Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

Don't buy Spuds players,  especially mediocre ones. Don't give them or that arse Levy a single penny.  Ever.

Despite them having a few players I rate this is a policy I'd be largely in favour of, I'd add Man Utd as well, in the past we've done ok but both clubs are run by c**ts that we should avoid doing business with whenever possible.

I agree. It’s been interesting to watch their chaotic approach to finding a new manager and suspect Levy has been the problem as prospective managers have been aware of his reputation so have demanded things that he, in his absolute best tight-fisted way, cannot agree to.  He was always going to get found out sooner or later.  The interesting one will be Kane as no doubt City have already marked Levy’s card.

Every club should refuse to do business with him

McGrath was obviously the best bit of business we've ever done Paul. Technically, did Bosnich come from them? Djemba-Djemba was a disaster, but Tuanzebe did OK on loan. Who else is there, Ronny Johnsen?

If I could choose one player from them I'd go for Greenwood. If he stops being a div I think he'll be exceptional.

Now an offer for him would set the hares running! 😁

JWP, Perreira, Tammy and Axel on loan to buy and that would be some window.

Sort of, in a way.  He was at Manchester United, but his student visa expired so he had to go back to Australia.  He played for Sydney Croatia for about 6 months, got a new visa, and rocked up at Villa Park.

We also signed Les Sealey from them in 1991.

As I said, we've done ok in the past, collectively - Mcgrath was brilliant, Johnson was ok, Tuanzebe was ok when he was fit, Cleverley was poor but had a few decent games, the twins are one of the worst signings we've ever made - I'd say that's an ok set but not much more.

Bosnich, I think, went back to Autralia for a year or 2 and we signed him from there.

The point really though, as I said, is that the club is run by twats, even above and beyond the twats at the other 'big 6' (except spurs obviously).

Greenwood might turn out quality but there's no chance I'd sign him right now, they'd want a huge fee and I suspect he'd think he was too big to be a club outside the CL. Everything he's done in the last year suggests a serious 'billy big bollocks' chip on his shoulder.

Does it? Apart from the curfew-break in Iceland (was it?), what's he been up to?

[Dave P]

I’d definitely take Pereira. He did that with them. He could be really good with a better side.

In the hole?

Well its officially called The Hawthorns but it's often referred to as that.

[dave shelley]

We signed Willie Anderson from Manure and he served us well.

I think BFR had Bosnich at Manure as a youngster but there were work permit issues. But by the time we signed him he had married an English girl and got a work permit.

Was Gidman on Newtons books as a youngster ?

[Damo70]

Dele Alli anyone?

If Daniel Levy wants £50m for Winks, how much is he going to demand for Dele Alli?

The master negotiator Daniel Levy thinks every Spurs player is worth fifty million quid and every opposition  player is worth tuppence ha'penny. That is why he failed to buy Jack even though we had big financial problems at the time.

On Liverpool's books as a youngster I believe.
