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

EDUARDO CAMAVINGA is who I want next for our midfield as we need 2 players who are young with resale value.

I think £28m plus add on should get him

Me too pal, but I think the best clubs in Europe will as well.

I was joking with the £28m comment .......£45m - £60m would be needed but I can dream

I'd give both my bollocks and an eye for us to sign him but can't see it happening

[Legion]

Never heard of him.

Those goals are quite similar to the ones Abraham got for us i.e. the kind Wesley and Davis will never get. I seem to recall Watkins having a field day against us on the left on at least one occasion so he has a bit more to his game.

He had a sparkling career for us on my Championship Manager, sitting in behind Jack and Joao Felix!

[Holy Trinity]

Never heard of him.

Hes young  athletic and has one hell of a career ahead of him.

Hes a bit of a cross between yaya toure and Patrick vieria and hes only just starting out. Hes destined for greatness

[ADVILLAFAN]

He can't be that good or Brentford would have signed him

[N'ZMAV]

Camavinga is off to Real Madrid.

Watkins, a lot of money but he's only 24 and will work his nuts off for Smith.  Good luck getting Bananarama in for anything less than £35mill now though!!  Get another couple in, plus a keeper.

Just watched the video of Watkins goals.  Height, pace,  skill, makes good runs, can finish from inside and outside the box.  Looks great - however I'm sure there was a similar compilation of Hogan from his Brentford days (minus the height).   

Also either he's great at finding space or he came up against some shite defences - he was in acres pf space for some of his goals.  Also note that the service to him from Brentford's wide players was pretty impressive, but he still got himself in the right places to take advantage.  Not sure I can see him getting that kind of service from Trez and  AEM though.

£28m+ looks a bit steep but it all depends on how he does - it could look like a proper bargain in two years time.  Glad we're signing him and prefer him to C Wilson.

[ASHTONVILLA]

Would the people moaning about the price be moaning more or less if we went another day without buying someone?

I'll put my hands up on this one, yes. I would be worrying we hadn't signed anyone, and I am concerned we  have paid too much.

Out of the two I prefer this, afterall he could be rip roaring success or might fail. No new striker is a definite relegation though.

We have shown ambition, and filled a gaping hole in the squad. Like all here I will be hoping he is a big success.

Lots of price hikers on this one:

We are desperate for a player in that position and everyone knows it.
We’re minted
No attitude or injury baggage
Right age
English
Versatile
Sell on clause
Strikers are always too expensive

Spurs fans appear to be unhappy which is good enough for me.

[Des Little]

Right, who’s next in? And who thinks we’ll get another striker?

[ADVILLAFAN]

Assuming we get Watkins, then I think a Winger is the priority.

Expect Bournemouth to reject our offer for King.

[Richard E]

King would bring love and pride to the club.
