The 2016 Official Silly Summer Season Transfer Thread

Murray on a free would be great. Kalas will go permanently to Boro

[St. Andrews White]

I also think Murray on a free could be class, he tore up the Championship and on a free transfer it seems a fairly obvious signing to me.
Kalas will almost certainly go to Boro, he's been there for around 18 months and got regular playing time.
Only reason he would come to nus is because we're local to where he effectively grew up in Chelsea's academy, and Boro won't offer him regular playing time in the Prem.

Anichebe an interesting one; always just seemed like a bruiser, and not the most talented one at that but if someone wants to tell me otherwise please do!

[Hoppus]

I am 36 years old and find it humiliating that we judge Murray for being too old :D

[AnEssexFan]

I really wouldn't want to see us sign anichebe. That would be a case of signing someone purely because they've been released by a premier league club.

[westcliff white]

Not that we are linked with him but Anichibe is a strange one, there were times at Everton when he was unplayable, pace strength and directness, the same at West Brom, that in the Championship could be dynamite, however he has not been consistent in his performances. If he could be consistent then he could be a good singing.

All if's and buts

[Porthogs FC]

Anichebe was one of the few striker's that I was not scared of FulhamFC facing. That's been a rare thing in the past three years.
Oh, and would be an indicator of not being worth it?

Age is just a number. Players like people age at different stages, and at a different pace. For example Wayne Rooney and Ross McCormack have the bodies of a more advanced age than the average person or athlete. Whereas others like Ryan Giggs, Scott Parker etc can look fitter and sharper because of the way they are made. To hold Glen Murreys age against him is very unfair.

Don't worry nearly as much about his age as I do the reasoning for having started less than 20 matches each season since the 2013 season. 30K a week is a lot to pay for someone who seems to be a 60 minute or less player each week.

I don't know if he's been injured or stuck in a Matt Smith type scenario where he's been under contract but nowhere near the preferred option.

I wonder if there is anything in this.

[westcliff white]

Nope Bobby is injury prone and past his sell by date these days

SPAEn su reciente entrevista a Faro de Vigo, Carlos Mouriño desvelaba que el Celta había recibido una oferta de seis millones de euros de un club de la Championship inglesa por un jugador importante. Desde ElDesmarque Vigo os podemos confirmar que el futbolista es Sergi Gómez y que dos equipos que negocian su incorporación son el Fulham y el Queens Park Rangers. Sergi Gómez, presente y futuro para el eje de la zaga El Celta quiere renovar a Sergi Gómez El primero en dar el nombre del catalán fue el compañero de Tu Radio, Fon García, en su cuenta personal de Twitter. Una vez confirmada la información, nos pusimos en contacto con el representante del jugador, Francesc Valdivieso, quien nos confirmó que Sergi Gómez tiene un agente inglés que se encarga de gestionar su futuro. Esta persona lleva directamente las negociaciones tanto con los clubes británicos como con el Celta por su renovación. Pese a que Mouriño da prácticamente por cerrada la renovación del central, Valdivieso nos aseguró que "puede ser un verano intenso para él porque ya ha recibido propuestas de Fulham y QPR; y no son las únicas. Se desconoce la cantidad exacta de la cláusula de rescisión de Sergi Gómez, aunque podría estar en torno a esos 6 millones de euros. El defensa termina contrato el 30 de junio de 2017 y en Inglaterra es un jugador con un gran cartel. Amigos personales como Muniesa, actual jugador del Stoke City, le han hablado muy bien del fútbol británico. Hasta el momento, solo Fulham y QPR, dos clubes de la Segunda División inglesa con un gran potencial económico, han mantenido negociaciones serias con el agente británico del catalán. Sergi Gómez no ve con malos ojos una salida, pero solo una oferta irrechazable económicamente le llevaría a dejar el Celta por un equipo de la Championship. El verano se prevé intenso en 'Casa Celta' con este asunto.

Latest transfer rumours: QPR and Fulham want same central defender from La Liga

QPR and Fulham are both interested in Celta Vigo centre half Sergio Gomez - according to Spanish sports site to El Desmarque Vigo .

It appears the west London rivals are in talks to sign the defender, and a £4.6 million bid has been lodged by one of them - more than likely Fulham after the club was released from its transfer embargo this week.

Whites head coach Slavisa Jokanovic enjoyed the best of his playing career in Spain, and established plenty of contacts during his time there.

Gomez is a Barcelona academy graduate. But the 24-year-old found first-team opportunities scarce at Nou Camp, and moved to Celta in summer of 2014, since when he has made his mark.

Gomez made 31 La Liga appearances for Vigo this past season that helped the club to a top half position.

The report further claims the defender has an English representative working for him and he has begun talks over a potential switch to the Championship with either Whites or Hoops.

Spanish clubs apart from the two El Clasico teams of Real and Barca don't have the financial clout of many English clubs, and a move to the Championship has its attractions.

Gomez's contract with the Celta expires 2017 that allows them to command a substantial fee rather than let the player walk for nothing next summer.

I wonder who he is watching, hopefully  some decent defenders .

Reckon he'd work well alongside Madl.


Wouldn't say no to that.

[Jims Dentist]

I have been touting Handley as a good signing for some time.
Would be delighted if it happens.

where was this Lighthouse, decent signing if we can get him just not seen him linked anywhere

[ChesterTheTabby]

I really wouldn't want to see us sign anichebe. That would be a case of signing someone purely because they've been released by a premier league club.

Agreed, if they have been released by the Premier League club I would say it's a case of they are not a natural Premier League player. By this I mean to say that just because they played in the Prem does not mean they were good enough to be there, and thus signing a "Premier League" player means nothing if they were released by their club because they could not compete at that level of play.

That, plus the fact that Anichebe is useless.
