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

[Mister E]

I see Fulham have done - well - a Fulham: 11 new players in!!

[Duncan Shaw]

And Leeds - 13!

Similar to us last season then.

So players at the Championship in positions we would like to have an extra body:

Left back: Dasilva at Bristol City, Henry at Brentford
Centre Half: Mepham at Bournemouth, Rodon at Swansea? (Mepham could probably cover left back like Hause)
Wing/Striker: Saar at Watford, Benrahma at Brentford, King at Bournemouth

Could someone like Billing (Def Mid not sure if he's ever covered centre half) be an option?

Anyone else? Brooks is a fine player but I think he'll be priced out. Not sure where we'd play Swift, Buendia or Cantwell as we seem stocked in central midfield

[Mellin]

Saar would be a brilliant way to sign off an excellent window.

[cdbearsfan]

I don't see us signing anyone else. Not a major deal anyway, maybe another youngster signed for the future.

[sickbeggar]

Offer Bournemouth a loan for King till Jan. Don't think he's worth buying, but will cover us till Wesley comes back or we can sort out a better option next summer. Loan fee and Davis on loan for 12 months.

[eamonn]

Can we now slam this thread shut and let Jim White roar out in climax one last time til January ?

[eamonn]

Oh, I forgot the domestic Velux. Carry on then...

[Bryan]

I have to admit to not remembering much from Saar at Watford, but happy to be wrong.

King would be a good addition and a more senior head around

[sickbeggar]

I think where we are now, it's pointless bringing in permanent signings not aimed for the 1st team unless you're looking to develop a player in the 18-22 age bracket. Best way to improve our feeble reserves and cover now is to bring in players who have half a chance of making the current first choice a reserve. And obviously blood the kids too

[Monty]

King, Benrahma, these are excellent options but I agree with sickbeggar, anyone who wouldn't be coming to improve the first team now would be pretty pointless.

[Dave]

Offer Bournemouth a loan for King till Jan.

He's out of contract next summer. Why would Bournemouth loan him out?

Stab and foot come to mind.

Improving our backup options in the likely event we pick up key injuries wouldn’t be pretty pointless.
