Summer 2015 transfer window thread

[OvingdeanSeagull]

I have been saying for weeks we should have gone after Josh McEachran or Lewis McGuggan they are exactly what we need but rumours says we are back chasing after Lewis Grabban

McGugan would be an awful signing. Attitude wise, he's another Leon Best.

 

[casbom]

Where's these rumours we're chasing Grabban?

Also according the Daily Mail, Sheffield Wednesday have bid £4.25m for Ipswich striker Murphy! For a 32yr old! Crazy!

And what is it with the Sid James pictures on owlstalk. Don't get that at all!

 

[WhingForPresident]

Fingers crossed eh?

Baldock was around 2 million, who were the other two 2 million plus players though?

Ulloa was 2 million Euros, Stockdale was £1 million

Hemed?

Fulham making some decent signings just added Jamie O Haraon a free

Isn't Jamie O'H a bit of a billy big bollox / attitude problems type of player? Ask Wolves fans for a reference?

Think he was at Wolves but has had to rethink and re apply himself.

Bent would have been an excellent signing and good luck to Derby. But not sure why Brighton can only but dream of signing, lets say, £2m+ players. We've bought three of them in the last four years.
And our spending this summer is clearly not over.

Pretty sure you acknowledged recently that Baldock cost less than that, the only outlet trying to suggest it was near £2m was the local Brizzle rag? Reports on Ulloa's fee are also vague, the only confirmed £2m+ is CMS.

The fee for a player doesn't really signal the cost of a player these days or the size of a playing budget.
But ICY was keen on that as a yardstick and argued that "we could but dream" of buying players for £2m fees.
I just pointed out that we had . Three times over the last four years.
but yep. If Baldock cost £1.9m and Ulloa wasn't £2.2m (BBC Sport said he was) then i'm not fussed.

Looks like England's Fabian Delph is set to retire from football to spend his time sitting on the Man City bench. Sad move for him which will lose him his place at Euro 2016.

Looks like Shay Given is off to Middlesbrough.

Totally agree, Only has to look at Scott Sinclair and the lad they took from Everton.

Man City = graveyard for young up and coming players.

To be fair he'll probably take Milner's spot at City - play in the less important league games, but be a decent squad player

 

[albionite]

Rumour is Sheffield Wednesday are after Bamford on loan. Player we should be looking at if not going to go to a prem team.

 

[B.W.]

Well, where are they? Our new striker, winger, CB?

How can Middlesbrough afford Jordan Rhodes ?

Boro's approach to FFP. Pretty similar to Albion and their wealthy owner and £20m+ wage bill
