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

I don't think AEG will go, unless we get another winger/striker type in.

I'd think one of the keepers will want to move on, especially as we're out of the cup. We may only let one go until Heaton is back anyway, we'd be daft to only have 2 on the books in case of injury..

Good to see Archer get a loan.

It may be difficult to sell AEG.

Maybe dress him up as a washing machine and put him on Ebay?

what's the scrap value for a washing machine these days?

It was a colossal mistake last season to not have quality in that area. We then made ultimately what turned out to be a poor signing in Samatta who in just a few months we have moved on. I would be very disappointed if we went and did it again. There are some glaring areas to improve, and while we likely cannot address all of them, up front is a spot we need help. KD doesn't score goals, and Wes when fit was hardly prolific. We need a striker to challenge Ollie because he's young and will have a dry spell where his confidence will be affected. We can't let that happen two seasons in a row.

if we have only Watkins and Davis as the striker options after deadline day then it's a bit of a shambles; you'd expect Smith to have learnt his lesson from having a limited group of strikers to choose from last season. Yes, Watkins is an improvement. But, we need someone else.

a few reports about us making a loan to buy bid for PSV's Donyell Malen

Wilfred Bouma Mk II? Looks a bit like him too.

I'd really like us to get a LB that is Bouma MKII

Not for me. Great physicality but not much pace and very little attacking ability. Full back is the main position that's moved on in football since MON's time when he viewed them as an inconvenience.

The trick will be finding someone who wants to buy a below average winger with absolutely no end product who occasionally flukes a mishit goal off different parts of the body not usually associated with football.

And who's crosses rarely end up on the dangerous side of the dead ball line.

there’s only one I can think of and he’s already spent up

Maybe we can do a couple of swap deals for our dead wood e.g. swap a few to Celtic

[PeterWithesShin]

We need to ditch 2 keepers as we've currently got 5 first team keepers. We've 27 senior pros (including Heaton and Wez), 28 if KD is too old to be classed as a youth player. We need to shift players before binging more in otherwise we'll be paying players that aren't even in the squad.

Would be good to offload some of the players who played last night that have no chance of starting Premier League games.

Ha! Water traverse for sale: enquire within.

Or if there are any Premier League owners reading:

I really hope that we can hold onto all the players who played last night but I can understand if they feel they need to move on to Champions League clubs and if someone offers us £50m for any of them then reluctantly we should sell.

[Sexual Ealing]

Well, of course!

Be good to know how long some of them have on their contracts. Kalinić, Taylor and Lansbury for example can’t have long left surely?

Kalinic must be one of the worst flops in the history of the club.

It was a mistake and we definitely could do with one more striker until Jan so there is time for Wesley to recuperate fully but we can sign strikers till they come out of our ears and it’ll be no good if Mings &/or Konsa get a long injury....centre half is the necessity by end of domestic window for me.

King would be good for striker, season long loan would be even better than buying him.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Think this is Lansbury's last season at least
