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

[PaulWinch again]

Blimey it’s been pretty boring so far!

Easier said than done, but sign 3 or 4 class players around £25m each will ensure that we aren't around the relegation places next season. Pay a bit over the odds if necessary to secure the right targets.....the risk is the £200m penalty of relegation.

every Lille helps

Is there a Lidl in Lille ?

[N'ZMAV]

it is a bit slow - I hope it gathers pace... we've got a few duds to sell.

Apparently James Bree is in 'advanced talks' to join Luton permanently.

The longer this Rashica stuff goes on, the less i think he's a target of ours. None of the transfers last season were particularly protracted affairs, it just doesn't seem to be our style.

I think he is a target, he's just holding out for Panda Pop FC to see if they can scrabble enough money.

There is no plan B, because Rashica absolutely wants to play internationally in the next season, so Premier League club Aston Villa is not an issue.”

Basically, Milot Rashica wants to take the next step, Werder Bremen do not want to put any obstacles in his way if the replacement is right. The Kosovar has already decided to move to RB Leipzig, but the Champions League semi-finalist does not want to pay the €25 million transfer fee demanded by Werder. Aston Villa are said to be ready to go so deep for Rashica. But the striker is not playing along. For him, a move to the Premier League is quite interesting, but not to a club that, like Werder, has just managed to maintain its class. The national player also wants to shine with his club on the international stage.

If that stuff is true, we shouldn't be touching him with a barge pole.

'MR7' clearly sees himself as the next Cristiano

I hear he won't join after hearing that we already have a heroic #7 in Super John McGinn.

It's all taken from a blog though, isn't it?

I had no idea who he was until he was linked, but I'm sure that he's not so daft as to pass up a massive pay rise and a season or two in the shop window in the hope that a CL club comes knocking when there's no evidence that there's one that'll come near to paying the fee.

Brazilian Carlos Kaiser signing any day.

Former Charlton, Luton, Villa, Pisa, Celtic and Chelsea defender Paul Elliott is heading up a consortium to buy Charlton. I thought this was as good a place as any to post this.

As you say ‘if its true’ - I don’t think a single credible uk journalist has given anything on Rashica in this window - that may change later with the Sunday’s but at this stage it’s still a nothing story whether we are interested or whether he is either.

Isn't a German journalist likely to know more on this particular matter than a UK one?

Agreed. If true not the attitude we need.

Bidding £30m for Edouard apparently.
