Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[chrisw1]

You've included all the add on there Footy.  Iw we get top 6 or 4 I'm sure we'll be happy to top us the extra £15-20m but the current figure is somewhat less.

[chrisw1]

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. 

I don't think for one moment that West Ham would sell Rice for £50m and if they were that stupid there's no way he'd come to us.  He is a superb DM, one of the best in the league.

Same goes for Philips, he wouldn't join us before and certainly wouldn't now.

[mr underhill]

of course not that long ago, Rice was desperate to come to us on loan.

[cdbearsfan]

If Rice was available for that sort of money he'd be heading to Chelsea, Manchester or Merseyside.

Given West Ham have quoted Chelsea 100m for Rice, I doubt they'd sell him to us for 50m.

We’re not going to get Rice or Philips chaps for the same reason we haven’t got Grealish no more

[LeeB]

Succinct pal.

[john e]

less than zero chance of this but getting Bellingham would be the greatest thing to happen since man walked on the moon

Edit - on a number of levels

[Smoke]

Whilst watching Purslows statement last night my first thought was, maybe he's making it clear we have replaced grealish with the 3 already brought in so that any others coming in hopefully won't be branded as "the grealish replacement" especially if that next player through the door looks very much like a grealish replacement by way of Cantwell?

I don't think its realistic either, but it is the sort of player and quality of player that we need. Hoping for another rabbit out of the hat like Bailey.

If the Barca wage cap issue is actually real then surely there must be a player there we could take off their hands. French, Italian and Spanish clubs all have financial problems this year, time to take advantage of that.

God i hope not. I read it as a thinly veiled "we don't need to buy so don't take the piss with transfer fees" to any club we approach.

If i could pick just one more to come in of anyone that is even vaguely possible it would be Bellingham or failing that Phillips. You can see why we wanted him 2 years ago and it shows the recruitment team know what they're looking at. I'd say Bellingham would be unlikely though and Phillips very unlikely.
