For now...I think we'll see a few moves to Europe.

I hope he goes tbh or gets loaned to the Championship. No room for him.

SSN saying Boro are in discussions with us over both a permanent move for Bolasie and a loan with a view to a permanent deal.

Is the deadline past for Football League clubs or is the August 9 deadline only restricted to PL clubs?

He'll slot into the starting 11 behind the central midfield of Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe and Leroy Fer.

Phil Kirkbride saying we've submitted a deal sheet for the loan of Zouma. This one could be down to the wire.

He doesn't look too impressed.

It's deadline day by the way. In case you have an interest Everton's onfield performances

Anyone even see that kid play either?

got to be careful with keepers. If Pickford is injured Stek is the only one who should be stepping in. Anyone remember Ian Turner and John Ruddy coming into the team when Howard was injured? 

This. Silly not to have three senior level keepers. Last time we only had two, our cover was either Mason Springthorpe or Jindrich Stanek - Mason Springthorpe ended up not even making it professionally and Stanek is currently in the second tier in the Czech Republic... The whole youth crap goes out the window in relation to having cover at Keeper.

We could offer Stek to Chelsea.

They don't need Stek, they've got Rob Green 

were rumored to be interested  - a loan move wouldnt be the worst given weve not got great striking options behind Tosun. Not sure Arsenal would take a loan offer.

exactly, i'm glad brands is hard line no on this, old regime they'd take 100m for him and blow it all on drinkwater, charlie adam, and vardy.

No.

Yeah the mirallas I’m good with I just need confirmation, it said 24 hours and it’s been well over that.  Bolasie rumored for Turkish league, let’s hope that works out.  Morgan back to France and McCarthy to anyone that will take him.  The savings from his doctors expenses alone would give us money to buy the next pogba.

I don't think any of that will happen. Just wishful thinking. Perhaps Bolasie out the door.

big week i would love to see a CM and CB sign.  i'd love to see bolasie, morgan, martina, mccarthy, mirallas, galloway, pennington, and browning all sold

Mirallas is apparently going out on loan. 

I don't see Morgan or Bolasie leaving, or McCarthy since he's still injured.

How does this guy keep getting chances??

If he's not injured, he's drink driving. Must have one hell of an agent.

Shame. Such a talent, in my opinion - great passing range. 

Clearly injuries have been a constant problem for him - not sure if its bad luck/injury proneness or if he doesn't keep up with his body.

As for his drinking - either he has a problem in getting pissed too often or losing all decision making abilities when he gets pissed. The term "problem with alcohol" springs to mind, though I don't know him personally or the situation in great detail, so don't want to outright accuse him.

"Cenk Tosun aside they don’t really have a proven 20-goal a season striker.”

Forgetting the fact that the lad isn'ttt a proven 20 goals a year in the first place how many are we supposed to have? And how many teams do have more than one? Probably about none.

I was literally reading that quote and like... "who has more than one?" - City and Barca are the only two stand outs there.

Such a disappointment. His early career he looked so good, such a complete collapse and I assume all down to not being able to deal with a greater challenge.  

I think he may've physically gone a bit. See how out of shape he looked when he came for preseason last summer.

It feels like we were getting a little short on young goalkeepers. Look forward to him rotting away with the U-19s, then U-21's

He's never been a Chelsea player.

I had moved on to Barkley - I now get you mean Rodwell, who yes, I doubt will ultimately end up as a Premier League player. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I will note, we should cease speaking about Barkley on the Rodwell thread immediately, because inevitably we'll end up talking about Lukaku

If he gets his head right and becomes a decent player then I hope he does it with us; more likely he gets a decent championship career which would keep him in a much better financial position than most (probably all) of us could dream of. His world-beater chance has gone sadly for him. 

I still think he likely has a Premier League career ahead of him, but he needs to get out of Chelsea ASAP. The longer he goes without regular game time, the further off the pace he'll be when he returns. Agree, he will likely never be a world beater.

i think it's cool that we have become this kind of club, baxter now rodwell, soon to be barkley in a couple years.  shows the true heart of the club.

I knew someone would come at it with the "special club" nonsense, but glad we're doing this nonetheless. As for the Barkley comment . 

I can't say I want the lad to go on and become a worldbeater, but I hope he doesn't fail that badly.

Currently training with us for fitness could he possibly play at the back for us. 

We are an entirely different situation than Sunderland. 

ha.

Maybe that's what he's objecting to: He's been told he'll only ever play in home games.

Difference is, I would be happy with the likes of Vorm, Cech, Heaton, Bravo, Mignolet etc as back up. If Stek has to play for any extended period of time he will cost us goals. Then see how happy you are to have him as our number 2.

Any half decent 2 will quickly push for a move if he's not on the back end of his career, though agree.

We need 3 first team ready GKs - right now we have two. This reminds me of the horror thoughts I had a few years ago when we were a run of bad luck from having either Mason Springthorpe or Jindrich Stanek in the net.

Where do these stories come from? 

Let's rank them by ridiculousness:

Davies and Niasse having a row.... 

Moshiri gone broke...

Walcott mad that he didn't get a break and trying to transfer....

100% not ready to play Premier League football. Even as back-up.

Hopefully we've got a loan lined up for him to a Championship club.

This. Being talented and being ready for this level are two different things. Another season of nonstop first team football would do him a world of good.
