on the pitch I think.

I see there was no Loftus-cheek on the bench for Chelsea.  if not injured, I hope we might be interested in him.  Tammy and Loftus-Cheek combo bid.

That would be something. I think loftus Cheek is quality if he stays fit. And Tammy obviously!
In terms of Targett, he’s very good going forwards but suspect positionally and pace wise defensively. I think he can still develop positionally wise, which could make up for a lack of pace, but I’d try and get another LB in to push him.

Priorities, get a move on Villa!

[villa `cross the mersey]

I can't see us signing Tammy unless Chelsea are willing to send him out on loan

[dave shelley]

He looked properly pissed off, before, during and after that match, it will be interesting to see how this all pans out.

[mr underhill]

slap in a bid tomorrow Dean
