Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Slightly gutted that the link to the Uruguayan De Arrascaeta has gone quiet.

I just really liked the idea of having a Uruguayan player.

One-time Di Matteo favourite Gollini apparently signing for Spurs as the medium-term successor to Lloris.

Wouldn't mind us having one of the dirtier ones, as used to be, for that DCM role.

I don't think we've ever had a Spain international. We need Spain and Uruguay internationals to have had at least one each from all the World Cup winning teams (I'm counting West Germany and Germany as the same team otherwise it's impossible to achieve without a TARDIS).

[cdbearsfan]

Ah, hang on, just remembered Pepe Reina! Just Uruguay, then.

[OCD]

Let's sign Romeu just to be safe

[KevinGage]

Romeu was one of the players Houllier was going to sign, had he stayed on back in the day.

Along with Mathieu Debuchy, Valencia's Éver Finger Banega and Jason Scotland.

DT reporting that we are in for McNeil - along with Everton
Everton apparently value him at £25m but Burnley want double that!
Wow!!

It’s not a  Percy article btw

I personally don't think McNeil would add much to our squad.

[ozzjim]

I think he's quality. He was superb in the second half of our defeat there, and his delivery on his left peg consistently hurt us. With the fact he presses well, has a bit of pace and is only 21, I would think he'd be very useful. Especially if it allowed Jack to be rotated and rested a bit more.

[tomd2103]

Think we only should go after McNeil if Jack Grealish goes or the plan is to play him in a more central role.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Off subject, but apparently if Southampton did sell Ings, they would have to give Liverpool 20% of the fee. So if they sold him for 20M, they'd get 16M back.

So they might as well just keep him and let him go for free next season.

[Monty]

I think selling Jack and replacing him with McNeil would represent a massive step backwards.

[Richard E]

I think selling Jack and replacing him with McNeil would represent a massive step backwards.

Selling Jack and replacing him with anyone other than one of about 1% of the players in the world would represent a massive step backwards.

[sickbeggar]

well if they want 50m for him its too daft to contemplate. There's paying over the odds and there's getting robbed blind.
