One of, if not the biggest summers in recent times due to the chance of showing we plan to really kick on with Rafa but it already looks like those above Rafa's head would rather take the chance of spending the bare minimum in order to scrape 17th. All good feeling and momentum has been completely lost since the title winning day.

Who's Curtis Woodhouse and is he reliable? Ex player. Used to play for Birmingham and a few others. I think he had a spell at Hull too and has since done boxing but I can't say i've ever looked at his record for calling transfers unfortunately.

Curtis Woodhouse is claiming that Clucas will be joining us.

If anyone was ever in any doubt over how far we have fallen under MA, the fact that our fans are debating a eyebrow in hope that we can still sign a Norwich player says it all.

The countdown to Rafa leaving once we fail to get this done is well and truly on.

Another transfer that once/if its completed, i'll of lost all interest in due to how long its took to get it done. No other club do business the way we do.

He looked awful in his final appearances for Chelsea and the one time I seen him for Palace. May well of been down to match fitness though.

CB is the one position that we're fine in so obviously we will focus our attention on bringing in another one.

I thought this too. Severely homesick apparently though.

Zouma joining Stoke on loan.

Unpopular opinion time since I know many don't like the way he left but if we're willing to spend 12m on Murphy, i'd rather we emptied the wallet of another 3/4m and brought Townsend back if the deal was possible.

Can't say I know the source but has nearly 72k followers and seems genuine. Not sure how he'd become the one to break the story though.

Worth a shot.

All other reports say that he's joining Fulham. Already in London and medical happening today.

That Jenkinson comment sums up Douglas perfectly.

Amazing how many people are saying they love hearing players saying they support us, love thr club etc yet the 3 players we have currently playing for us who fall into that category (Dummett, Colback, Mitro), are disliked by most on here. Words mean nothing unless its backed up with performances.

City apparently in talks for Reina.

Have we? That's what a journo was reporting earlier, however, it's now changed to a 900k bid being placed so it seems an agreement reached was premature.

Continued their run of signing Everton cast-offs by agreeing a deal for James Vaughan.

A, there'll be 50,000 there whether Rafa stays or goes B, he couldn't give a f*** what the fans think Honestly, how can people this close to the club be this f***ing naive? I could quite easily be proven wrong but i'm not convinced there'd be 50,000 there every week. We've had 10+ years of utter dross but fucking Rafa over would be the final nail in the coffin for many.

Says the kid who booed the team off and wanted rid of him after Blackburn away.

We needed 5 signings to walk into our first 11 at the end of the season (CB, CM, LW, CAM, FOR), as well as another 3 or 4 as squad players to make sure our squad had enough about it to survive. The fact that we've made 1 signing for each is a massive concern and makes relegation a real possibility.

The amount of people on twitter who defend this kid over his performances last season is incredible. He was absolutely dogshit.

I'm not Mitro's biggest fan but i'd have him over Slimani every time. We need far better than both though in reality.

Rewarded with a new contract 2 weeks ago.
