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

Okore looked like he would become very good before his cruciate injury.

I don't think Okore ever fully recovered from that, he looked like he'd lost half a yard of pace and he'd relied on it to cover for some positioning problems which is why his career has gone the way it has.

Whilst I agree we could do with some more depth at centre back I don't see how we can keep signing players and stay within FFP limits?  I know it's been suspended, but we will still have to account for this spending at some point.  I still feel midfielder and wing should be a higher priority than centre back and left back.

Also, the general opinion was we signed too many players last season.  How many is too many this window?

Some bloke called AVFC employee on twitter reckons we’ve agreed a loan deal for Loftus-Cheek.

That'd be a useful signing.

I’d say any who don’t go straight into the team from here might be seen as an extravagance. Improvements on Targett and McGinn would do me for now.

He previously said we were definitely not signing Traore.

RLC ?
I’m really not sure. 78 games in 6 years.
Seems to be a player whose reputation is built in who he plays for rather than anything he has done.

I don’t know if he’s any better than what we already have, but if he is hungry to prove himself then maybe we’ll benefit from that.

he's probably better than Lansbury... as if Nakamba, Luiz, McGinn or Hourihane aren't playing then Lansbury is probably next in the pecking order - although, I'd rather play Ramsey.

[chrisw1]

If he can stay fit I think he'd be a very good signing.  It just feels like a big if though.

[VinnieChase84]

We are in for RLC. Along with about another 7 teams. Hopefully JT can be a swing

'Spose we're have to wait and see but if its just a loan, then we're gonna be faced with looking again next summer. Not ideal.

Good stuff that is, especially about Cantwell as I can now indulge the primal urge I have to dislike him for being a poncey little twat.

Halfway through TCR by Sleaford Mods there's a line 'pointy little tit' that's delivered in precisely the way I hear you saying that...

I haven't noticed and I love that track.

In reference to someone liking Garage Punk...

How do you feel about Cantwell being left out of the squad for Norwich today and that Leeds interested for 15 million ?

Wasn't he holding out for Real Madrid ?
Villa should come back and get him

Another man bun will fit in perfectly up there

In that case flog them Landsbury for £20m.

£15m would be a snip, also like Buendia at Norwich.

The latter certainly
