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

[Mister E]

Previously decent players that might struggle to get selected this season:
Ndombele (spurs), Loftus Cheek, Ampadu + Bakayoko (chelsea), Ghendouzi (arsenal), Fred (Man U).  Anymore?

Of all of those, the one that would make the biggest impact and fit in best would probably be L-Cheek - how's his fitness, and would Chelsea let him go (notwithstanding the new players coming into their squad)?

Just looking at some of the free transfers available and Gotze and Clyne are on the list. Great/ good players a few years ago and since lost their way. I know Gotze has never hit the highs since World Cup final in 2014 and struggled when he moved to Bayern, can play all across the forward line and could be worth a gamble.
Not sure what happened to Clyne (injuries?) since he moved to Liverpool but still relatively young (29) to offer something.

1. We don't need anymore right backs
2. Do some search on clyne (I won't be posting here site rules which I abide) and yourll perhaps be enlightened

I hope that's ok to say admin.

As in he suffered a massive ligament injury? How scandalous.

It gets worse. Because of his injury, he didn't bother to go training, the bounder.

I Googled it out of curiosity.  He once had a party. And alcohol was there. And women as well. Big news in the Daily Mail.

How out of character for a young footballer.

He didn't invite me.

Starting to wonder if Vill I An is some sort of militant Mormon or somesuch. Has a very low standard for what constitutes a 'scandal'.

[Dave P]

The Walcott dream is alive I suspect as Everton bringing in players could squeeze him out.

I haven't checked this post for a few hours and I come on to this gem.

Surely that was meant tongue in cheek?

The upside of that deal is that we wouldn't have to cope with his aerial prowess again.

The downside is we'll have to deal with his shooting as the miss at VP proved.

It might be Vill I An's Victorian values, surely refreshing in these licentious times.

[Dave P]

We're getting to the stage where any signing from outside the UK is likely to have to isolate for 2 weeks and would miss the start of the season anyway.  We'll probably find a premium added to domestic players more then usual.

My favourite ever letter to Viz went like this:

"Dyslexia? Bone bloody idle, more like."

It was signed by "Victor Ian Values".

I think he also stated Walcott was a Gentleman too.

I think there were some rumours from Liverpool supporters around his lifestyle choices whilst injured.  Dunno how much of that is idle chatter, mind.

At least we know he knows how to enjoy himself at a 'Villa party' 

[aj2k77]

The Trez, Hourihane, El Ghazi and Samatta timebomb is still ticking. I hope we're still not waiting for Brentford to check their answer phone messages. 37 days gone, 18 left until the big kick off.

33 days to go in transfer window, that’s the significant one

Wrong, we stayed up by a single point. EVERY game is vital because as is we are the 17th best team in the division and in for another season long struggle.

[ozzjim]

It's says much that we have reached the point of discussing a player at a party that doesn't play for us and we haven't been linked with. Considering the importance of this window, it's a bit rubbish so far.

Everton are going to have a very decent team if it clicks aren't they.
