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

[Legion]

Back to the bullshit, please.

[Axl Rose]

I remember reading your reasons for sticking up for Vill I An in the Muppets section, and found them commendable.

I now think you've gone too far, but anyway, that's a discussion board for you. Opinions and all that.

Apologies for getting irritated by you.

Ake just cost Man City £41m. He’s better than Konsa but not by a wide margin. Based on that value Konsa is now easily £25m as a starting CB in the PL.

Althouth he's only 22 - a relative baby in centre-half terms - I'm expecting a big season from Konsa, he has all the attributes required to be a top, top defender.  People also forget that despite being very young, he's actually quite experienced, given he was playing first team football at 18 for Charlton.  He's got more career first-team appearances than Tyrone!

I thought he was superb after the restart.  Looked just as at home at right back, which is the sign of a very good footballer.

Konsa shows absolutely bags of promise.

He's still going to make mistakes - he's only 22 - but he's looking like money well spent

Can’t recall what game it was but when he gave Mings a good bollocking for losing his man showed he’s not afraid to take that next step from a development and leadership standpoint. And that’s good for Mings too who I also expect to be much better.

Have there been any whispers murmurs about some of our fringe players leaving?
Kalinic and Lansbury spring to mind. I do know there was an article saying we'd consider letting some players leave.

I don’t think that will happen until the domestic transfer window extension in early Oct.

Yeah, I think loans right at the end of the window - Kalinic, Nyland, Jota, maybe Davis, Lansbury if we're lucky. Can't see much in the way of transfer fees coming in.

You cannot ignore 'quoted' posts or posts made by a member of the mod/admin team.

Who said that? Never mind carry on 😉

I did (optimistically) think Kalinic and his agent might be pushing for a move with the euros coming up.

I think we all live in hope with Kalinic but I think he’s happy to sit on his lucrative contract. Has he really got 3 seasons left?

Yes!

The Croatian Micah Richards?

[SoccerHQ]

Problem really is no mid level euro team can afford him, allegedly on 60k a week here although I find that hard to believe so rules him out of going back to play in  Belgium.

Would love to know the thought process behind signing him given he was a target for us a few years before. DS played him in 5 games and hasn't fancied him since.

According to the Neil we are open to offers for  Kalinic, Nyland, Guilbert, Engels, El Ghazi and Nakamba.

Diamond? Well, money talks......

Lansbury, Jota and Hogan weren't mentioned? Maybe those are just seen as obviously for sale.

The only one I'd be sad to see leave out of that lot is Guilbert, although wouldn't be against giving Nakamba another year to see how he develops.

should get about £42 for those lot.

Guilbert, Engels and Nakamba all showed good form in patches and I wouldn't be in a rush to get shot of. I know there have been reports of Smith falling out with Engels, maybe he doesn't get on with Guilbert? It does seem odd that we have prioritised replacing him when most here see a decent player in him.

Makes perfect sense to shift non playing goalkeepers out. Would possibly loan Steer out too if we did buy another keeper.

Surprised not to see Hogan, Lansbury and Jota on the list.
