Summer transfer window

[Holtyclaret]

Yes it was a release clause which we decided to activate early.

Surely a release clause is activated by the buying club meeting the set price? (Not the selling club)

Not this old chestnut again I'm done.

[Big Vinny K]

You just can’t debate with stupid can you

[Jakubclaret]

Oh I do so hope that’s true

No doubt that won't stop others persisting though unfortunately. It's 1 of them I can argue the case which I have done repeatedly but then I'll get accused of derailing threads & being argumentative even though I'm polite & don't resort to personal abuse. If ever something was futile this is the best casebook example. Have a good day.

I was only posing the question as you appeared to have the wrong end of the stick.

Do enlighten me if I’m wrong please.

This sums up this thread today

I'm mortally wounded by that revelation.

The thing is where you have a regular debate with a n other it might be better either just to not get drawn in or do it via Private Message. It just comes across as point scoring and is of absolutely no interest to the vast majority.

I'll never understand why people need to get involved in other people's business when it doesn't concern them. With 123 we had only exchanged something like a couple of messages & nothing malicious at all. I think some people are just plain bored me to an extent for even discussing this nonsense.

[JarrowClaret]

It's gone strangely quiet on transfers. I wonder if we are waiting for clubs/players to make a decision?

We desperately need midfielders...DESPERATELY!!

What is so desperate? we definitely need another option in there alongside Cullen but if we went innitially with what we have in there it wouldn’t concern me at all.

On transfers in general not sure if you saw but we have something like the 4th largest squad in world Football, I suspect if there is a delay in incomings it is because we are prioritising outgoings currently. Unless there is something specific that just can’t be ignored I would suggest we need to move out 5-10 players before we sign anyone else.

Cullen and Laurent. In the Premier League? You wouldn't be concerned???!! Wow.

[gandhisflipflop]

Ffs lads get a room

[Holtyclaret]

Cullen and Laurent. In the Premier League? You wouldn't be concerned???!! Wow.

Cullen, Ramsey, Hannibal, Laurent and numerous attacking mf/no. 10’s plus youngsters plus numerous defenders capable of a job at dm.

Many of the linked players are midfielders though so we’re obviously looking to strengthen.

Steve is 50.

It says Spurs are hoping he tries to force a move. He doesn't seem the type to do that though and seems happy here at the minute.

Was I bickering?
I didn't realise I was, I apologise if it appeared that way.

Interesting. It's been a bit quiet on the rumours front, so we might be in for another surprise a la Walker.

If we are doing a medical it will be

[claretlegend]

I much prefer this when we don't really know who's coming in. I like the surprise.

[mkmel]

Sargeant maybe?

[ClaretTony]

I much prefer this when we don't really know who's coming in. I like the surprise.

It’s how it used to be and both Tuanzebe & Walker were close to that this year. Social media has virtually ended that now.

Brownhill?

Any clues on the position and is it a name already been mentioned?

[warksclaret]

All these questions remind me of the programme WOULD I LIE TO YOU

This is exciting

I’ve not seen him mentioned but if we do sign him then I’m certain by then I won’t have an exclusive.

[123EasyasBFC]

Do medicals ever happen before player has agreed terms or clubs have agreed fees?

[jedi_master]

The American chap on Twitter who mentioned Sargent had already been to meet with Burnley a few days ago (and he apparently has a good track record with US Mens players) reckoned we just had to agree a fee with Norwich and that was done.

He's my guess, on that basis.

I retract my suggestion!

I can confirm I don’t have a Sargent article written.

Brownhill?

I thought that as well lol

Former player returning?

Is he a name we'll have all heard or knows?

International with a European country and I’ve definitely heard of him

Pope?

Heard it’s Oscar Bobb

Old or young?
Is he a good en.

[boyyanno]

Interesting thought

Is it a loan or permanent?
