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

[N'ZMAV]

There's a few I'd be selling before Hourihane.
he's no world beater - but is he good enough at the moment to be a squad player for the 17th team in the Premier League? yes.

Whether people are are worried about lack of new arrivals or not, I’m just still thankful we don’t have to rebuild the whole squad again.

Also it’s nice to not have bunch of journeymen lingering around like the last 5 or so years.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Saw on Twitter that Dortmund in for Rashica now allegedly - I would imagine that would be game over!

Makes sense, They only have Reus, Brandt, Hazard, Guerreiro and Reyna that can play Left Wing.

I'd definitely take Cantwell whether Jack goes or not.  I think he's a really good player with an excellent attitude.  Very surprised more clubs haven't been after him.

I would also love cantwell in the side. He is perfect for what we need. Dynamic and direct with a great attitude and  high work rate intensity. 15-20m is a bargain ..........

Yep, that’s a great point about a squad with no journeymen. When was the last time we were approaching a new season and we had 3-5 high earners who did next to nothing on the books.
Some of our players may not quite be good enough to be first team players but they will give their all of called on.

We certainly need strengthening but it’s not a massive rebuild.

[Shrek]

Defo, we are for the first time in what seems like forever in a good position.
The squad will all be better than last year, maybe even Samatta... So it’s not as doom and gloom as some think.

Toney deal agreed with Brentford, hopefully that could help the Watkins situation.

[PaulWinch again]

Think we'll sign Watkins and Edouard.

After last season we simply can't take any chances upfront. Let's remember we played a whole month without a forward in the actual squad due to injuries.

Ideally I'd like a more experienced striker upfront even if it's just on a season long loan but not sure the club really fancy doing that again after not getting in Tammy full time.

That would be excellent.

[Des Little]

I think we’re holding out for Tammy, as well as Watkins. I hope so anyway.

[N'ZMAV]

Abraham and Watkins would be good.
Watkins was originally a left winger, so would give us options there.
Abraham wouldn't be cheap - but Chelsea have signed Werner and Giroud had a strong end to the season, so Abraham may struggle for game time.

I think he will, but I also think he'll give it a go until January. I can't see someone with his positive attitude and drive not backing himself to get and keep his place even with the new signings.

[Mister E]

I think until Lansbury, Jota, Nyland and Kalinic - for starters - are gone, I would not want to talk about not having journeymen in our current squad.

I'd say only the first of the 4 deserves that, the other 3 are guilty of nothing more than not being good enough.

Although to be fair to Lansbury he appears to be a decent pro, and well liked, which given he arrived with stories of missing training and acting the twat at Forest is something.

Think with Brentford signing Toney, we'll pick up Watkins within the next week or so.

[dorsetvillian]

Trying not get concerned but really would like to see a signing soon.

Hope so.
