Transfer Speculation / Gossip

I would have Yacob or Mulumbu.

I've never rated Mulumbu at all. That said, we do need someone of his ilk in the middle, someone who can break up play and let Delph get a bit further forward.

I would have Yacob or Mulumbu.

Sorry.  That wasn't directed at anyone in particular.

Yacob is an interesting one.  Sort of player we need.  Didn't he have a very good start at the Albion before going off the boil a bit?

[Holte L2]

We should tap into the pool of unwanted at Man Yanited.
Kagawa on-loan would be perfect. Finances permitting.
Sandro at Spurs also appears to be surplus to requirements. Another loan there, with a little help from Spurs financially would do.
Granted we'd need a little help from these clubs RE salaries.

I agree with you about tapping into the loan market, but think the likes of Kagawa and Sandro will be out of our reach. Now is the time that these deal wil happen too. The top teams will have wanted to keep their squads together for pre-season but will now know which players they're prepared to loan out.

I'd like us to try to get Joel Campbell from Arsenal. Can't see him playing much with Walcott, Sanchez and The Ox all similar players and I could see him having a major impact for us.

[Tuco Salamanca]

Cissokho is utter muck. I'd rather Richardson there, no doubt.

Lambert really cannot spot a full-back.

I would have both to be honest.  Mulumbu and Delph playing either side of Yacob would be a significant upgrade on what we currently have.

I thought you had all gone mad then realised I was confusing Yacob with Lugano who has always been totally crap whenever I have seen him for them.

How old is Yacob?  Seems to have been around forever but that might just be me.  He of course does know the league well, and if he still has his sharpness then he could be a solid short term buy.

He's 27 and according to Sky sports they would let him go for 5m

Now that would be a good deal!

Game over then.

If we have £10 million to spend then £1.75 on Cissokho, £5 million on Yacob leaves room for a loan fee or an attacking player or two.

[Gregorys Boy]

If we only have ten to spend, the only issue I have with using half of it on Yacob is that I still don't think that a striker is our top perity, so if it meant spending less elsewhere I'm not sure.   How odd that 5 mil suddenly seems a lot of money to us...

Yacob is a defensive midfielder.

Knowing them, they would want £10m from us.  From what I remember, he had a good first season there, but has had injury problems since.
