The 2016 summer transfer thread

[Believer]

Are we not going to go for a cheap championship LB as backup for cresswell?

I don't think there's such a thing. Although he is no longer championship, I note Liverpool I think it is have been quoted £15m for Robertson.

Championship teams will be upping their prices big time now due to the increase in Sky money but also due to the success rate of the likes of Creswell and Antonio.

Nathan Redmond is having a medical at Southampton .

£11m .

The same price for Andros Townsend? So about right...

A good buy I think, Southampton have been unbelievably shrewd with signings.

Once he gets in front of Shaun Wright-Phillips in the medical queue of course.

Decent looking chap but back on topic and let's talk about football please

Quoted on Twatter
Lyon President Jean Michel Aulas: "Alexandre Lacazette will not go to PSG."

[Voronin]

Martin Olsson to Besiktas according to various sources. Probably means we're getting their current LB :lol:
Who is that?

And we thought our chairmen were bad on Twitter. This bloke openly discusses on-goon transfer business.

[KernowHammer8]

Tore is looking very close with that Muzzi bloke and another Turkish agent tweeting about it. I can't wait Tore cutting inside on his left with Antonio bombing past him. Anyone know how much of a defensive/workrate shift Tore puts in?

More than that. He's said it in an interview on camera.

It's been annoying me how ,if you believe the internet rumours, the way the club appear to be making what I think is public overgenerous bids for Batshuayi and Lacazette, but in this case a high bid for Batshuayi could allow OM to make a "loyalty payment" to one or more of the other three above and encourage them to sign for us and hey presto ,everyone is happy (except other clubs wanting to sign these players).

[RyanWHUFC]

Wonder how much EMBOLO would cost? Unreal potential, only 19 years old.

[Burnley Hammer]

He puts in a shift in his attacking position - ie, he'll defend from the front. He doesn't get back so much to defend though. Feghouli would be better for that.

[HammerMan2004]

Tore apparently joining on £25,000 a week. :shock:

[Beavis Danzig]

"listen son, we know you want to come here but we have to pay you something or we'll get in trouble"

[bobbymooresbracelet]

That's a 100 grand a week in Turkish Lira.

[Chippenhammer]

£25k isn't a lot for a player of his alleged repute. However he has to show that he deserves it. If true I am looking forward to seeing what he can do. We need those strikers though.

[EastleighHammer16]

We've 'signed' Tore about 12 times this window. I'll believe it when he's holding up the shirt.
