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

Bidding £30m for Edouard apparently.

Read an article this week about him; it's going to be difficult to get him with Celtic all geared for getting the 10th league title but as an opening bid it sounds serious. Hope it's true.

Not sure about this. I checked, Celtic are in a worse position than any other club in Europe because of Covid. 36% of their revenue comes from gate receipts. little TV money. Its the highest in Europe. It accounts for £42m of their £120m income. Last year they made a £13m profit. With the Covid situation, if it lasts a while, they are looking at a £29m loss.

Edouard Would be awesome, If the stories are true, We do go out and get Ollie Watkins, Said Benrahma plus Milot Rashica that is our front line sorted.
Next a Midfielder to play along side SJM and Luiz, This one i want a wow signing and my wish would be Ross Barkley only 26, Get him firing again we would have a hell of a player. Yes i know he be on big wages but if we want get up the league then we have to start paying big money.

Around £150m for that little lot ?

I’m a big fan of Edouard. He’s strong and good on the ball. We haven’t had a striker that can contribute in build up play in a long, long time. He’s got good work ethic and makes great off the ball runs. His composure is exactly what we need in front of net.

I would be happy if we got him in.

Agree I hope it is true

if Edouard is as good as you all say; then surely there's options in a better position than us?

I doubt Stylian felt he was moving to a lesser English club.

Moving from pub football with Celtic to anywhere in the top 2 English divisions would be a massive step up, mind you Alan Nixon writing for Whizzer & Chips would be as well.

Was that the same for SJM, he has done ok!

Lesser club my arse. He can do one...

I get the sentiment, but it’s up to us to change peoples’ perceptions.

According to the gossip on BBC today Wolves need to sell Traore. Reckon he would come back.

A pal of mine supports Chelski and he says that the fans don't rate Tammy Abraham at all.

"Never in the right place at the right time"  and "Misses more than he scores". Also said Giroud was a far superior player as an all round CF.

My vote now goes to Edouard for similar money. Better all round skills.

I'm not sure what Chelsea fans think really matters. We've seen first hand what he can do

I do like the look of Edouard, if we can get him for £30m it seems a sound enough investment.

I would love us to go for the likes of Barkley and Smalling too, we need more experience and a bit of class, if we want to be a big club then it’s going to take a couple of big transfer windows to get the right players in.

As it stands I think we will struggle again unless we get 4 quality first 11 players, and by that I mean players who will come straight in and improve the first 11 not just squad players

Wonder if Samatta fancies a spell in Scotland as a make weight. He'd score loads up there, and could save us £10m. Not that I'm a big fan of Eduoard. Think I would sooner have Batshuayi to be honest.

I've never seen what the fuss is with Ross Barkley. He's alright but a tad overated in my opinion.
