That is what happens when you are the biggest selling newspaper in the land by some considerable margin.

I’d question the use of the word “newspaper”.

Celebrity gossip journal might be more accurate.

Southampton have beaten us, Palarse and West Ham to his loan signing, according to several papers today.

Not even sure we've made any attempts to bring anybody in. Just the permanent signing of Mooy.

 

[Icy Gull]

Just a guess, but I imagine all our rivals will pay our targets more than us, as loan players money and game time will be all that matters to them and their agents.

We know Stains and CP are prepared to pay some players far more than us. Yep, money talks, unless it’s a move to a club on the up and winning trophies.

No secret that he came with a HUGE loan fee, so I’d imagine that put us off.

[Bakero]

In the last year of his contract so fee won't be too high. As always, it'll come down to the terms of the contract so won't hold my breath.

 

[Farehamseagull]

I would love this!

Really good player in a position we desperately need a good signing and it would massively piss off so many people I know!

 

[Hiheidi]

Weren't Southampton interested in Steele? Maybe we could include him in the deal?!

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Would be a good signing as can play both RB and LB

 

[Marshy]

Yes please

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Looking at his match by match stats and heat maps for last season, he seems to score highest ratings when playing on the right, predominantly higher up in a more advanced position.

Although he can play on the left, he is better on the right, where he is more likely to dominate his opposing full back.

If we are looking for a RWB, then he seems a great fit.

 

[HyperTony]

Between us and West Ham, Stains looking to buy Downes from West Ham. KWP was one of the only Premier League quality players Stains retained last year, personally think he's excellent. Would love it if he came here, love it.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Good player. Position we need to strengthen. Let’s hope West Ham don’t gazump us.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Good player. Position we need to strengthen. Let’s hope West Ham don’t gazump us.

I think we really need some players in his age group too.

We could sign another £15m wonderkid for rightwing back but this guy is quality and has the experience to really shore up our right side.

I wonder if Lamptey could go the other way?

Well West Ham didn’t do very well when trying to get Ibrahim Osman on board - they dillied and dallied, dallied and dillied . . . .

 

[Han Solo]

I'd take it, the RB/RWB market looks absolutely shite this summer. Almost nothing in the "would start now and could grow into world class in a few years". Michael Kayode from Fiorentina maybe, but Villa seems to be after him. Probably signing a player closer to his peak, like this one.

I hope Lamptey will stay. Think he was one of the better players in the spring and it seems he has learnt to play around losing a bit of that explosivity a few years ago. He is more of a crosser than a dribbler now and his crossing is great actually. With three CBs probably being the tactic, Veltman is more likely to play CB anyway so would be room for both KWP/Lamptey.
