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

I’m on holiday in Birmingham on Sea at the minute.  I go here every year as a sacrifice for the kids.  The stereotype that is rather obese middle aged men with a massive chip on their shoulders wearing ill fitting Albion and Wolves shirts is quite real and disturbing.

Probably bullshit social media speculation but a few places saying Leeds are after Leon Bailey from Leverkusen.

If (and its a massive if) theres any truth in that then we should be all over that. He'd be my perfect signing for us this summer.

Yup, would be great. And if Leeds can get him then we should be ahead of them as he's just what we need.

I'd surprised though if they let both him and Havertz go this summer.

I find that hard to believe. https://twitter.com/JakobAVFC/status/1296965250651226112

They still expect to get over £100m for Traore and Jimenez.  They would need decent replacements though.  They already have a small squad.

Could be the first sign of cracks appearing. 

Nuno said after their Euro exit that he hoped lessons would be learnt and squad depth is increased in the summer.  Don't think he'll view needing to sell to buy as consistent with that.

And he’s in the last year of his contract.

That is utterly reprehensible.

Last thing I heard from Trippier was he's very happy there. Can't see it happening for us or any other PL club.

I heard he is concerned about regaining his England place.

Given Alexander-Arnold's development, surely it doesn't really matter what he's doing?

Well I'm sure he'd like to be first back up rather than Wan Bisakka or Kyle Walker as England always get a major injury or two before a tournament. Has Trippier even been called up for a squad since he moved from Spurs?

He's played well in Spain. Started all of Atletico Madrid's big games bar Barcelona away this season so would be pretty surprised if he came back and signed for us.

Got to love the mild panic from some on here when we get linked to a player over 25, would you give him a 3 year deal indeed. He's started about 40 games this season so think he's in decent shape.

Aston Villa winger gathering transfer interest ahead of new season

Levante, Granada and Real Valladolid are three such sides would be interested in taking Jota between now and the closure of the transfer window

Squad getting smaller...............but could be a good move for all parties
He needed a run of games to show if he was up to the PL but was never going to get it in a struggling team.

Bardhi is a decent winger for Levante so hopefully could get him in a swop.

Jota had a few decent games at start of the season but wasn't making the bench for months after that. If he's in the squad regularly next season that would suggest our transfer plans haven't gone well so yeah let him go somewhere to play more regularly.

Leeds also getting linked to Rodrigo at Valencia. This is the fear I have given the choice better players would rather go and play for Bielsa than Dean Smith. We'll see how it all pans out.

Hopefully we're holding fire for a bit and waiting for some good players from europa league clubs to become available. Valencia are in massive problems financially so I'd rather buy from there given the level they usually play than more randoms from Belgium.

I'd be surprised if Leeds out-muscled us in the salary stakes if we're both after the same player.

Jota was never played in his best position as a deep lying No.10.

He was never a right winger. Tricky but way to slow.
