Did make me wonder with Nixons tweet whether possibly we have a made a breakthrough with Walton from Brighton (as Nixon was the one who broke that news).

Hoping the uncertainty around the Swansea manager might play into our hands with Walsh.

Pre-season training starts Thursday this week so would imagine this would be about right.

Bang, bang, bang in the words of Andy Thorn

Again not a rumour as such but Ravanelli came in on trial under McAllister. Remember he was going to play in the reserves... But clearly couldn't even be arsed to do that. Remember McAllister and possibly McGinnity saying when he was in the office set to sign he kept taking calls with his...

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.
