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

[UK Redsox]

Per Beeb gossip page today. King doesn't want to go to WBA and Bournemouth may be willing to sell for £10m

If all that's true and it's specifically WBA he doesn't want to go to, rather than the West Midlands in general, there's a deal to be done.

Hardly surprising. Why would a King want to go to Sandwell?

[Matt C]

Why would anyone.

castings?

Why would anyone.

I had to go to the eye hospital (City) with the Missus. It wasn't quite Sandwell but very close

We do need a striker, so I wouldn't moan if King came in, but I'd prefer a short-term deal as we could be in a position to get someone much better soon. I'd take a look at Welbeck for 12 months to be honest.

He's a busted flush and precisely the sort of player we've stopped looking at now.

You could dunk him and Davis in a barrel of boobs and they'd emerge sucking their thumbs. Could be worse, thinking about it...

He thinks way too much of himself. He's always been an average striker who has the occasional hot streak that doesn't last long. And then he gets injured. He was on a stupid amount of money. So no ta from the Canadian jury. Ditto Sturridge

Agree 100%

Danny Welbeck

Manchester United
Arsenal
Watford
Free Agent

It is always better to sign players on the way up rather than on the way down.

Looking at that list I'd say he's on the way up.

Any news on Troy Deeney? I'm sure he'd crawl over broken glass to come here.

[Ian.]

I’d hope we file Welbeck under the Drinkwater experiment. I’d rather go for King.

If I posted a pic of my ex who lives in Sandwell, you’d be beating a path there, including Josh King. Be careful though - she could have your eye out.

Seen Dawson (the current Watford, ex WBA centre half) linked with Burnleh for less than £5 million this week.

Must admit I haven’t followed his career all that closely at Watford and maybe his game has fallen off the edge of a cliff.

But at that price I’d bite.

Experienced centre half cover but still illustrates we have faith in the current CB pairing.

A player in his prime coming in for £10 million plus will be expecting first team football.
