Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Toronto Villa]

Did anyone else like me, get the impression that Tom Cleveley's applause to the crowd when substituted yesterday had the air of bye bye about it?

I thought exactly the same.

Maybe it was muted because he hates to lose and didn't think losing two straight needed the full Olof. In fact the whole thing looked muted and would have been a lot different had we won.

I suspect he's as unsure as us at this stage so probably just gave a good clap to the fans anyway, we can all read too much into these scenarios.

[LukeJames]

I thought it was just your typical player being substituted, jogging off the pitch, polite applause, nothing too see here.

[KRS]

The thought didn't even cross my mind tbh...he's playing for us in the FA Cup Final so if anything it was a "see you all next week clap".

[TheMalandro]

The first transfer window that I have had any enthusiasm about for a while. The past few years I've been more preoccupied with the ownership and management issues.

My gut feeling is that even with a limited budget Sherwood will buy well. You just know that the main criteria for signings will be hunger, respect and probably confidence in their own abilities.

His desire to balance the squad and play players in their best position will also be a novelty for us.

[dave shelley]

I don't think so...

[silhillvilla]

We have so much work to do over the summer it's crazy.

[TheMalandro]

I don't think so...

Which bit Dave? Or all?!

[dave shelley]

Sorry for the ambiguity, I think he's off.  There was just something about the way he did it that said to me it was a farewell gesture.

Ah thought it was a reply to what I'd just written.

I hope you are wrong, but do also think he'll get more tempting offers.

[dave shelley]

I hope I'm wrong too, it would be nice.

Newcastle and Aston Villa eyeing shock move for Championship winger

Premier League sides Newcastle and Aston Villa are eyeing shock moves for Reading winger Tarique Fosu, according to Get Reading.

Fosu is a target for Villa and Newcastle United

The 19-year-old is a star in the making at Reading and looks set to burst into the first team next season, as the Royals look to recover from a torrid Championship season.

He came on for fellow academy product Jack Stacey in the first half of the Royals’ final games against Derby County, after Stacey picked up a knock.

The youngster was extremely impressive, and had some very decent attempts on goal, showing pace, skill and maturity on the ball.

Reading will look the keep hold of one of their brightest talents as they prepare to blood a few youngsters into their squad for next year, such as Dominic Samuel and Jack Stacey.

Newcastle and Aston Villa are eyeing up the youngster, but the lack of first team football may put Fosu off.

Press are reporting Jedinak at Palace is available. Limited a player as he is, he always impresses me with how well he holds a midfield together. Also Trippier is reportedly off to Spurs for 3.5 million, which is incredibly cheap, but also must mean that Walker is not flavour of the month. I would love Walker back here.

Rickie Lambert is a really good player

Really good? He's decent at best but he's getting on now and would be only useful for the odd 20 minutes here and there.

I wouldn't mind us getting Hull's striker N'Doye and shipping out Weimann/Gabby (both would be nice) if we are looking at cheap bargins 14/5 since Feb isn't bad at all.

If Newcastle went down you'd have to be looking at Cisse maybe still get in a bid. 22/11 this season isn't to shabby.

Gabby 31/6 Get rid
Weimann 33/4 ^

The guy is on over 50K a week and turns up and actually earns his once every 3/4 months, enough is enough.

[Goldie.7]

Fail.
