Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[DrGonzo]

 I'm seeing Tuanzebe and Cantwell in with Hourihane going as part of the latter deal.  AEG probably out of the door, too. I don't think JWP will be on the cards, injured and the Ings money will keep Saints on an even keel, perhaps one more in the centre?
 Barry has to go out on loan with the arrival of Ings as another season in the U23 will do little for his development.  We have been fairly proactive in the youth loans so far, I'd be suprised if we don't see one or two more going to League One/Two.

[Brazilian Villain]

Suspect we will have another new signing starting that day as well

His name isn't an anagram of 'El Lion' is it?

[Jon Crofts]

Now Jack scone, it’s time for the rest of the squad to prove themselves

It's certainly given us food for thought.

You want jam on it.

Cream first ?

There isn't another way.

This is wrong. Entirely impractical. The queen of England has them jam first, and anyone who does it differently is clearly a wrong 'un.

Right side/fuck them up/jam first/...

I never took you for a 'right sider' Algy.

Dissapointed tbh.  Everyone knows the left side was where it was at.

[mr underhill]

can't beat a bit of rightside. Anyway I have lifelong and strong links to Cornwall so there is only one way.

[LeeB]

The left side was for the exitable babbies. The heads were all in the right.

While discussing Henderson (no from me), I'll stir the pot with Declan Rice or Kalvin Phillips? Chelski were looking at £50m for Rice earlier in the window, Phillips a cheaper option.

In absolutely no way would Phillips be a cheaper option. If he'd even consider it there's no chance they'd let him go for less than £60-70m for the exact same reason that we've just got £100m for someone.

that's a hell of a lot of money for sideways passing. Phillips is decent but at that price?

Both had a fantastic Euros and I’m pretty sure their price would both be north of 50m. They are both fantastic players. I’ve watched a lot of Rice this season and think he’s brilliant, however Phillips really impressed me in the tournament, he was outstanding I thought.

I wouldn't pay it but he's as much a talisman to them as our former player was here and he's also on the back of a good euros, it would need to be a ridiculous offer to even get them to talk and he'd be worth a fraction of whatever was agreed.

Neither will come to us at this stage, IMO. And, both carry the 'English premium'.
Someone unexpected and unexpectedly good will be brought in, hopefully.

[SamTheMouse]

Rice and Phillips both did well at the Euros, but playing in a side with two defensive midfielders and relatively little attacking intent. It's easy to look solid in that sort of set-up. Tougher when your midfield partner looks to get over the halfway line occasionally, though.

[JD]

I agree with Paul-e. For 50m you are more likely to get Rice than the stupid bun hair from Dirty Leeds, who wouldn't sell him.

I would prefer Rice, I think he is a lot better player and the Porn Dwarves would probably be more inclined to sell.
