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

[Chris Smith]

I wonder if we're still going to get that midfield enforcer signing to make us all a little giddy. A seasoned pro who has done it all and is winding down a little but would still be a clear upgrade on Conor and Marvellous.

I think you miss Whelan?

I miss George Boateng more!

I read a book called the dammed utd . Brian Clough signed a battle hardy vet Dave McKay to bolster the midfiled.
Sounds all very Martin O'Neil , Steve Bruce.
Not very Dean Smith way.
Grounds though for wanting a player like that perhaps still to have the sort in the squad.

The midfield talk has been of a number 8. Brings the creative flair , ball retention, competitive nature and energy to the midfield.

Older posters than me will have to correct you, but Clough would have signed MacKay because of his passing ability.
He wasn't the bruiser you've just imagined.

He was fairly old when Clough signed him and if I remember rightly he used him as a sweeper. I think there must have been something of the thug about him though as he later managed Small Heath for a couple of years.

and he signed him for Derby anyway. He must have been retired by the time Clough went to Leeds.
think skillz may have meant his compatriot John McGovern.

Clough was the best English manager if all time, Leeds didn't deserve him.

Ain't that The Truth. Paisley may be as good mind, and Leeds didn't deserve him either.

Carlton Palmer would be the obvious choice.

I can always remember the first time I saw Carlton Palmer, he was playing for the Albion in what was a pretty low-key derby against them in the 2nd Division in 1987. They had quite an old fashioned kit with really short shorts, and his legs just looked ridiculously long.

So are we buying Rashica?

[Holy Trinity]

So are we buying Rashica?

Someone on twitter says he wants a relegation release clause for what we are buying him for and we have said no. Apparently they have come to an agreement which means no release clause but he will be allowed to leave for X amount should we be relegated.

Thatcherlover? Well fuck that.

[Risso]

He's an absolute clown.  Can't believe people actually follow what he says, bizarre.

[Holy Trinity]

I dont know, he's seems to have been pretty spot on this window.
Ive never followed him outside of this one though

[SoccerHQ]

well watching last night we need to shift El Ghazi to fulham/watford/baggies , he just isnt good enoug and a few rumours going round Rascica looks a big possibilty now so to be replaced by him would be excellent business.

Can see us cashing in on AEG in last week of window, he's still young so we should get back what we paid for him which wasn't much in current climate.

Anyone know what happened to Trez last night?

Still at Villa Park since Saturday, trying to see if there's anyone left to 'Double High Five' with after his cross for Watkins goal.

I have no knowledge of the tweeter, I just know that I hate him because of his 'name'.

Haha I'm a shade to young. I was alive but to young. Major and Blair were the priministers of my youth

[Sexual Ealing]

Mine too, but you're never too young to hate!

Haven't read his tweets but he's got good taste in cider.
