Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[Dave]

Athletic reporting Wolves are close to Kamara not Newcastle. Looks idea for us.

Based on what? I've never heard of him.

Probably based on him having the attributes and profile that we are apparently looking for and plays in the position that most people agree we are lacking.

It would be doubly-odd - given that we bought his former central midfield partner eight months ago, when we have two similar (and arguably superior) players to do that role already. Yet aren't interested in the obvious Nakamba upgrade when it seems to be even more available.

(Edit - I've gone off the deep end and am assuming it's the Marseille Kamara being discussed.  And they're not bringing the former Fulham striker back or anything)

Apart from Rock Me Amadeus he did naff all

until he crashed his car

I'm 40 next year and couldn't pull Mark Falco from the memory banks

He peaked at Rock Me Amadeus, well past it by the time we were in for him.

Gilbert signs for Morecambe, on loan.
Sorry Strasbourg. Bloody autocorrect.

Were all gagging for midfielders but Dean Smith doesn’t exact have the best record when signing centre midfielders. Luiz is decent, but Barkley, Drinkwater, Nakamba….. Sanson has played about 4 minutes.

Maybe we’re better off not signing someone. 😂

Apparently Burnley want Barkley on loan.

So pretty decent then

Oh well..... i'm going down the pub.

When I get back i'm expecting a shiny new fecking midfielder. Or else.  And he better not be called Harry either.

I remember him flicking the V's at travelling Villa fans after scoring in a final game of a season, he'd been getting a lot of stick but I cant remember what for.

Barkley to Burnley
