Summer transfer window 2017/18

Bunn should be sold. In all honesty I thought he was gone already. Surely Johnstone, Steer and Sarkic is sufficient.

Agreed - but who would buy at whatever his wages are?

Daily Mail saying we're leading the race to sign Snodgrass after making an 'attractive' loan offer to West Ham.

Never thought I'd see "Snodgrass" and "attractive" in the same sentence......

We've been discussing with maybe the last in this window for one week. Hopefully it'll be right decision.

Last time Xia used the megaphone and 'soon' symbols we signinged Onomah the next day, so guessing something's very close, most probably Snodgrass.

Yeah, I really think Snodgrass would be a massive signing for us. Let's remember that he can play right wing, left wing and as a number ten, plus he's a free kick specialist and got NINE goals and SIX assists in the premiership last season. Simply brilliant numbers tbh.

Another fact that I highlighted to the club in the summer, is that left-footed right-wingers have been tearing up the championship for the last few years. Ince at Derby got 15 goals, Costa at Wolves got 12, Jota at Brentford got 12, Ritchie at Newcastle got 14 etc etc. Really is incredible how well they've done in this division.

I suspect Snoddy would play right, Green left and Hourihane in the number ten role. Then maybe Elmo could move back to right-back? Either way, we'd just be adding yet another player with Premiership experience to the side, and I can't see how we could have any excuses if we get this deal over the line tbh.

Someone tweeted Xia that he doesn't sound too convinced in his last tweet to which he replied...

Honestly I would like give youngsters more opportunities, maybe the same way I ran my business as always like bring young team to grow&gel.


Xia seemingly, publically doubting Bruce. Although if it's Snodgrass, I agree with Bruce that he'd be a good signing for us.

Word is the Snodgrass deal is almost done, on the live feed someone saying they have seen him at the ground tonight.

Would you believe it Bacuna has scored for Reading

Sky Sports News reporter at the game yesterday claims the Snodgrass deal looks close...

Spoke to Villa asst manager Calderwood about Snodgrass- couldn't say much but said he prob been sent through as that was on-going #avfc

And

Michelle Owen‏

He said he'd probably been sent to do interviews as Bruce was sorting Snodgrass business potentially. Sorry hard to explain in a tweet!

Then when asked if it's gonna happen she said..

I think so

Think it would be a stunning signing. And IF it does come off, we would have signed Terry, Whelan, Elmo, Onomah and Snodgrass, ALL premiership players.

From our usual tbar source this is a done deal.
Great news.

I must have missed the rule change ... how many loan players are we allowed now? We've already got 2

Onomah is one, who is the other?

Johnstone

I thinK if I remember right you are pretty much allowed as many loans as you want but there are rules around how many can play at a time. I think you're allowed 5 domestic loans but only 4 can be in a squad at a time. Foreign loans you can pretty much to as you please hence watfords promotion winning team and to a lesser extent Huddersfield last year.

Hopefully a massive flurry of "outs", probably a lot of them on deadline day.
Should include McCormack, Gardener, Bunn and Elphick. In my wildest dreams, Hutton and Agbonlahor too. Really think Bjarnasson is going to end up as an out, even if not in this window.
