Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[LukeJames]

The £30m odd that Chelsea would want for Barkley needs to be spent on a proper quality winger. Leon Bailey please.

Just noticed that this was the second post of the thread. Has to be an edit, surely?

Haha no edit. He was bizarrely linked to Leeds at the beginning of last season just after they were promoted so I've been hoping for us to jump on it since then.

[Mister E]

Neither of them are good enough for where we want to be.

That's it. We've moved on ; they haven't.

This guy seems credible. 20k followers and a blue tick.

Taken from a link in last nights Birmingham Mail. Looks more like a bored kid in his bedroom in Lisbon posting transfer links. #justsaying

Lots of discussion on incomings, but wonder who will leave this window.

Seems pretty certain someone will buy Hourihane, and plenty of links to Davis going on loan. Wouldn't surprise me if Guilbert left, and think the club may be tempted to sell El Ghazi if we get another winger in. Kalinic and Engels already out.

Can't see us shedding more players than that.

[WarszaVillan]

I wouldn't be selling El Ghazi. He's been a very important player for us and will be around the first team again this season I'd imagine. You never know how long it takes new players for to adjust and having players like El Ghazi around who can be relied on is essential.

I can’t see us being tempted to sell El Ghazi. A frustrating but important player to us. (For now)

blimey. Are Stoke going to play Davis as an actual Striker? That's a brave move by their manager if true.

Only till he gets injured after about three games.

hah, yeah just had a look at their squad and they seem to have a lot of forwards, albeit pretty duff ones. I'm not sure what mental process is occurring when you think "We need more goals in this team. get that Davis lad in" though.

[chrisw1]

I've got a feeling if he can have a decent run as first choice (and stay fit) it may just be what he needs to kick on.  I really hope so.

[sickbeggar]

Think he could have been a decent option behind the forwards as he certainly has the ability to create things and should have been developed as such. As a striker/forward though. Not a chance imo  Good luck if he makes the move because its his last chance really. Hope he proves me wrong.

Agreed. Certainly hope so, he has everything in the game except goalscoring. Admittedly that's a fairly important part of being a forward... I've always liked him so hope he starts twatting them in. A hat-trick home and away against Small Heath would be nice. Also be mildy amusing if he scores against Baggies again.

Yes, it’s make or break really for him. He’s clearly got ability and he’s a trier but he’s the polar opposite of a clinical finisher and has never stayed fit for long enough to give himself a chance of forcing his way into the team.

Just watched  the latest Holy Trinity on YouTube. Its a Canadian guy from Toronto  who I have posted about before. His latest one is about our recruitment policy and it makes so much sense. He explains why we are not going to buy Tammy or Ings and why we have an interest in McNeil from Burnley. Very well researched, but thats what we expect from people in Toronto, isnt that right TV? Only 20 mins long, highly recommended.
