Perhaps being on loan at F***** makes you age badly and quickly. Edited July 11 by IslandExile Share this post Link to post
JfR 1,770 Posted July 11 (edited) How about jazz* Hornkamp from Heerenveen? No idea if he's any good, I just like his name. *edit: That's not his actual first name. Use your imagination. Edited July 11 by JfR 1 SKRam reacted to this Share this post Link to post
Nuwtfly 6,567 Posted July 11 Names from the Wasserman Netherlands list that might be of interest: - Sven van Beek: CB/Feyenoord - Teun Koopmeiners: CDM/AZ Alkmaar - Nicolai Jorgensen: ST/Feyenoord - Emil Hansson: LW/Feyenoord - Marco Van Ginkel: CM/Chelsea (potentially out for the season with an injury).

MarchesRam 164 Posted July 12 If Tom Bayliss has a £3m release clause, is it worth trying to beat some lower end Prem clubs to the punch? 1 ReyDCFC reacted to this Share this post Link to post

Probably best to let Brentford sign him for 3 million, see if he is any good then try to sign him for 7 million next season. 3 1 SKRam, MarchesRam, ReyDCFC and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post

Rample 863 Posted July 13 Heard a rumour this morning we've been linked to Drinkwater. Now, I figure ten teams more attractive than us would be interested, and Chelsea would need to subsidise about £3m in salary, but hey I just share what I hear. None of the friend of a friend connections that I had with Commons or Rowett arrivals, just a wild rumour. 1 Carl Sagan reacted to this Share this post Link to post
David 41,657 Posted July 13 Here’s one for you all to munch on Quote Chelsea are set for multiple loan departures as eight young players were cut from their pre-season tour to "continue their preparations for the new season". The eight returning to Cobham from Ireland include Lewis Baker, Izzy Brown and Lucas Piazon, as well as Trevoh Chalobah, Dujon Sterling, Ike Ugbo, Conor Gallagher and Marc Guehi. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11761957/chelsea-set-for-loan-departures-as-eight-cut-from-pre-season-tour Share this post Link to post

Ambitious 8,184 Posted July 13 I would like to see that Conor Gallagher as he won their academy awards last season. Baker enjoyed a really good end of season spell with Reading last season, perhaps hitting close to his potential finally. Chalobah, Brown and Piazon can all do a role at this level. As with Dowell, if we back our coaching staff then take the players with the highest ceiling and coach them to their potential to help their consistency. 3 Andrew3000, ReyDCFC and Papahet reacted to this Share this post Link to post

We have a habit of being linked to big players and then losing out to Aston Villa (Fulham this year).

Agree with this, getting in players like Marriott and Holmes were great bits of transfer business last season, young and have plenty of time to improve, and have a attitude to give there all every game, no more journey men for me, up and coming players with plenty to prove, that's should be our policy from now on, like the signings of Shinnie and Dowell, both with plenty to prove, and I think both players will fit in with our squad, exciting times ahead. 2 1 86 Schmokes & a Pancake, LeedsCityRam and SKRam reacted to this Share this post Link to post
EnigmaRam 4,409 Posted July 13 I wish we’d take a punt on Maddison from Peterborough. £2.5 mil release clause I think it is and that would treble with one half decent season in the championship. I’m convinced he’s get at least a half dozen assists and the same in goals given 20-30 games 1 3 Squid, DontTrustTheDevilInside, SKRam and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post

I bet we didn’t even lose out on half of the players linked with as we were never actually in for them. We get lumped other clubs challenging for promotion with so many players, hard to believe we were ever interested in that many. 1150 topics in the transfer forum over 20 transfer windows, that’s 57.5 topics per window. Even allowing for duplicate topics, locked made up rumours is still a ridiculous amount. Kodija interest was all but confirmed I believe, but that’s one I’m glad we didn’t pump out a load of money on. Share this post Link to post
