The Transfer Window Rumours thread

Re: The Transfer Window Rumours thread

It was a really bad hamstring injury, apparently the worst you can have, but he's said to have recovered. I read an interview where he was saying he could have been back for Pompey's last coupe of games last season at a push, but they decided not to risk it.

No idea who he's been training with recently or if he's had a proper pre-season, but you'd imagine Man City would keep their young players on then go. Not quite the same situation as El Ghazi, who has effectively been without a club, or Kanga, who wasn't a part of Hertha Berlin's pre-season squad.

I suppose I was also reflecting on willock and chambers who were both with clubs I think and bulut indicating they needed gradual introduction so those either injured or out of action therefore needing to take longer again - let's hope they are fit and raring to go sooner rather than later👍

�� Luton Town are interested in signing Mark McGuinness. Cardiff have placed a £10m-plus valuation on the defender and feel they are in a strong negotiating position.

Might not get that fee, but club could still stand to make substantial profit.https://t.co/WiKxp2TZrD

Good player but any fee around that mark would be an absolute no brainer to let him go.

I'd let him go for £5m+

I wouldn't be surprised with a £5m with options rising to something close to £10m

If we get that we have done well. It’s still a shame.

Luton are good at finding the right players with the right stats and characteristics, he's probably a much better player than we know, still at that price we'd have to!

If they are that good at finding the right players why wouldn't they able to build a team that would have avoided relegation last season?

I don't recall anyone saying we were good at finding the right players with the right stats and characteristics when we got relegated from the Premier League.

Interestingly the thread switches to 'who would you go for and Scott Mckenna's name immediately comes up.

I really hope the Mckenna rumours are true, he and McGuinness would be a top class pairing. Dare I say, a promotion winning pairing.

I hope we don't sell McGuinness. Despite the figures being bandied about representing 'good business' under the current ownership there has never been a direct correlation between income and expenditure in the transfer budget.

I agree, we’re supposed to be building a squad to challenge but then people are happy to sell players who can help make that happen.

He's probably our most saleable asset and, much as I would hate to see him leave, I would sell him because it would allow us to invest more in the rest of the team.
