Transfer Speculation / Gossip

Newcastle to let Dan Gosling go.....


Deja vue !

I like Weimann. He struggled this season but in fairness most of them did. He's one i'd be keeping hold of because i think he'll get better as he gets older.

[Ron Manager]

I would imagine that we won't be selling or buying anybody until the ownership situation is sorted.

I would agree. After all that would be stupid in the extreme.

[The Left Side]

According to the OS afternoon media update we are after another left back, the one from Ipswich we wanted last year.

Cresswell? We get linked with him every summer. He must be in his late 30's now.

West Ham being linked with him too. Can't see it happening to be honest. It would seem that the constant links probably mean he was the first choice and we've kind of settled for Bennett and then Luna (to disastrous effect in both cases). Perhaps we should have coughed up what Ipswich wanted in the first place. Of course whether he's that much better is another matter.

Lambert won't make another signing here IMO. I think he'll be gone.

Aparrently Weimann was getting abused on twitter the other night, I don't agree with that myself but I reckon we'd get £4-£5m for him at best

That's not right at all, but I hope he has a mature reaction to it. He did himself no favours with his goal celebration the other week.

I'd be giving Luna another run if Bertrand doesn't come back or if any potential new manager wants his own choice..

Read in one paper at the weekend that West Ham are lining up a £1.5m bid for him.  Didn't Ipswich want something like £6m a couple of years ago?

I'd prefer Neil Taylor from Swansea.

We'd have to accept that none of our full-backs can defend and try and find a formation where they are pushed further forward.

It'd be a pretty brave decision, whatever the circumstances.

I think the manager has recently, hence 3 centre halves, problem is that means the chuckle brothers alongside Vlaar, and their defending is not much more cop than the full backs.

Defenders who can't defend. Midfielders who can't pass and strikers who can't score. Paul Lamberts recipe for success.

A back 3 of Okore, Vlaar and Lescott would be a much happier recipe I think!

Indeed.
