SuperSAINT

Regardless of the truth of these rumours - This is exactly what I was hoping for on this thread with the names linked now.

With the money we have in the bank, if we wanted him, we would get him.

That midfield is awesome

Top post Weston. Doubtful they'll be another talented academy player who stays with us until he's 26.

The general theme of this summer has been hoping a player doesn't leave... then I watch him leave and think "Well I hope 'X' stays" - And then that player goes too. (This cycle then repeats itself)

Crikey....

Swansea confirm Gomis deal.

Would love Caulker, but can see him ending up at QPR.

Would be gutted if he left, but certain he will. The plus with this transfer (as opposed to Shaw/Lallana) is their will hopefully be a bidding war for him. (Liverpool/Arsenal/Spurs + euro interest). Disappointed if it's £15m.

Ings was the 1st person I thought of when Les Reed said in that recent interview "players we've spoken to are keen to join". He's young, scores goals & will want to be here. Bring him in.

Yeah, I agree - 3-5-2 is quite a specialist formation. I hope we stick with 4-5-1 / 4-3-3. Suits the current personnel - Wit that said, we can check back here again in a couple of weeks and we might have a totally different set of players to talk about.

Was just thinking we haven't heard from the Krueger-meister.

I think a lot depends if we are going to with a '1' or '2' up top. Not convinced either are ideal as a lone striker... But both would be decent partner to Pelle as a partnership.

Agreed, but if we were ever going to get them in, it would've been as part of the Shaw/Lallana deals

Lovren to will definitely go.

I'd trust John Percy. Disappointed with £25m though if I'm honest.

LOL. Has he done one of his "As I said...." tweets yet?

Ryan Gauld?

Decent scouting report on the Dundee Utd left back Andrew Robertson. http://www.soccerkickz.com/scout-report/andrew-robertson/

Nicolai Boilesen has been linked with us before. Can remember the name.

Spot on.

No offence taken mate. It's entirely dependant on where the info comes from (and mine came from a pretty damn good source )

I heard that Dodd & Williams didn't see eye to eye with Martin Hunter (Who's very much a Les Reed man) - so they got the boot.

This thread is going to get busy soon!
