The Official 2015 Silly Season Transfer Thread

Maybe. We have a few ITK this end claiming its almost done pending no hiccups yet this guy apparently ITK from the Brighton end says its a no go. Strange.

[westcliff white]

agree very strange.

I am expecting to see a few more outs happening though, we have what 5/6 coming in surely we do not want a squad as big as last season.

Interesting weeks ahead, which is good, I am looking forward to August already

Just our of interest, Dunk does seem similar to Burn.  Why is Dunk so much better than Burn ?

because he hasnt had his defensive ability coached out of him by kit ;)

Not quite as tall, 6ft 4" opposed to 6ft 6", bit more mobile than Burn, more of a goal threat too. Think the main thing about Dunk is he reads the game very well, think Burn has a tendency to switch off ala Zat Knight

Reports of Fulham having two bids turned down for Dunk are incorrect, according to a club source. #BHAFC #FFC (The Argus)

Not sure what the two mean. Hands off then by the looks of it.

I remember Blackburn saying pretty much the same about Cainey, and he signed 2 days later.

I didn't see that. Do you have a source? I can only see them stating Rhodes is going nowhere.

An avid Falkirk FC friend tells me we have enquired about Botti Biabi, nineteen year old striker, raw talent.  Reported in Falkirk Herald last Thursday apparently.  Swansea also interested.

With Woodrow and Dembele with the first team, our U21s are really short on strikers, so this makes sense.

[Walsh]

have we been linked with a RM/RW?

[God The Mechanic]

Apparently Mitroglou is pretty close to finalising a move to Sporting too...

[rusty shackleford]

meanwhile we havent signed anyone in a day

Kit out

[westcliff white]

Do we need one? Roberts, Cole, Cairney if these are not going to play there or cant play there then yes we need to look at that area

Is this how Cairney is seen? More of a RM/RW than a CM?

TransferMarkt (spot on with figures generally) post the Bryan Ruiz fee as £1.96m, so you can round that up to £2m.

if they got Bryan for 1.7 million that is a steal.  In another league he is going to be magnificent.  Great attitude and a great left foot... unplayable at times.  Too bad he didnt show it enough at Fulham

played there a lot for Blackburn, which is what I based my comment on

but was also allegedly one of the reasons he left

[supersimmo123]

I think we will play the diamond again, Pringle's interview seemed to suggest he prefers playing in the pockets and not out wide. I can just see it now, 4 games in 1 win, 1 draw and 2 loses. Pressure on. Kit goes, diamond goes then we pick up.

[supersimmo123]

Saying that, there was that Swindon lad a RW we were linked with.

[Jonnoj]

Pretty sure Cole is a leftie
