Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[eamonn]

Yeah, I eye-rolled at the £12m for Milner. Another MON-type English plodder.

[LukeJames]

I don't get much right but the Milner transfer was a no brainer for me.

[jwarry]

Tenuous sources but Loftus-Cheek and Tammy as Chelsea make room for more big signings. Think I’d take both of them and suspect they would please Jack

[Dave]

I'm not sure that Loftus-Cheek gets in our current midfield, and consensus seems to be that is the area we need to be improving on.

My problem with RLC is the injuries. I mean he played 21 games for Fulham. Was he injured again or just couldn't get in the side?

[Steve67]

There is a player in there with Ruben Loftus-Cheek but he needs to be rediscovered.  A loan with an agreement to buy if all works out, might be a sensible idea.  I am not sold on Tammy Abraham though.  Not sure why.

Alan Nixon tweeting that we're listening to loan offers for Jed Steer, therefore likely to be signing a back up keeper.

[cdbearsfan]

Not keen on that idea.

Agree about Tammy, I loved him and would have taken him after promotion but we’ve got Ollie now and we’ve moved on. I feel we need to sign players who are better than what we have to challenge. That’s why I think Loftus-Cheek is not for us. He’s no improvement IMO

[danno]

Presumably that would be Jed Steer wanting to move on?  I thought he was a decent back up keeper.  Maybe we want Martinez to have real competition?  I saw us linked with Gazzaniga.  But thought it was B.S.

[sickbeggar]

Anyone think we'll be back in for Tzuanzebe? Out of contract next summer I think, we're two defenders down and he's versatile,  ManU needing money to fund their mega-signing for the armchairs etc etc...

[Sexual Ealing]

I think we need to be looking forward rather than going back for players who did well for us in the second division.

unless Steer wants to go then I think it's pointless selling him to sign someone similar. Better the devil you know....

I tend to agree but Abraham and Tuanzebe could do a job for us in the Premier League

[sickbeggar]

Well he's a youngster(ish) and beats bringing in older squad players which was my thinking. Obviously if Smith intends to replace any of the back 4 that's a different matter
