First topic message reminder :

Now that the season has drawn to a close, I thought I'd put up a thread to discuss possible transfer business.

Rumours, Predictions, Hopes and Actualities all welcome here

The Guardian yesterday said £4m. The Sun today say £6m plus £2.5m to come from add ons

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4989999/Crystal-Palace-could-pay-85m-for-Dwight-Gayle.html

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun Jun 30, 2013 3:10 pm

Paying more than £2-3m is a ludicrous

by NickisBHAFC Sun Jun 30, 2013 3:24 pm

I really like Gayle, i think he is class. He looks to me a better version of CMS.

He would do well at Palace (scum), but anything above 4 million is just completely crazy.

by GSC Sun Jun 30, 2013 6:26 pm

Stick 8m for Ince in the realm of stupid money

Not really is it.

Reasonable for a 21 year old youth international who scores goals from midfield.

by GSC Sun Jun 30, 2013 6:32 pm

Liverpool did well to baulk at a lesser fee in Jan. Id be fairly disappointed in my 8ms worth

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Jun 30, 2013 6:36 pm

8m is overpriced but not Carroll levels of ridiculousness

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun Jun 30, 2013 6:43 pm

Was probably double Carroll's value. Thats probably 3 times Gayle's

by GSC Sun Jun 30, 2013 6:43 pm

Technically, no transfer has ever reached Carroll levels of ridiculousness.

by NickisBHAFC Sun Jun 30, 2013 9:45 pm

Ince for 8 million is acceptable as well. Zaha for 17 million. Now that is laughable.

But no transfer and no transfer ever will beat 35 million for Andy Carroll.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun Jun 30, 2013 10:19 pm

There is at least one Robbie Keane transfer I would put above it.

by Holymiky Sun Jun 30, 2013 10:33 pm

Today it has been announced that Florent Malouda, Ross Turnbull, Paulo Ferreira and Yossi Benayoun have departed Chelsea as the players' contracts have come to an end.

Deal worth potentially 3.2m coming to the Nodge. Chuffed with that if it comes off

by GSC Mon Jul 01, 2013 12:39 pm

I may be in the minority here, but I'd rather have Redmond than Ince

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Jul 01, 2013 12:43 pm

Can't say I've seen enough of either to make a real choice, but happy to be seemingly getting Redmond for 2m + 1.2m in add ons

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Jul 01, 2013 1:16 pm

Reports Le Arse have had a 23m euros offer for Lars Bender turned down

OH WOW YES CHRIS Laugh

by Guest Mon Jul 01, 2013 1:26 pm

Two things:

1. Twitter is blocked at work, what's the pic? Him and the Wolf?

2. Bender at Arsenal would be interesting, 23m euros nowhere near enough though.

by GSC Mon Jul 01, 2013 1:28 pm

Titus Bramble training at West Ha,

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Jul 01, 2013 1:30 pm

Sadly inevitable, convinced we'll sign him or Richard Dunne as we need a 4th choice centre back. He'll be better than Pogatetz anyway

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Jul 01, 2013 1:31 pm

Redmond is not on Ince's level (good low risk signing though)

by Guest Mon Jul 01, 2013 1:44 pm

Having seen both Redmond and Ince play, I don't think there's much between them. Ince is the better player, but I think Redmond has the greater potential. Norwich could be a great place for him to grow into the game. Euro 16 anyone?

by NickisBHAFC Mon Jul 01, 2013 1:45 pm

Did i really see a post where someone said Redmond is better than Ince? Shocked

Sunderland have made 3 signings today, including Modibo Diakite. Paulo using his links and contacts well it seems.

by Guest Mon Jul 01, 2013 1:46 pm

I don't know, did you?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Jul 01, 2013 1:47 pm

With the Redmond/Ince comparisons you gotta remember Redmond is two years younger than Ince

Had his best season under Hughton last year, hopefully he'll flourish here

by Guest Mon Jul 01, 2013 1:49 pm

Not to mention, Redmond's dad doesn't seem to be as involved with his son's career as Tom Ince's interfering old sourpuss dad Whistle

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Jul 01, 2013 1:52 pm

Low risk/high reward potential. Annoyed we didn't go in as he'd have definitely come here (him and Rav the chav are gangsta bros).

Can't see Redmond ever being an England regular, but his value probably won't drop below 3m in the next five years even if he does nothing

by Guest Mon Jul 01, 2013 1:58 pm

I can see Ince stagnating and never getting better than this, same for Zaha, whereas Redmond strikes me as a different character altogether. Reminds me of Tony Daley for some reason.

by **Mat** Mon Jul 01, 2013 2:16 pm

Albion are looking at Nicolas Anelka on a free transfer, also got interest in Nacer Chadli, Toivonen, Sinclair(loan) and Demba Ba(loan)

Demba Ba on loan would be a lovely signing. Clarke using his links with Chelsea/Mourinho nicely it seems

by Guest Mon Jul 01, 2013 2:25 pm

As long as Anelka stays 1,000 miles away from our club, I'm happy. So while I wouldn't normally be happy about it, I'd love Demba Ba to sign on loan for us. Or Torres.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Jul 01, 2013 2:30 pm

I feel its probably going to be West Ham vs West Brom for Ba's signature on loan this season, although its hard to tell with us.

Wigan have also bid for Albert Adomah. Apparently a bid of 850k, but Bristol want £1.2m.

He's improved last couple of years, limited but decent cover for Tiote or as centre back. Would not want to see him leave before Obertan, Ameobi, Gosling or Gutierrez etc. What's the fee?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Jul 01, 2013 2:49 pm

Do we need to be starting a new thread soon?

by NickisBHAFC Mon Jul 01, 2013 3:08 pm

No.

Bolton have signed Alex Baptiste from Blackpool. With the way they finished the Championship last season, i expect them to be one of the big sides this season.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Jul 01, 2013 3:35 pm

I can never keep up with these site things, should never have made me a mod.

How many Prem clubs are back for pre-season today?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Jul 01, 2013 3:36 pm

Norwich are back on Thursday

by Guest Mon Jul 01, 2013 3:41 pm

According to the special needs guy at our church, Reading stuffed Norwich 5-0 on Saturday night in a pre-season friendly Laugh

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Jul 01, 2013 3:44 pm

Well considering most of our players are still in various places around the world, yet to come back to the club for pre-season training, it's pretty unlikely.

It's no way to talk of the Vicar though Azzy

by Guest Mon Jul 01, 2013 3:46 pm

He's a Gooner, so he's probably thought of that way by half the Tottenham-supporting congregation.

by **Kenny** Mon Jul 01, 2013 4:33 pm

Can everyone go onto the new thread below , then this one can be locked as it has gone past the 1000 post mark . Thanks
