Summer transfer rumours, speculation and out-and-out b*ll*cks.

[timeoutbigbar]

Otherwise I reckon:
N'zogbia
Palacios
Kranjkar
Dempsey

Those are good to average, the rest no thanks

[Nirog72]

I'd only take Dempsey and N'Zogbia from that list. Think our defensive midfield option needs to be better than Palacios.

[*shellac*]

I reckon we'll spend about 40. Mcleish likely to be after a few blues players: ...Gardner. Not sure they'll sell to us easily.

Otherwise I reckon:
Darron Gibson
Konchesky
Jenas

If we sign Robbie keane I'll do my nut

I don't think I have that much nuts to crack.

[JUAN PABLO]

If manure buy Sanchez , wheres does Young fit ..

Alexis Sanchez will be going to Manchester...the blue half.

On the basis that we do get McLeish as manager, I can see a double swoop for Foster and Danns.  Both good players, but there'll be uproar as we'll pay through the nose (snigger) for them.  N'Zogbia also and I doubt Downing will stay now.  That leaves the fullbacks and a midfield enforcer to find, but I reckon we'll be lining up something like this is a 4-5-1:-

Foster

New RB (hopefully Walker)
Collins
Dann
New LB

Albrighton
Makoun
New DCM
Delph
N'Zogbia

Bent

[The Situation]

I'd like:

Foster

Walker - Cuellar - Johnson - L.Young

Delph - Palacios - Makoun

Downing - Bent - N'Zogbia

That's 4 new players in (5 if you count Walker). Looks really good. Very athletic and talented team.

I doubt we'd get all those players, but if we could get N'Zogbia, Johnson and Walker that'd be good.

[pedro25]

If Downing and Young go we will need 2 wingers bought in, N'Zogbia and 1 other, maybe Jarvis.  We couldn't rely on 2 for the whole season, would need a minimum 3.  I'd rather Dann than Johnson, Dann and Cuellar would be a good partnership imo.  Would like to see L Young back at right back and Warnock on the left.

[timeoutbigbar]

Surprised to see Nolan apparently having a medical at West Ham.  Thought he could have stayed in the PL with someone, but I suppose he wants to play under Fat Sam (lord knows why).

Forget about Warnock, he wants out no matter who the manager is, plus he's absolute gash.

A suggestion for a defensive midfielder - Angelo Palombo?
Mainly suggesting as he is a top class player on FM
I must admit, I havent seen much of Sampdoria this season (they were relegated I think), but whenever I have seen him in the past I have been impressed. He is the captain. Looks solid, takes a good free kick, good passer, all round perfect centre mid player.

Perhaps some of our overseas fans have a better idea of him?

Thing is, John, I want us to sign both those players but I think appointing McLeish lessens our chances of getting them. Blues will do anything not to sell those players to us after we've 'stolen' their manager and I can see them accepting a lower bid from someone else just to spite us.

Or our double agents will all return 

[timeoutbigbar]

We will need to replace however many wingers leave, because we can't afford to rely on Super Marc for 38 games next year, he still isn't ready imho.

[PaulWinch again]

Well judging on the impending appointment, we'll probably spend about £3million net and that's very little to go along way.
