Summer Transfer Window 2017

[D410]

We need to start moving through the gears and get these key players in before stoke.

..worth mentioning the link with Vitesse goalkeeper, Eloy Room, just for the name.

The Eloi were the surface dwelling race in H G Wells' The Time Machine novel. A second race, the subterranean dwelling ape-like troglodytes were called the Morlocks. The novel's time travelling protagonist speculates that the human race has evolved into these two species: the leisured, moneyed classes have become the ineffectual Eloi, and the downtrodden working classes* have become the brutal light-fearing Morlocks.

* he later refines his theory to conclude the troglodytes were actually evolved from Stoke FC supporters

I remember buying Linderoth on Championship Manager 00/01 and we bought him the next week. He was a lot better on the game though.

They'd definitely fixed that by CM 01 / 02. He's bang average in my current game.

That Terry Mortlock wasn't bad.......

Soooo

Sig, striker, defender. Sorted.

Who do you think we will go for?

 

[bluekangaroo]

Sigurdsson, Ben Gibson and Giroud would do me. 90million.

???
Sig

Honestly no idea anymore. So far this summer we've had heavy links then signings. Aside Giroud we've had nothing except mini links.

yeah i know, the post i was replying to was about a game.

OK mate wasnt implying anything, just saying that in a database driven game on a PC theres always a chance that could happen

Could be a interesting month ahead.

i'm okay if one or two come in after the season has started tbh. We've bought so many that it'll take a good time for the team to gel as it is. Think siggurdssson will be done by then, i think williams will be a lot better with pace alongside him than people think, so centre back isn't urgently needed. I would really like us to have our new striker in before the season starts, but we'll have enough attacking options to get past them regardless.

The key will be having them in for the big games though, we won't score many if we're playing against those teams with the current crop.

Sorry I know you might be biased about Welsh players in the same way Barry Horne thought Simon Davies was the Welsh Nedved but Ashley Williams isn't good enough for a team wanting top 6 never mind top 4.

The Terry Mortlock (Hurlock) comment reminded me of this vid, where he suggested he was about to join Everton (before joining rangers). Never heard we were in for him back in the day - strange one!

Swap deal.

Van Dijk to us Barkley to Southampton.

That would suit all parties.
