Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[OCD]

We only need cover for Ollie if we send Wesley out on loan.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Seen us linked with Josh King today (no quotes so just speculation really).

On paper would be a decent and inexpensive option to cover for Ollie (as opposed to spending £40m on Tammy to sit on the bench unless Ollie gets injured). I do worry why Everton are letting him go after on half a season though, which strikes me as odd.

I think the problem with King at Everton was that he was shit. Basically a complete waste of time and money. 0 starts, 11 sub appearances, 138 minutes played, 0 goals. No thanks.

An up-front Drinkwater then.

Given Wesley has just come back from a major injury and was struggling to adapt anyway, I think we need at least two half decent options in case Watkins is crocked for any period of time

That was my concern, didn't know how he had got on. Thought it might be attitude or wage demands though as he was pretty good for Bournemouth.

A real tricky one this, attracting another player happy to play 2nd fiddle to Ollie , yet ability wise not a million miles away. Good luck recruitment team !

Brad Young? Seems similar style to Ollie, although it may be more beneficial to loan Young out too get a full season of first team action.

Josh King...no, fcuking way. It's a MON signing. A big man, expensive, with a British history.

These Chris Woods rumours still seem to be doing the rounds. If Smith blows 30m on him, I'll be a bit bemused/horrified. I suppose he does hit double figures regularly but its a lot of money for a 29 year old reserve

Double figures for a retired goalkeeper is impressive.

[sickbeggar]

heh. well he's tall enough to be a 'keeper.

And what about the link to Man City superstar Lukas Nmecha?

It's complete bullshit.  Nobody would be paying £30m for a player like that.  I actually wouldn't mind him as back up if we can't find better alternatives, but I reckon you'd be talking £8-£10m?  I guess Burnley will feel he's worth more than that to them and if so, they can keep him.

[Des Little]

I think it's safe to assume that we are going to be linked with hundreds of players this Summer in the media.

he's a funny one, fantastic record in Belgium and with the German U21s but had a couple of championship loans and did very little of note. On that basis it'd be a no from me.

Based on that you'd have also said no to Harry Kane who in two loan spells at Norwich and Leicester played 16 times and scored only 3.
