Official Summer Transfer Rumours Thread 2020-2021


Recommended Posts

I was looking at the under-23 and under-18 squad lists and it has Adedoyin and Hagan as forwards for the under-23s and Bonnington and Zottas as forwards for the under-18s. Both under-18 forwards were involved in the first under-23 game of the season last week against Wigan.

 

Then for the first team you have Rhodes, Windass, and Kachunga. Reach is currently being used as a forward. To say we have a lack of forwards at the club is an undersratement.

 

I'm totally expecting us to go to Bristol City next Sunday with the same choice of forwards. In fact I'm not expecting us to bring anyone in until the domestic only two week window that runs during the next international break. In all fairness though I find it hard to believe we're going to invest heavily in a forward or two while relegation to League 1 hangs over us?

Gayle would be unrealistic but Bonatini and Davis could be alright as a more physical presence up top with Windass or Kachunga 


Yes I hope we are moving on to some other targets now as the Zohore deal seems a bit pricey and is dragging on.

We might be better doing so if we can and if they are willing. It’s much harder to get one when you can only pay them 2.5k a week. The Mackems ended up having to sign Danny Graham!

I am be wrong but where they demanding 5 million from us at the time? 


Aberdeen amazingly turned down £7m for him at one point and now they’re accepting £3m because they’re skint because of Covid.
 

McKenna is massively overrated and not worth anywhere near that money IMO. I really don’t see where the clamour and plaudits come from. We signed Bates at the time we were interested, and I said then that McKenna was a far better player then him, which is true, Bates was and is garbage, but McKenna is still a bang average centre back. We’re really not missing anything major trust me.

Whatever happened to Bates ? Has he found a club yet ?
