The 2016 close season transfers thread

Yeah, a lot of chatter on twitter about this.

Norwich fans selflessly suggesting that we’d be a good destination for his development.

Haven’t seen anything concrete though.

Got to love Norwich fans

Looking to buy him for £11m in the next few days! Who is buying him, we do not have a manager :lou_wink_2:

This is Nathan Redmond right? Or is there another Redmond at Norwich? Isn’t he about 40 years old now?

Is that the guy who is a bit like Raheen Sterling but more erratic and with less end product?

Um, yeah.

Never been his biggest fan, but then again I thought the same about Bertrand, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah but £11m? Maybe take him on loan and see how it works out again??

Is £11m really that much for a 22 year old English winger with Prem experience?

Seems about right to me, football’s lost it’s head.

Aye, that’s the problem with the new TV deal, clubs may have shit more moeny but than transfer fees go through the roof! Rather akin to the housing market I guess…

I know people disagree on here but surely Pelle is worth more £9m.

It’s hard to Quantify, but Leicester offering £20m for Troy Fkn Deeney, and Watford saying that’s not enough(!) is strong evidence for the Prosecution.

Duncan Holley has just tweeted that we’re about to loan Calum Chambers.

Aye, I saw that too and was about to post it here…

I have heard from an impeccable source that Calum Chambers coming to # saintsfc on loan is a done deal

Not quite sure how I feel about that, right back IIRC which is where we are lacking I guess.

If this means we can direct funds elsewhere… I suppose… that’s… good?

Not sure he’s better than Cuco and unless we stand to gain from his development after the loan period, it seems an odd one.

Can we trigger payment clauses by giving him first team football? :lou_eyes_to_sky:

I am ok with that I like Calum. Any idea if the deal includes a clause for Spurs to buy him at end of loan?

I’d expect that if we’re interested in loaning him, we’ll look to woo him back.

Another grass ain’t always greener scenario, perhaps - we take enough rejects from Chelsea. Maybe it’s time we had one of our own back.

Surely he will come to us, European football and all?

Chris reaches the conclusion that Mane will leave if someone offers enough, oh, and he also ends the article with the word “asshat”.

He will be changing one bench for another. But we do need defensive cover.
