Summer transfer gossip and squad discussion

[The Subhuman]

Who would this seem to indicate, Sub?

Blackbushe is on the Hants/Surrey border so maybe Charles if he lives locally or it all a complete load of B/S

[The Subhuman]

Arrives at 14.21 this afternoon

I'm not far from Blackbushe ..

[SG90]

Hoping that we see a number of players being sold for real money soon. Piroe, Gnonto etc

To who? Only the PL has money and they're not interested. Gnonto also has a 40% sell on clause, so I doubt we'd get more than £5m or so.

Is that where there is a huge market??

There was, closed about 10 yrs ago, enormous market where I bought my leather jackets among other things..British Car Auctions is still there I think, and of course back in the 70's and 80's it was a great place to watch drag racing, (and not the men in tights version,) it was the original British drag racing strip before Santa Pod took over ...Used to go a fair bit from around 74/5

Not far from Yateley on the A30

doesn't Southampton have an airport

[SG90]

doesn't Southampton have an airport

It does

[weasel]

It does

Probably easier doing private flights from smaller airports as can likely just get in the plane and go rather than having to queue etc.

yes i agree BUT i do not think it is Charles flying up to LUFC

[Cjay]

Italian media reporting that despite interest from big Italian clubs Julian Brandt is likely destined for a Premier League move with multiple clubs interested.

















Congratulations Sunderland

[SG90]

Not that we'd have had a chance up against Champions League, but Esteve has joined Leipzig for £27m, so £7m cheaper than big Tarik.

Is it just me whose not sure about making James Trafford one of the most expensive goalies in history based on an outstanding Championship season and hope?

We're talking James Trafford, not Old Trafford!

No, I have reservations, Not a great premiership record with an awfully error strewn season at Burnley then City signed him to start and that lasted 2 or 3 games. I think they're thinking they can get their Philips money back

Cheaper to buy Old Trafford.

Falling apart.

[Carrick Dave]

I’d be up for a look at Mavropanos.

And at the risk of annoying the contrary twins, Trafford is worth pushing the boat out for.

For rodon, tbh I though Rodon was as good for us as Mavrapanos was for West Ham... and he won't be cheap. It wouldn't be an upgrade for 20M or whatever

We have Rodon Bijol and Bornauw atm as our right side CB

Bornauw is for the off I reckon.

Quality option as the fourth CB, everyone being pushed all season.

Maybe, but there are other cheaper back ups... Rodon and Muharemovic should be starters with Bijol sweeper if we play one. Bijol can cover Rodon

Need a second left footed CB, and if we get Shea Charles he's a CB/Sweeper/DMF/CMF anyway. Think we'd have to promise Mavrapanos playing time for him to come. His value is around 20M

We seem to be after Trafford for 35-40
Charles for 25
We absolutely need a striker unless Farke is going to use Piroe this year. (30M plus)
AMF - If it's Brandt it's be a big sign on and record wages I reckon, if not then 20-40M

[Victor_OTT_17]

Bornauw looks to be a player but he won't stay if we sign another CB. I actually like what I've seen of Bornauw...
