Remember the Masinga sighting but didn't he actually agree to sign for Strachan following relegation but didn't get a work permit?

You think this is our new man @shepardo01 ? Must admit (without knowing much about either) I would prefer him to the Sheff United keeper.

Just bumping this as it was mentioned on page 1... Back in April... But apparently Grant has a clause in his contract where he can leave if a Championship club meets a release clause which is believed to be a pretty modest value.

Should keep him out of the shop window.

McCann was after we sold Keane so probably had more money to fritter away than ever. I think we were preparing to pay about £4.5m for him and Rangers kept upping the price each time we thought we had a deal.

Lund was pictured on the back of the Telegraph holding the shirt. Then failed a medical with a knee injury. Not long after he went to Wimbledon and his knee went and pretty much ended his career.

Decent article from the Telegraph back from 2001 with Ray Clarke with some info from his days as European scout... https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/clarkes-ruud-past-3176966

Believe he shook hands with Ron Atkinson on a deal.

Hope they made a similar PowerPoint presentation to convince Newcastle to part with Jamie Sterry.

I think Norwich would get 15% of the profit rather than the full transfer fee. So if they sold him for £25m to Leicester. Leicester then sold him to Arsenal for £30m, Norwich would get 15% of the £5m profit - so £750k. We may then be entitled to 15% of that £750k.

Don't necessarily see the ridicule this has received. Too many 'prospects' at top clubs waste too much time not playing competitive games. We are exactly the type of club a player like him should come to on loan. At present would he be guaranteed to play 20 games at any bottom half Premier...

The club seemed to stress at the end of the season that the summer recruitment would move away from loans.

How long is pre-season? Six weeks? Players back in two weeks today? We normally have a couple in by then.

Thought the same myself. Would have loved him in League 1. Probably would be an improvement on Biamou and if we were in for James Collins it would indicate we are in the market for this type of player still.

This is pretty much what Andy Turner reported weeks ago. Always been quite confident Walsh would end up here but realistically Swansea would likely still be able to offer him double the salary we would.

Mentioned this on another thread a couple of weeks back. Needed doing. Will be much welcome.

Anything on the grapevine @better days? Think we are close to bringing anyone in?

Generally I treat this page as an aggregator and remain doubtful about any inside knowledge they have but will add they don't tend to post bullshit. If we were in talks with two ex players though you would think one would be Walsh and I wonder whether Josh Ruffles could be the other.

Another lad released from Everton it will be interesting to see where he ends up is Josh Bowler. A right winger signed from QPR as a youngster for a reported £4m+ fee a few years back and that was seen as a bit of a coup at the time.

There is some nonsense on this page though considering it appears to be pretty official. Leroy Sane still listed for Man City for example. Was sold over 12 months ago!
