Transfer rumours

[BeloEmre]

The irony of course is that Lejeune is the better defender and has been sacked off for no apparent reason.

Probably because he’s never fit.

[Rafalove]

If we are to progress we need to show some imagination in the transfer market. Doesn’t look like we are

[TheInfiniteOdyssey]

Smalling is a canny defender but we have a good bunch already at the club

 

Why the fuck are these idiots after players that don’t address the actual weaknesses in the team which is primarily, a lack of goals

 

Take the £30m or whatever and sign a proper goalscoring striker you inept cunts

[buzz]

Smalling is probably a bit above our station  He'd be comfortably our best defender.

It’s crackers. Bruce has been reverting back to two centre backs, we already have about 6 of the fuckers and absolutely no money to spend. So let’s go buy another.

[Guest Howaythetoon]

Smallimg is a level about Lascelles, easily!

[Shearergol]

He is, but I fucking hate him. Bring him in please.

Just absolutely bog standard transfer targets, simply bodies through the door cos they're available. No plan, no imagination, just available and affordable. Looks as if even the famed transfer policy has completely gone out the window too (buy them young and cheap, sell them established and expensive). Symptomatic of a regime that has well and truly checked out I guess. Now it's "whatever agent chuck-arounder Bruce wants, Bruce gets; I don't give a fuck."

Schar has 12 months left, he’ll be sold. Lejeune didn’t seem Bruce’s cup of tea from the start and has injury problems. Dummett is barely a left-sided CB in a back three, he’d not be in the picture in a two. He’ll go back to being considered a left-back. That leaves Lascelles, Clark & Fernandez. Could 100% see why Bruce would want Smalling.

Two new full backs, a winger, a central midfielder, and a striker is the bare minimum needed.

[Guest reefatoon]

It’s nowhere near priority though considering we have nobody to put the ball in the net and no money to spend.

To stay up?

Think I'd rather see how cheap Badou Ndiaye could be then go for Davies.

[David Edgar]

Davies is not Prem quality. Haha

I found out the other day that Smalling sounds exactly like Richard Ayoade.

[Raconteur]

Thought Roma wanted him permanently.

 

I feel like I read they weren't willing to pay the wages he wanted - which would make him an odd target for SDFC

Newcastle are eyeing up a move for Oxford captain Rob Dickie as Steve Bruce looks to strengthen his defensive options over the summer.

 

The England under-19 international was watched by Leeds and West Brom scouts throughout last season, but it is Newcastle who could make the first move with budgets limited after the collapse of their takeover.

 

With just a year left to run on his existing contract, Dickie would only cost around £2million with Oxford knowing they would miss out on a fee for the centre-back next summer.

[La Parka]

Why centrebacks
