    I’ve read that hull city are looking to sign Samuelson

    So that should provide them cover for selling Bowen (to us)?

    :hmm:

    So something like £12m plus Samuelson for Bowen. Could be a good deal for us, that.

    Which makes me think it won't happen.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Samuelson plus £15-20m I would expect. That'll put a spanner in the works.

    One player i’d really like for us to have considered is Bradley dack

    But he’s just done his ACL (12 months)

    He would probably struggle to pass even a WH medical
  • AdamAdam
    I thought Dack was an attacking midfielder? We have Lanzini, Fornals and Anderson. I haven’t seen him play though.

    Strange to consider the calibre of players we have allowed to go - Adrian, Tomkins, Kouyate, Obiang, Hernandez. How we could do with some if not all, of these right now !

    We obviously could do with some depth right now. However, (maybe because its Monday) none of those were pulling up any trees.

    Even though I love Adrian, he was second choice and Martin as back up hasn't done badly. Adrian, understandably, was never going to sign another contract and play second fiddle to Fab.

    Tomkins is no better than what we have and again wasn't cool with not being a regular starter.

    I liked Kouyate but he apparently needed a fresh challenge too. Obiang was definitely not pulling up those trees when we let him go and Hernandez never fitted into the managers system (nor was a system altered for him).

    None of those players were begged to stay and whilst I have nothing against any of them, there are reasons why they aren't here now

    Loved Kouyate.

    So..... transfers then :tumbleweed:

    Have to say, what an utterly farcical situation

    Need to bring someone in who can change games for us. Not doing so considering our position is very stupid.

    Yes, who exactly IS sourcing potential additions right now? From his early interviews (reading between the lines), I got the feeling it wasn’t Moyes

    The implication from what I've seen is that Sullivan has asked his trusted agents to recommend some players.

    Which, if true, suggests our recruitment is based on which of their clients these agents want to make some money on, irrespective of whether they're what we need.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    But agents are used in a couple of ways. One where the agent represents his clients and one where a club asks an agent to represent them in a transaction. That doesn't mean, in the second case, that the agent selects the targets but makes approaches for targets selected by the club.
    That's how I see it anyway.
  • McHammerMcHammer
    Spurs will just let us do all the scouting and hard work then just nip in and out bid us. They prob dont even employ scouts!

    Latest name linked is Dries Mertens.

    33 in May and a free agent in the summer, and the cynics among us would suggest a typical Sullivan target.

    But apparently he's turned us down and is likely to move stay in Serie A.

    As the rumour mill is somewhat dry, did anyone else read that Liverpool are supposedly interested in a Turkish keeper for around eur15m. A keeper we were briefly linked with in December.

    So it could be good for us - either we try and buy the keeper (must be ok if klopp is interested) - ok no chance of that happening

    Or if Liverpool buy him, then we bring Adrian back - Ok, not much chance of that either

    No need. Randolph's only two more medicals away from being declared fit to resume training in four weeks time.

    We're all good.

    Only 5 more injured goalies until Christmas :wahoo:
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    A goalkeeper is not just for xmas
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Some actual transfer news :wahoo:

    We've sold our U23 midfielder Joe Powell to Burton.

    Don't know what you lot were worried about.

    I've heard they are not interested anymore as the injury to our old seller wasn't as bad as first feared.
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    edited January 2020
    He has also been in intensive training with our programme seller coach and has mastered the old hand the programme and take the money in one swift movement with the same hand, so we should be ok as it was his other arm that was injured.

    Fab is at this very moment practicing goal kicks with his left leg.
