Summer window begins

[TrianonDave]

I think Gerrard will give it a couple of games, if Watkins and Ings keep firing blanks then maybe he will take the plunge, there's quite a few who need to go but with the world Cup, me thinks the first 8 games will be sort of testing time with what he has got, not sure when the window ends but he has time to make adjustments both now and in January.

Window closes Sept 1st, Gerrard is reportedly seeking a number 8 and another forward - which probably means we won't get either!

[TrianonDave]

Depends who's saying this, I mean Ashley Preece of the Bham Rag has now picked a whole squadron of players linked to us and you know how we do Business, Silent but Deadly!

[TrianonDave]

Confirmed, Cameron Archer signs new improved 5 year deal with us and Gerard saying he will be an important member the squad this season playing an important role!
No loan out...tough luck Preston!

Well, Deano has taken Aaron Ramsey back under his wing, for the season. Good move all around.

[TrianonDave]

Seems Everton want Watkins and prepared to pay 50 mill, could be truth in it as they are holding out for 50 mill off Chelsea for Gordon!! Maybe the press putting 2&2 together and getting 5. Personally we should try and off load Ings and go for Saint Max from the Toon...

[Exiledvillan]

Strong rumour of Sarr from Watford 25m + a % of sell-on has been agreed.

[Exiledvillan]

If true, we'll just need someone to pass to him.

[TrianonDave]

I'm sure we will ruin him, can he play in defence?

[mondaze]

what we really need is another winger... its not like we already have a dozen already out on loan... in truth, what we need is a competent manager, with a real understanding of tactics.
