we were in for him heavily last summer missed out and we were linked with him again in january.
Yeah see I saw that, but were we actually in for him? I mean a random Twitter account said we were signing Manzukic but that was obviously bollocks

like other than a couple of people causing the telegraph to link him, I don’t recall any reputable sources confirming this

The link came from the Chelsea journo at Goal before the Telegraph. Someone in here mentioned they’d heard we were still interested this summer. Someone else on here got their wires crossed and thought SBT had started the rumour. That’s the size of it.

Original tweet (he’s the same guy who broke him going to Monaco):



It’s not exactly unheard of that we keep our interest in players.

Tom Leach also confirmed he’s heard the rumours in a Q&A last summer.

I know it’s fun to kick the CT, but it does tend to lead to people overdoing it and making themselves look silly.

Although I reckon the 'long term target' is probably Osti I think there is a small possibility of it being Panzo. We have supposedly been looking at him for a while and with Dijon having been relegated he might be looking to leave. Maybe he's available for an affordable price with a relegation clause?

Some non league one. Other rumour says he is signing for us and we’re loaning him to Worthing. Who knows…

Think it'd be a bit odd for us to do that. If we were signing him and loaning him out I reckon we'd want it to be at least a league club.

Personally don't reckon we'reinterested in him.

Anyone else reckon MR is leaving the decision on Cranie for two weeks because he's MR's back-up option for Osti?

Long term suggests someone we were in for last summer. We know we were at least interested in Panzo then, equally could be someone who was kept under wraps at the time.

Osti isn’t a goer

Someone said we were waiting for Chelsea players to come back from the Euros but that happened a week or so ago.

Azpilicueta and Christensen only returned to training at Chelsea yesterday. Think that would be the final two central defenders back.

Jamie Paterson still not got a club-was rumoured to be on MR radar possibly because he’s from Coventry.

Does the Bright signing basically mean we not in for him now?

I still think he’d do a great job for us.

Paterson is currently still on trial at Middlesbrough and by all accounts his wage demands were beyond what we could realistically offer.

Apparently we were really really close on getting Patterson. The ship has definitely sailed now though. Shame as everybody down here rates him massively.

I would like to know where the budget earmarked for his wages has gone though. Even if we offered below his demands it wouldn’t have been cheap.

Do get the feeling from Robins comments we’ve got enough left in the pot for one more decent signing. Whether that’s Cranie/Souaré or an actual decent signing not sure.
