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

It's his cousin, apparently.

nephew  , bit of a wonderkid . Ass thought they were getting him once.

I've  seen cousin and nephew mentioned. Relationship seems to vary; similar to Christopher Moltisanti and Tony Soprano

Ah, so he’s Carmella’s cousin. Thanks for clearing that up.

I know everyone focuses on the now but I am dead excited about how we will look in terms of youth coming through in 4 or 5 years time.

Presumably you've seen the same article I have - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8221425/Arsenal-ready-blow-rivals-water-bid-sign-Feyenoord-sensation-Lamare-Bogarde.html.

I had heard of the other 2 but Bogarde was a new name on me. He's got to make something of himself before he could do what his uncle did.

Saw his uncle Humphrey play in Casablanca a few years ago.

Fuck me, he'll probably be older than Obafemi Martin's true age.

Absolutely. There's some really good work going on at the club. From what I've read, we've been hiring some of the best coaches around for all the youth levels and we're picking up some of the best talent around the continent. The first team is quite youthful and in a few years time there will be some good integration going on.

There's a rumour on social media that Rashica is pretty much done and will be announced tomorrow. Add that to Martinez and the total spending is up around the £80-90m mark. That's probably enough left to get the cheaper but big signing in midfield and get another striker in as cover if we move Samatta on.

That would be a very good window where we've given ourselves a chance, even without the added striker.

Rumoured that we are trying to sign Chukwuemeka's brother, a striker at Northampton Town.

Think he is called Caleb, as suppose to Carney.

That would be nice. I would be surprised if the Rashica deal was that advanced though. Martinez doesn't seem far away though.

Still can't see Rashica happening, something just doesn't sit right with it.

Martinez is a really good signing though, and gives us a solid number 1 for the next 3 months while Heaton gets up to fitness, then a genuine fight between them.

I do think a loan in the midfield makes sense to put more into the second striker signing.

[fbriai]

I can't see that Rashica deal happening either. Think we are more likely to pick up Benrahama, just late on in the window.

I used to see him training on a Tuesday night, as the Northampton kids train at Moulton College where I play 5 aside.  He's very quick.

He can't be that quick, you could still see him!

I wonder how long a work permit will take if we sign Martinez soon ?
