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

[The Edge]

For £20, I'll pay it.

Ffs not another DrX. Thought these guys were the real deal but they won't even shell out a score for a decent player.

[VinnieChase84]

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

disagree with almost every word written here.

We will see in 4 weeks. Currently options D/E/F being sounded out due to inability to close A/B/C

So we’re now penny pinching and the transfer window has closed?

I like the idea that we're penny pinching having spent about £150-160m in 2 1/2 windows since we were promoted. I'm also a big fan of ignoring the arrival of a new director of football and going with recommendations from his predecessor who was seemingly sacked for poor signings.

I have no beef with you, Vinnie, so genuine question with no underlying snide: you said that DS was going to be sacked regardless of the relegation outcome. Is your transfer info coming from the same source?

 You have absolutely no idea who we have as option A/B/C let alone D/E/F. And how do you even know if Purslow is suddenly penny pinching the owner’s money? Did you call him a penny pincher last year when we were the top net spenders in Europe?

Do you think A/B/C are unrealistic signings, or are we simply trying to get them on the cheap?

None of our targets have moved to anyone else. Until that happens then we are still on for plan A's. How long we are willing to wait out on it is another matter

So who were these targets we've missed out on in the past week?

[VinnieChase84]

Fine, I’ve said enough on it. Proof in pudding and happy to eat tons of humble pie in 4 weeks time. Truly hope I do.

I’m not having a pop at anyone it’s just my opinion based on some things I’ve heard today.

Re Deano being sacked regardless that was happening with 4 games to go. The turnaround and the short summer saved him. Said for ages Suso was gone as soon as season ended as well and that obv happened.

“How long were willing to wait is another matter”

Which is at odds with "So far this summer our transfer policy is near shambolic."

[VinnieChase84]

Last thing I’ll will say on it from my opinion is we would be better signing 3 people who are plan A/B by paying  slightly more to get them than signing 4/5 plan F’s

Ok I take Back the shambolic comment. More frustrated that the recruitment is leaving a lot to be desired at the moment

[Brazilian Villain]

Messi now staying at Barcelona. That's what happens when our board continues to dilly-dally instead of sealing the deal. FFS sort it out!

[kippaxvilla2]

I think Vinnie has slight inside knowledge but he also said it was all very hush hush these days so who knows.
