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

[KevinGage]

Aye, madness if true. Good luck to him.

If their main forward options this season are Joelinton, Wilson and an injured Dwight Gayle they'll still be involved at the arse end of the table.

Some papers reporting Burnley want £50m plus for Tarkowski. West Ham have bid £27m so far.

[paul_e]

He isn't worth anything like that so I suspect that's a fee that really means they're not planning on selling him, much like us putting an £80m tag on Jack. There's only a handful of clubs in the world that see these sorts of fees as an asking price rather than a polite 'f**k off'.

[SheffieldVillain]

Problem is for West Ham though is that was their justification for selling Diagana, to raise money for improving the defence. They might find themselves boxed into paying more than he's worth to try to keep fans onside.  I think they're in big trouble this year. No new signings made yet and apparently have a big wages bill so still need to sell unwanted squad players, best young prospect sold, captain slagging off the owners on Twitter, it doesn't bode well for them.

[Sexual Ealing]

It's a real shame for them.

For what its worth i heard King is going to ManU in January when ighalo's loan deal is up. they bid for him last january and he's a bit of a fanboy. Not sure that stops us bidding but if your on a promise to join the club you support for 100k a week..........

[PaulWinch again]

He’s also come out recently basically asking Manure to bid for him.

Callum Wilson signed for Geordies £20 million.

[Chris_Jephcott]

I had hoped we would hear some news today about a new signing. It’s just the more that this drags on, the more opportunity there is for events such as the Wilson saga to happen.

[Axl Rose]

Decent business by Bruce really. Wilson, Fraser and Lewis-any of which would have been a good signing for us.

Let's hope we've got a surprise up our sleeves.

Sounds like he is signing most of Dads Army. (Who played Lewis)?

[Sexual Ealing]

He's dead.

I read that Wilson has been offered a 5 year deal at the Geordies? No wonder he has gone there.

Going by those Purslow comments, Newcastle are able to offer better terms too. More money, longer term contract. You can see what he's thinking. Probably his last big contract.

Yep, think ~£100k/wk for 5 years would be hard to turn down for him (assuming he's wanted roughly what he was getting paid at Bournemouth), and we're right not to pursue him on those terms.

And this is the problem with signing 'established' Premier League stars.

yeah distasteful.. For me being a Man U supporting footballer is something you should keep in the closet, like being into BDSM or dressing as a furry.
