THURSDAY - ON OUR RADAR - Window closes in 63 DAYS time...

Left Backs/Centre Backs

Joe Gomez -Clearly our #1 LB/Defensive target. Hughton has even gone on record to confirm which HARDLY EVER HAPPENs. "We've registered our interest and i'd like think we're in the running" says CH. The Mirror jumped the gun yesterday (Weds) and said he'd signed but looks like Klopp wants another look pre-season before letting him go. 8/10
https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showth...2948-Joe-Gomez

Markus Suttner - Keen and reports indicate he (and agent) wants to come to the hallowed Prem League but the Germans are trying to force up the price so no deal yet and i guess dependent on Gomez chats. - 8/10
https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showth...Markus-Suttner

Dennis Aogo A rare tweet from Bozza; "could be the answer" he said about the Schalke LB. Albion fan/Bundesliga journo definitely not a fan. Jonathan Harding countered - "he's not" he insisted. Kite flying from the NSC supremo ? but then he's usually on the money. 8/10 (but they can't all come)

Ferland Mendy - Le Havre. Might have been on the LB list at some point but nothing since several reports a month ago. 2/10
https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showth...avre-left-back

Kieran Gibbs Most unlikely The Arse still have him up for sale at £15m and are struggling for suitors. Albion (and a few others) are "looking into " but lets face it the price will have to tumble. 2/10 unless Wenger has a clearance sale and other targets don't come off.


Strikers

Tammy Abraham - Looks all over. Swansea flashing the cash has put paid to Albion interest. Not prepared to play those games it appears . And lets face it, what a shit penalty. 1/10
https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showth...Tammy-Abraham/

Lois Diony Still only the odd report in L'Equipe about the 24 year old, £15m striker apparently insisting we're interested . But "We've not received any offers" reminds Djjon President. This looks like paper rubbish 2/10.

Gianluca-Lapadula Scored 8 goals in SERIA A for Milan last season. 27 year old striker. "we've sent a delegation" to watch him says sketchy local news reports. And thats about it. So i'm only giving it 3/10
https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showth...-Milan-Striker

James Troisi Another Oz international .Originally "Negotiations intensifying" and "looks set to join" says local proper Oz paper. But now new reports says Albion's move has "floundered" . Money of course. 3/10
https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showth...ions-intensify


Central Mids

Mooy - Argus insist we've "cooled interest" in the Oz midfielder. Hudds it is then. 5/10
http://www.northstan
dchat.com/showth...19-Aaron-Mooy/

Thomas Delaney Danish international who has impressed for Werder Bremen in last few months. Initial excitement now dampened down by multiple reports that Bremen aren't having it. NOT FOR SALE. Oh yeah. 4/10

World CUP WINNER - Josh Onomah - "wanted on loan" says The Sun but then how many loanees can we actually have (just 2) so dependent on Tammy/Gomez chasing. 4/10

Wingers
Genki - Seems to have gone all quiet. still not going away. Nothing for days. And another winger 4/10
https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showth...nki-Haraguchi/

Oliver Burke - Are all our targets in the Bundesliga ? ?? - Hudds are also interested (as per) . Hasn't worked out for him. Could be a loan. All a bit sketchy and haven't we got enough wingers anyway. 5/10

GoalKeepers
Maenpaa - Not sure of delay with this one. All signed, sealed and ...Presumably on holiday. Barber says they are still at it. 10/10

The usual
A.Another - Gross style signing out of the blue not rumoured anywhere. 10/10.
u23 A.Nother Exciting new signing but then you realise they're headed direct to Dev Squad never to be seen again or for BHAWFC. 10/10

Long since dropped from list as it was too long anyway: Macdonald, Snodgrass, Cairney, Toivonen,

Incoming
Signed: Gross #10, Ryan (GK)
New Contracts: Stephens, Sidwell, Bong, Maenpaa (TBC)

Outgoing
Gone Stockdale, Pocognoli, O Grady.
For Sale Norwood
For Loan: Walton, Lua Lua, Manu, Ince , Towell, Hunt
Sold Elsewhere: Hughes

Caveats caveats if you actually believe in any of this stuff...

Andy Naylor reminds us pushers of this gossipfest.
"Nothing in a lot of the names you're seeing".. And a certain @not-andy-naylor reminds us that "50% of our signings were not mentioned anywhere before signing. That should tell you a lot about reliablity of media reports".

And for reference here's PB singing strategy. "we don’t just have a single player on our list. We have a cluster of players of the same quality and that is how we work.This whole transfer window, as always, is very much a waiting game. People have to be patient.”

And these words from TB about 2017/18. Its mostly his money after all:
"Money is spent every season at every single club. We have to strengthen, that goes without saying. But we’re not looking to spend huge amounts. We’ll do things on a gradual basis, as we have done. We have good players already, and we want to strengthen from that position."

And CH on fee inflation curtailing business "Over the last year, some of the big name transfer fees have pushed up. You look at the sort of money even some of the top teams are being quoted for some of these top players [8m - 15m] and I think that has a knock-on effect.
that is something we are going to have to cope with and get around.”

Its going to be a long long summer. Window closes :

Anyone missing - let me know. I NEED A SAUCE to include.

Many thanks as ever [MENTION=24867]chaileyjem[/MENTION]. You've managed to descend a cloud of doom with your striker probabilities (although I can think of a few on here will view your projections as overoptimistic); on the other side, it could be counter-balanced by the 10/10 you're giving for the 'A.N. Other' category. Gomez I see as defensive cover, as he can play across the defence and it seems that right-back is his best position. Suttner is a left back, as is Aojo, although the latter can also play left wing back (which might become left midfield in a CH protect a lead, or more likely a point, scenario) and defensive midfield, so they still all might come in.
