Calvin Bassey rumoured to have been at the Wolves training ground from a cryptic Instagram post?? Surely not.....

Probably Shirley Bassey.

I've never really thought we were in for Bassey at the fees that were being spouted.  I think £25m for a back up left-back/future prospect six months after spending about that on a first-choice left-back wasn't something we'd be looking to do.

That money would easily be gobbled up by the sort of midfielder or striker we need more urgently.

I agree, I've never taken this link particularly seriously.

He has deleted the tweet also. Rangers fans rate hm very highly and consider him one of their standout performers in the second half of the season especially. It will cost a club 25-30m

I could see us signing a player with his profile, but not at the prices that are being bandied about.

They'll take £10 million and they'll be jolly well grateful.

Exactly, same as the Hickey links. A young, up and coming prospect looking to develop and adapt to the Premier League makes perfect sense. But with FFP being our big limiting factor in improving the squad, we can't blow that big a portion of it on a prospect.

Yep, agree completely, I'd not be surprised to see a left back who is under 22 for about £8-10m at some point.

Merlin???

[Dogtanian]

I did think Merlin sounded more the type, though no idea how much interest we actually have in him.

They say he ages backwards which is how he can predict the future.

[eamonn]

Could we just buy Rangers instead of taking all their players?

[Brazilian Villain]

They'll take £10 million and they'll be jolly well grateful.

Indeed, for every 5 shillings they spend we will spend 10 pounds.

Trabzonspor coach Abdullah Avci has personally spoken with Aston Villa star Trezeguet in a bid to convince him to make the move to the Turkish champions.


It is claimed that Aston Villa are ready to let him depart this summer for €4m, but the Turkish club are negotiating to bring the price down.

€4m it should be at least £7m ....would you take €4m?

(13 appearances on loan scored six goals and provided four assists)

[eamonn]

No, I wouldn't! Tell'em to suck on Turkish Delights, that's chomp-change.
