The Summer 2021 Transfer Rumour Thread

Definition of a one season wonder, his record at Stoke and then in Belgium is total shite.

Surprised to hear he's even still playing football

I've been saying for 18 months I'd like to see us sign a quality DM, but I just dont think Deano wants to set up that way. He's more likely to sign a Jorginho type than a destroyer.

He's more likely to sign no-one.........

Let’s be honest our record in last min buys isn’t great. From Baston, Sylla, Salifou, Carroll, Djemba twins, etc.

I can’t really recall any that have actually gone on to be a decent buy that contributes anything.

Sounds like the foundations for a team conceived in Hell

I'm pretty sure we signed Solano very late into the 2004 winter window so one exception. Solano for me is the best right winger I've seen play for us in the Premier League years. Absolutely top quality.

Wasn't Sylla only signed so Benteke Could have a fellow French speaker in the squad to be mates with? If that was the case then he at least got him to stay an extra couple of years.

Surely it would have worked out cheaper for Benteke to learn a bit of English?

 

[Thomas Holte]

That's all for now folks.

Bent was a Jan deadline day signing I think. Great for one season at least....

He kept us up IMO

Wasn’t Scott Hogan a last minute job, now plying his trade at Small Heath.

Think he would have lasted longer, if we didnt appoint negative coaches like McLeish and Lambert

Djemba twins...........

I'd rather have the Thomson Twins...... doctor, doctor!

Pretty sure he joined in the middle of Jan rather than deadline day, but still a vital signing at the time.

So Dominic Revan has gone out on loan to Northampton Town.

I'd be really impressed if these young players were being loaned to PL clubs or Championship teams, it would mean we were a top 4 side

If they were good enough to play for a premier league side they'd be playing for us.

Even Jack the lad went to a league one or two team.

True, but he was at least the Star player, half our kids can't get a game. Kesler seem to be the main lad in this batch he's playing every week, which s a good sign

Rather more than one season. But think he was destroyed by a spiteful club. Doubt if he's back at the level he was.

Have we signed Haaland yet?
