Summer transfer window thread

[finbar70]

Who the hell writes these bloody questions?
"You're coming off the back of a great season. Have you ever felt more confident?"
We aren't getting the player's words, we're getting a yes or no answer to the interviewers words.

Interesting seeing Surridge already in doing his rehab

Different levels.

We aspire to be where Wolves are. Wolves aspire to be where Spurs are.

They have players who are already doing the business in his position, they don't need to necessarily go through the pain of giving him PL experience.

The fact that they are demanding £20m+ as a fee rather than half that or less tells you they aren't keen to get shot- only for money that is worthwhile

We'll finish above Wolves this season

We'll finish above Wolves this season

I doubt that very much

Rothwell signs for Bournemouth. Can’t see Pearson or him getting 10 games between them.

 

[Polly 433]

Who are the next two then?

I thought you would

Every time Taiwo scores this season, I am definitely shouting "SUPERFLANKEEEEEEER!!!!"

 

[Pope John XXIII]

I thought you would

I think anyone with a modicum of realism would.

It's an outlandish claim, based on zero evidence, zero realism and a transfer window that has barely started.

Presumably you are trying to insinuate that anyone who disagrees with you is a pessimist. Which is nonsense.

It at least has some validity when we know what both teams look like for the season, but to claim that a barely assembled team just up from the playoffs will finish above a well established expensive PL side who are facing no particular crises is for the birds at this stage.

Bale is signing for Los Angeles FC.

Cardiff hearts broken

Cardiff hearts broken

Heard on TalkSport this morning that Cardiffs sales pitch to other players had been that Bale was signing for them, and they'd have the chance to play alongside him at Cardiff.

Makes sense. MLS season finishes right before the WC, and thereafter he can retire and play Golf

Some talk on Twitter that we are signing John Ruddy on a free

Probably decent enough back up to Henderson for the season?

Horvath has made it clear he wants to be a starter - so that’ll be him and Samba out the door…

Was.never gonna put a shift in at cardiff imo

 

[PsychoTheLegend]

Who are the next two then?

Niakhate and Gibbs-White

Since Bale's intention is to be in peak condition for Wales at the World Cup in November, he would have been taking a big risk of injury playing in the Championship.

Good keeper. More than happy to have him as backup.

 

[FeNris]

Niakhate and Gibbs-White

Apparently Mainz not prepred to talk to Forest after the opening bid for Niakhate was way below their valuation. Could be bollox though or more likely a device to jack the price up. We shall se.

Agreed, always an absolute bastard to get past

Sorry Pope. No opinions for the plebs. They must be stamped on. I forgot the rules for a minute. OKD, please ban me for at least a fortnight.
