Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[aev]

Delaney apparently gone to Sevilla.
I wonder whether that means McKennie is now the main target?

He’s been available for some time so I’m not sure he was a target for us,  if so you’d have expected us to move sooner.

Unless we are not his first choice, and are therefore waiting / hoping that his first choice doesn't materialise.

McKennie would be such a good signing. Great agree too, and capable of pressing in the way Smith wants while getting into the box to get a goal.

[ozzjim]

And apparently Spurs are in talks with Juve for him. Great.

[sickbeggar]

Norwich are in talks with Carvalho apparently. Wtf? Worth a punt?

[PaulWinch again]

I’m quite disappointed that we appear to have concluded our business.

I’m quite disappointed that we appear to have concluded our business.

We always seem to get ourselves in a great position and then stop leaving us one short.

[sickbeggar]

Still think one more will arrive before deadline day personally if a few players head off on loan/sold. Probably need to free up wages.

I hope it’s not our annual Drinkwater type last minute brain fart.

[sickbeggar]

Yeah, I just imagine they're wary of getting into a situation like when they arrived of 8+ non-playing unsellable squad players on high wages. We haven't got much deadwood at the moment but with the promising youth players needing playing time as well they'd probably like someone going out before committing to another guy for 4-5 years

Yeah, I think probably it's as much to do with staying sweet in terms of FFP requirements.   Think we'll see another midfielder come in as long as we can get a move for Conor Hourihane.

True story.

[chrisw1]

I'm not sure why we need to free up 12 months wages for the likes of Hourihane etc, when we're £7m in the black on our transfer activity.

FFP surely can't be an issue when we were intending to keep Jack?

[Drummond]

I suspect its the usual issue of everyone waiting on everyone else

[TonyD]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Ronaldo rocked up.   

[paul_e]

I don’t think it's about fees or wages, just a case of not wanting to have senior players who aren't named in the PL 25 man squad.
