2018 summer transfer thread

[Ricey]

If Payne is off anywhere it will be back with Blackburn in the Championship.

 

[Brett Angle]

None of the above.

Don't be surprised if you hear that a former player is considering a possible return to Blues this summer. My understanding is that preliminary discussions were held last week.

Former player as in formerly played for us and is still a player, or, former player as in hung up his boots and is returning to us in some other capacity?

 

[geoffmundo]

Gary Hooper!

Could be someone who was on loan

Luke Amos?

Sounds like he was excellent during his loan spell at Stevenage, plays central midfield and has the CP Spurs connection so he’s a player he should know well.

 

[onceknownasrab]

Maybe Ian Benjamin is going to coach. When Mohsni returns we will have Bilel and Ben. Sadly it will probably be the little weed Shaq.

 

[Ricey]

Adam Federici?

Possibly Luke Prosser? He has not signed a new contract with us as yet and his current one expires this Summer, I have no knowledge of anything going on, it is just a thought.

He is already working for CP as a scout.

You really should stop with those thoughts CAP. Luke's probably a solid FL2 defender, and therefore ok for you, but we're in FL1 mate. Like I say, no more thoughts eh?

Amos is a possible one. Couldn't imagine Amos and Dru being the most physical midfield though.

 

[Brett Angle]

Not a former loan player. And returning as player not coach. No further clues as it might not prove very helpful to those trying to get deal done. Dare I say it though ... definitely a potential 'wow' signing.

Would it be a loan signing or a full signing? Lenny would be the only “wow signing” returning player I could think off from recent years but I could only see that ever being a loan and even then it’s very unlikely.

Possibly Stuart O’keefe? Not sure what his contract situation at a Cardiff is but would have thought it be unlikely he’ll feature much there now they are back in the premier league. That said, I thought he did okay at Palace in the premier when given the chance and has been good for Pompey this season so much so reading a quick media article they want him there again next season.

 

[C V Shrimper]

Leonard? Not exactly had many chances at Sheffield so far.

Lenny is an interesting one. He definitely loved it at Southend and it really hasn't gone great for him at Sheffield Utd. They really can't seem to find a role for him in the team. More money or not, he strikes me as someone that loved playing the game and he certainly won't be happy sitting on the bench most of the time.

A loan for the season would be most welcome. Lenny and Dru in the middle sounds good to me.

Someone else mentioned Thompson, how do we feel about that one? I don't really know if I'd want him back.

Lenny would certainly be a “wow signing” even if only on loan for a season and like you, I’d very much welcome that move. He’d be awesome alongside Dru who I could see progressing even further next season with that.

Not sure I’d welcome Adam Thompson back though, he was a bit dickish when he left.. let him rot in league two as far am I’m concerned.

It's not Adam Thompson.

 

[Benfleet A1]

Oooh the suspense. Is he under 30, black/white/sky blue pink, left footed, right footed, leo or libra?

Just ****ing name him for christ sake.

 

[rigsby]

It's not Adam Thompson.

Ron wouldn't have him back. He gave his word he was signing, the next contact was a txt from his agent 1 minute before a press announcement at Bury.
