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

Now being linked with Spurs GK Gazzaniga by Sky Sports. They say we’ve enquired about him

Doubt we’ll be bothered with the Pfaff

Looks like we're limiting our search to Argentine goalkeepers. 

Next January we might try B for Belgium.

Nah it's easy, reckon it's only a matter of time before we've Court-Oisne.

Jacky Muneron is settled at Anderlecht.

I can't see us taking a

heh. No idea how much money we have to spend but with them going loopy in the transfer market, the likes of loftus-cheek and Hudson-odoi are gonna struggle to get games. Just as an extra option in midfield as a loan is a no-brainer and doesn't stop us chucking money elsewhere. if they worked out, with the 1st team somewhat blocked at Chelsea now, then who's to say they wouldn't sign permanently

To be honest, when those two are mentioned it's generally as a comparison as to how ludicrous Grealish's absence from the national team has been. Hudson-Odoi would give us pace and trickery in the troublesome right wing position. Not sure about Loftus-Cheek, whenever I've seen him he has been very average. Smith doesn't seem keen on loans but a degree of pragmatism might be called for.

yep i'm not sure i'd be that happy buying them outright now, but on a try to buy I don't see a problem. All about being smart. Gives us another option without spending a fortune, and if it works out, given the players Lampard has, we could get a good deal

I'd take Hudson-Odoi on loan, I think he'll be a great player. Loftus-Cheek on loan doesn't make sense to me, he'd be a lot like when we took Mings, if it goes well he just becomes more expensive for us to sign permanently. With Mings it made sense because we were a league below and desperate. That isn't the case this summer.

I would hope that we had learnt our lesson by now about developing other teams young players for them. It would have to have a buy clause with an agreed fee.

Well its a bit of a different situation to the likes of Tammy. IF he came in, and had a great season for us, and maybe got picked for England then I wouldn't imagine the club would have a problem with a big fee. As far as the player is concerned, the way it is at Chelsea at the moment he could be going back to the reserves at the end of the season so we may be more of an appealing option that at first glance.

Matt Law in the Telegraph saying Brentford are holding out for £20 for Benrahma. If remotely true just pay it Villa.

But he may not be our No1 target.

Deal.

Exactly.

For £20, I'll pay it.

If £20m is accurate then I'd take him, I'd be amazed if they aren't looking for half again on top of that. That said I'd probably go  back to Rashica first and give him a deadline to make a decision and if he doesn't join then I'd go for Benrahma, I'm not entirely convinced that Benrahma isn't a bit soft for the premier league.

I think we have to accept that we may have to pay over the odds to get some of the players we need.

This. So far this summer our transfer policy is near shambolic. What the was point in waiting for Lange to come in to then have a target list of the names coming up!?
After January and the insane recruitment that meant we played all month with no striker I honestly thought we would push on.

McGinn spoke this week about Eden’s messaging saying we will push on and get depth in etc etc. To be a week from premier league kick off (I know by fluke we have an extra week) and have zero attacking players in is just not good enough.

Dean mentioned loads about Luiz situation coming in late and how we wouldn’t do that again.

Right now dean is being totally let down by Purslows penny pinching

I'll put the other £20 or so for Watkins.

As long as we're only after Belgian goalies.  Belgian strikers are a Hazard.
