Latest Summer Transfer Rumour

Following on from the unlikely Garry O rumour and the likely Jamie Hammil report, I believe we have made an approach to middlesborough for Wilo Flood.

I believe that we also enquired about him In january. Do you think he'd burst through into the first team or would we need someone to mop up if he was playing?

He might turn out to be another wishy-washy midfielder but, then again, he might score a torrent of goals.

Keep dripping us these rumours....

Towell will come in handy for splashes.

He could plug a gap, but if we've tapped him up he could be a drain on our resources.

Think he could be a dam good signing.

Apparently Newcastle fans want par dew to sign him as flood is often backed by a toon army.

This signing will have the fans coming back in their waves.

Edit: Nah that was rank, floods of tears here.

Hopefully not as many puns with each rumour! :rolleyes:

Puns are fun to tap into but not when you have to faucet.

You do also get the occasional leak without puns.

Seriously though, he would be a good signing if fit and motivated. Could work well in tandem with Palsson, Scott, Thornhill, et al.

If we get the Flood of 3 seasons back then i'd agree.

If we are looking at Boro players would maybe be worth looking to see if Barry Robson is available :confused: Would do a job in the middle of the park IMO.

An interesting idea until he tyres. Players' form goes in cycles. Given the reputation of Hibs players, can he handle bars?

The problem is, though, that Robson will be 33 next season. Flood's only 26, has Robson still got the drive on him that he had at Utd?

Well if he's no good then he'll be on his bike.

At 33 your probably right he wont be the player he was at Dundee Utd and his first season at Celtic but I still think he'd do a job for us. No idea what sort of wage he is on at Boro though so it might not be viable.

Methinks CC may well have a lot of players in mind and will be making contacts here, there and everywhere.

Me also thinks that we won't be getting news of any done deals any time soon, I would hazard a guess in that respect, oh, just before the new season or thereabouts.

Just my suspicion, like

Is this thread a genuine rumour or is it just here so people can make hilarious jokes?

Think he's been more of a trickle for the last two seasons.
