Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[LeonW]

Barkley to Burnley

At the start of the summer, I thought he'd end up at Crystal Palace or Newcastle. What a nose dive his career has taken. You could see the problems he has when we had him on loan.

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)

Quite, it makes no sense. There appear to be midfielders available who would improve us and it’s an area of the team we’ve shown we want to upgrade, but we don’t appear to be competing.

To confirm, the Marseille fella. Who can also play right back apparently.

Yeah but me and Drummond have never heard of him and on that basis he's fucking rubbish

Anyone know if the lights are on at BH?

Brian Green uses candles. He'll still be up.

Nope, a few of the bulbs have gone and we've sold the spares to Man City as we'd previously agreed they can have our excess and we'll just use tea light candles.

Sometimes he gets so cold he even lights them!

The two main CM never materialised. One was JWP and we wouldn’t pay what they were asking. No idea on other. It’s beyond odd how we’re gone for an all or nothing type approach. Isn’t this what scouting is for so you have options 1/2/3/4 all better than what you have already and you execute one of them?

[ADVILLAFAN]

Have to say with not bringing a CM in and all the injuries, it all feels a little flat at the moment.

Feels like we will half our team out against Chelsea.

[LeonW]

Makes it all the more bizarre that we've released players to play for Argentina when we didn't have to.

The trialist looks decent

I thought that was the point in having such a big investment in a scouting network.

maybe the people we have hired are not very good.

[Toronto Villa]

But what if option 3 who is actually available isn’t as good or not significantly better than what we have?
