Summer transfer thread, AvB window wrap up pg 1527

[AdamB]

The article posted earlier suggesting we are letting 5-6 players go today is remarkably similar to POTL's ITK from yesterday. The blind leading the blind?

Wouldnt be surprised! The Daily Fail have to get their material from somewhere

On the 5-6 players leaving, its all very well wanting them to go but most are probably on half decent wages so might be hard to get a buyer unless the price is low or we subsidise their wages. Jenas and Bentley are the main two - if we havent been able to shift them for the past 2 year (or 4 windows) I struggle to see why we would now given that they've barely played for 2-3 years.

Gallas, if the rumours are true, I could see being sell-able or more accurately offload-able as there wouldnt be a fee

Would be disappointed to see Naughton go as bizarrely we might need a back-up RB, unless Smith is up to it

And to be fair to him he mentioned that player's name before it came out in the media.....

Could be wrong but didn't he give some cryptic 'French man imprisoned in the woods' gonads? Then his disciples on SC automatically assumed it's Lacelles?

He did the prison cryptic didn't he?

It's when they do the cryptic brick that annoys me most, otherwise I quite enjoy reading the constant ITK ramblings.

He said things changed when the billionaires took over.

I'm pretty sure the billionaires took over before he made a comment saying the deal was done (or at least rumoured to be taking over). Stop making excuses for him every single time ffs. I mean how can a deal be "done" yet things change afterwards? if it's done it's done.

I think Rossi could be JJetset

We are happy to announce that our talented young defender jamaal lascelles has signed a new four-year contract with the club.

Yes, because they have Dempsey in that very position who is the better player (in that spot) while Dembele is too valuable/skilled to drop all together - hence make/do

That's because Dempsey is more prolific. Dembele has scored 5 goals in 60 appearances for Fulham, so given his skillset - playing him deeper was a no brainer.

This is further justified given his performances playing deeper were more impressive than in a more attack minded role.

Actually it wasn't jetset that mentioned it first, it was BEN - http://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/index.php?threads/update-93-ben-on-forest-cb.87285/

Kuwaitis took over on 10th July - http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11727/7888033/Kuwaitis-seal-Forest-takeover

I'm pretty sure it's him or he at least knows him personally. Have a look at all the itk comments on this thread after Rossi made that dramatic speech about not posting itk stuff again. It's Rossi himself that's relating the stuff to itk.

who cares who mentioned it first? jjetset still mentioned it too so they were both wrong.

ITKs!!! get them, find them and kill them. they are all as bad as Prick of The Lane

 

[Rossi22]

Why couldn't they have both been right and Forest being taken over by billionaires stopped the deal from happening? Or is that an insignificant change?

 

[Wriggly]

Just read the last few pages, are we talking about Dembele or Xavi ? Find it hard to tell the difference.

As i said, i'm pretty sure Jjetset (aka you or your mate) has commented on the deal after the billionaires took over (or at least when they were rumoured to take over).

 

[Rossi22]

Do you think there was a deal there and it all changed when they won the lottery? Or the takeover made no difference? Or there was no interest in the player to begin with? As I'm sure we've been linked on and off with him since January.

You weren't a fan of Sigurdsson, before we signed him either? Right?

No I really don't think they were, especially considering the season before that we was deployed further forward - but seeing that you have found you weekly point to disagree with me on - I rather not bite any further. It is obvious why Jol has accommodated him in such a way and he was no different while playing in Holland.

If you think he is a playmaker material in the Modric mould - little to add really

Agreed - he always defends him - I sense a connection

 

[Rossi22]

Have you noticed Arc that you're regularly in the minority with your opinions? Trying to claim uksb is in some way baiting you when I can only see people with the same views as his, don't see too many backing you up here.
