Transfer Rumour Brandon Thomas-Asante (2 Viewers)

[Brylowes]

do we expect this announced tonight?

Yeah what is the ETA for BTA.

It’s never easy here is it. Hours after the great news about BTA we’re already selling off Wright and Simms!

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

Getting excited for the season now, would be lovely if we could get a Stamenic type CM in and maybe someone like that Camara bloke, would feel like all positions are properly stocked and ready to go for another long old season

Big JH been back on the scene today, 5 mins into his return he pulls out we're about to sign Burke for 1million, then he changed it to a loan with an option to buy, this response to JH creased me

 

[shmmeee]

That's also my point. Would I be happy if Simms and Wright are sold next summer and BTA is our #1 striker for 25/26? Not on the evidence of his last couple of seasons.

Yeah but we'll have £30m+ to spend

Used to be called tapping up in old money! I'm all for it!

All for the tapping up. I think these days it's only frowned upon when managers talk of other players, not so much what goes on behind the scenes. Rudoni was made well aware we wanted him, and that goes a long way, if a player feels wanted then it can sway deals.

That’s our Doug, straight to the point, ruthless.

 

[Jimmy87]

Any more snippets Jimmy?

I won't mention any names, that was wrong on my part. I don't want George Smiths' Twitter to be blowing up. I will say no need for any panic, lots going on behind the scenes. I think some fans need to change their mind set, with regards to 'bench warmers' and 'first 11's' etc. That's not the aim. Rotation is key.

Why are you complaining about something that could happen next summer

 

[robbiekeane]

I’m buzzing about this signing and even happier we are gazumping other teams marquee signings

We have an embarrassment of riches in the attacking areas really don’t we

I think maybe a quality LWB/LB in the MVE mould and we are off to the races

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Knew somebody on here would know who that is and he's absolutely correct regarding JH lol

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Announce

[shmmeee]

Always three more isn’t it. I bet even Man City fans think they’re just three signings short.

Anyway CM, CB, LB

A shrewd signing, depending on what wage he's on. He's underachieved in his career so far but even at 29 he's got a higher ceiling of potential than BTA. I fancy CC to get the best out of him and quite a few of our fans to be eating their words by the end of the season.

 

[Viktor17]

Right - now for the marquee type midfielder. Vik is going shortly - let’s go for it.

Doug walking back into the changing room after he's just hijacked the Hull City deal for Brandon Thomas-Asante:

 

[skybluecam]

Swapping Marvin Sordell for Stuart Beavon is also a good point of reference

I got told that was a good deal at the time on here

 

[Winny the Bish]

Thank god we’ve gone for BTA and not signed Sam Gallagher like Stoke just have. How depressing must that be.

Yikes, that is a big dose of copium - which I recently found out is not a drug!

I think it’s good to be looking ahead tbh and although I think Asante is a great signing it’ll be interesting to see what happens next season if we sell Simms, Haji or Van Ewijk. I can’t see all of them being here next season, they’ve already proven to be quality at this level and it’s only been one season so far.

It’s the main reason I’d like another RB tbh, not only for rotation, but also so that the player has chance to “gel” with us before we sell Van Ewijk for a decent profit (can only assume that’s what will happen at some point soon).

Let’s just worry about this season first mate? Haha

 

[torchomatic]

Tomorrow according to Sky Sports.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

We’re signing WBA top goalscorer from last season in his last year of his contract for £2.5m. That’s how you do business. He’s proven in this league. Top signing

Ironically, precisely the kind of signing people were saying they’d have made when Wright and Simms were slow off the mark last season.

Thankfully, the last time I recall hearing the phrase ‘I’d have signed a proven Championship striker’ was Sheffield Wednesday at home in the cup replay. We have 3 strikers (Including BTA) who have 10+ goals in a season. Bang on the money!

 

[jordan210]

Nice that we have hijacked a deal rather than the other way round

 

[fernandopartridge]

With Albion announcing Cole I'd say so

Btw what a shit signing that is

It's like when we sold Callum Wilson and got Josch McQuoid in

Now that you've gone

All that's left is Devante Cole

(To the tune of Band of Gold by Freda Payne)

 

[procdoc]

I’ve been reading the Hull forum and to be fair they’re not mad at us or the player. They are pissed off at their owners more than anything

They seem to have replaced their hated former owner with a very similar bloke.

Great song, which will sail right over the heads of the young 'uns lol

A bit like we did in 2007

 

[Tea & Busquets]

We just need the @Tea & Busquets seal of approval

Honestly no clue mate I just woke up and saw this shit but hope it happens, will be really good depth up top brings something different and a great bloke attitude wise.

Mental isn’t it

Yeh so we have a great squad this season but what about next season? What about the season after that????

 

[Cally Fedora]

We’re doing some really shrewd business this summer. Mason-Clark, Rudoni, Thomas-Asante in. In the Championship you need lots and lots of goals. We look really strong up top.
