We have one every close season, Driver, Lansbury, et al, this time it:s O'Hare. Please let's move on.

I've no idea how good he is, but that's a joke for someone of his age and experience.agreenwood wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 8:50 amSounds like the Verbruggen deal still being discussed, but Anderlecht are asking for 10m Euros.
If he was good enough to justify that fee, he would have played a hell of a lot more first team games for Anderlecht.
Move on.
Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
I still think we'll have O'Hare by the end of the window.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Are we assuming BPF does not figure in VK's plans?
Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
I think it will do us good. We will have hardly anyone there so a month for VK to effectively do another mini pre-season given that we haven’t had ideal prep this summer in terms of personnel in/out and still being 3-4 body’s short 1 week before the season starts.Woodleyclaret wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 10:33 amThis window has been the best in many a long while It's filled me with optimism at the thought of the coming season .It's a shame though. that the nonsense in Qatar splits up the season
Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
I’m sure they have all the data required from last seasons loan at Sheff Weds plus seeing him in pre season to make the decision. But it’s clear we’ve been targeting a main number 1, guess it’s up to BPF to either improve and push for number 1 or wait in the wings…
Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Anyone got a link for the Muric thing?
I've been hoping we'd get him over the young Dutch lad. More experienced.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Surely signals that Lowton is leaving. Kompany has been clear he wants two in each position, and I just don’t see us selling Roberts (I hope not anyway). Lowton feels out of the picture and at 33 possibly doesn’t fit what the club is going for.

Wonder if Muric goes straight in at Hudd. Doubtful unless he’s on a plane to Portugal to play in tomorrows friendly.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
I wonder if what was a case of Muric or Verbruggen or whether we wanted both? This just seems to have happened very quickly from the news yesterday about the Anderlecht lad so we were surely someway down the line with Muric also.
Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Weird how we spent so much time chasing the other keeper when Muric was available for £3m.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Anderlecht lad would have been over a few days ago my suspicion is as with mcnally and Ballard, Muric was the number 1 option we went for verbuggen and then managed to negotiate a decent fee for muric so ****** verbuggen off as we did with Ballard.jedi_master wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 11:36 amI wonder if what was a case of Muric or Verbruggen or whether we wanted both?

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Or the Verbruggen stuff was a smokescreen to push City into accepting a lower deal for him?

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
I can remember Muric having some Norris style shockers at Forest but that was a few years ago and if City want a buy back option he must have improved. Only need Delap now and if Cornet does go presumably we up the bid for O’Hare. I’m another one who’d be seriously cheesed off if we sold McNeil on the cheap since I think he could be outstanding in the championship.

He looked like a rabbit in the headlights against Liverpool, and that was BEFORE the kickoff. What followed couldn't have done his confidence any good. Dyche and Billy Merecer must have seen something in him, but we definitely need someone stronger.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 11:33 amThe four goals he conceded in two Premier League games would have all been saved by a decent keeper.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
The old complaint used to be that we'd waste our time chasing a single target and not having an alternative.
We've been chasing both Muric and the other lads at the same time, we've now landed one of them by the looks of it and still people aren't happy.
