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

[Drummond]

Deeney is a no.

Watkins is still bubbling in the background I suspect. Possibly Bemrahma too.

King did ok and would be a solid signing I think. He's better than AEG, Trez and Samatta.

As for keepers, I'd be happy with Romero or Martinez.

[pauliewalnuts]

Martinez actually looks like he'd be a bit of a coup. Highly rated.

[nodge]

I’m sure many won’t agree with me but with a week or so to us playing our first game I can’t help feel concerned that our signings so far amount to a kid from Exeter and a promising player from Forest.

I'm starting to worry. 

I’m preparing to start to worry.

I was impressed with Capoue at Tottingham and then Watford whenever I saw him.

32 now though.  But on a reasonable fee it gives us quality in an area we need. 

[frank black]

I’m surprised none of Watford’s key players have moved on yet.

Doucoure and Sarr are both really good players. Doucoure may go to Everton but we should be looking at Sarr.

Wages may be pretty high on some of their players I imagine

I also think a bit of experience in that holding/defensive midfield position (I think that's where he plays?) is no bad thing. Positioning is a big part of that position which only gets better with experience, and it's also a good place to be able to help and advise the rest of the team from as it's literally in the middle.

Reports in France say we're willing to sell Freddie Guilbert for £4.5m. I can only assume it's utter bollox.

I don't know, it's pretty 'Aston Villa'.

You'd like Capoue in the middle of the park?

[VinnieChase84]

Freddy leaving is quite possible. Not a decision from his side

[ian c.]

I would be very disappointed if Freddy left.

Martinez actually looks like he'd be a bit of a coup. Highly rated.

He looks a quality keeper whenever I have seen him, but one you would hope would be in from game 1 if it is going to happen.

Arsenal getting Raya key to this deal

[ozzjim]

You have to wonder what is key to Watkins, Benrahma etc then

[KevinGage]

Isn't Raya the keeper who got caught out in the play off?

Looked mince in that game.

So in isolation if I were them I'd stick with what they have.
