Summer 2018 Transfer/HCDAJFU Thread

Hmmmm..we won't pay Maddison more than Leicester will, yet we are going to pay Wiltshire the 130k a week Arsenal won't pay him and that others will? Not a hope in hell... (Even If we were going to spend that sort of money on wages I can think of 100 players who would be better value than Wiltshire!)

Wilshere on £130k a week and no transfer fee works (due to end of contract) works out to be significantly cheaper than Maddison on £70k per week and a £25m transfer fee.

But this would probably happen a lot...

No way will we, or should we, be paying Wilshire the £140+k a week that he wants. No way on this planet.

Go for Bobby Reid - cheaper than Maddison and quality player

Wilshire has the whiff of a West Ham style signing all over him...

I'd take Wilshere. Gamble, but not a bad one.

Would take Wilshere on a free. No questioning his quality. Injury record suspect, but they say he got 38 games out last season.

Better than 10 Ward Prowses

Go for Bobby Reid - cheaper than Maddison and quality player

Possibly. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he was playing PL next season. Contract expires 30/6/18.

Wilshere would be good for us, would certainly improve the first team, which is what this summers transfers should be about. Would be surprised if we got him though.

I think our medical team are rooting for all these sick-note players to come in so that their jobs will be safe.

Sad that we are only ever linked to has been journeymen especially as we have a shed load of those on the books already.

Bring him in!

We want Austin to stay but not Wilshere to sign who probably played 3 times more than our Charlie.

If he makes our team click going forward then bring him in I say.

To be honest I'd get rid of Austin to. I like Austin bit of a lad can't argue with his goals to game ratio but good players who don't play enough through Injury are no good to a club our size. That's why the likes of Wilshere, talented though he might be, is a no for me constantly injured talent isn't going to help us.

He's crap, and pretty sure Hughes doesn't really like him...would be a surprise.

I'd take Wilshere on a free, quality player, England were crying out for a Wilshere type player in the second half last night.

No way will we pay the sort of wage he would demand, it would bust our pay structure wipe open.

I'd rather we sign Loftus-Cheek.

Re Wilshere: are we are good enough team to miss the chance of signing Jack Wilshere on a free transfer if he was interested?

Ideal Steven Davis replacement in many ways.

I would love that but think after this WC he wille be in the £35m+ bracket which rules us out. We need to get these sorts of players before their breakout moments.

Agreed. I kept banging on about Loftus-Cheek & Chalobah last summer.

Chelsea are always a good club to look at for signings as they have so much talent stock-piled.

Agree, and not sure Wilshere is a good option for us/anyone. High wages which have to be paid all the time for someone only available half the time. He didn't impress at Bournemouth really. Anyway, he will have suitors of higher rank than us.

Agree he may well do, but will he actually play. Does he want to play or does he just want the pay. If he does manage to get to one of the bigger teams could well end up like Ross Barkley, up and coming England midfielder who errrr doesn't actually play football anymore. At the wages that people have mentioned on here (if true) I wouldn't want him, the knock on effect could have a major detrimental effect on a club like ours.

If it's the same player I've read about, isn't he the next big hope in Belgium football? Could be good from what I've read.

Also, didn't we setup some sort of relationship with Club Bruuge when Jordy went there on loan? hence why this deal could be a real possibility for us??

Arent Newcastle interested? I doubt we'd beat them in any competition for his signature.

Why? Under Mike Ashley they are hardly big spenders. Their record transfer is still below ours and their wage budget is likely to be as well.

Heady company. I guess Wolves have easily leapfrogged us.

seems that way. Ralph made a point in reminding us of the small club we are.

Geordie Shore is massive in Belgium...

Just think if exactly the same money is on the table, they are seen as a bigger draw.

They run a better B & B than we do obviously

The only thing they've got which trumps us is larger crowds, which players rarely seem to care about. On the flip side we're much closer to London, which has much better flight connections to Belgium and seems to be a factor in a few transfers.

Where are these rumours...?

Southampton are reportedly ready to firm up their interest in Stuart Armstrong.

 

Record Sport revealed last week Celtic won’t stand in the midfielder’s way with just a year left on his current deal.

 

Player and club were locked in a six-month stand-off last summer before Armstrong eventually penned a two-year deal.

 

But 12 months later Celtic once again face losing the 26-year-old for free next summer and the Daily Star report Saints are set to swoop in with a bid.

 

The south coast club missed out on former Aberdeen loan star James Maddison as he prepares to join Leicester and boss Mark Hughes could now turn his attention to the Scotland star.

 

He could cost the Premier League side around £6million.

According to this Fulham are in the hunt for a new left back as we want to keep Targett...

I was wondering the other day, if Hughes wants to stick with three at the back, whether we will treat Bertrand as a CB and allow Targett and McQueen to compete for LWB. Also allows us to save money on a CB.

Although I think we are trying to sign a CB, so probably not.

We'd probably struggle to get Debbie Gibson over the line at the moment.

Actually, I've heard from two unconnected places, one agents and one broadcasting, that it's done regarding Gibson.

Hope so, sort of signing we really need.

Yeah. Hasn't been much news about anyone else being in for him. I think we'll be due a Telegraph update article once Maddison is confirmed at Leicester.

(Hopefully a realistic article).

Apparently he wants to get as far away as possible from his family. Good news indeed.

Will it be because of Les if he signs or in spite of him

The problem with the next big signing is obvious........2 seasons ond off find another,right? its about time to make contracts bind and penalise for early release.

Good sources?

One is where I get most of my stuff from. The 2nd is from a Saints fan who is in broadcasting who confirmed it.

We all know though, nothing is done until it's announced but I've no reason to doubt what they've passed on is in good faith.
