Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[Richard E]

What I really want to know is whether this Sanchez guy is any good as a left back. We haven't got nearly enough of those. 

[KevinGage]

If Sanchez comes in I hope it means we never see the Westwood/KEA combination ever again. One of them maybe but when the two play together it's shocking. Much like Clark & Baker.

Being a greedyguts, perhaps, but if we sign Sanchez I'd still like to see us sign at least one other CM and maybe one on loan.  Holtby, or similar.  I'd be quite happy if Westwood and KEA didn't even make the bench. 

Though in the case of Westwood, he is still young enough to improve.  Particularly if he is coming in for the odd game with less pressure on him - and with better players around him.

Hope he managed to sleep alright at the Malmaison with all that redevelopment work going on at The Mailbox.

I'm greedy too, I want Sanchez, Ki, Holtby and Gnabry now.

Brum Mail reporting same as Sun now, snag hit due to 3rd party ownership complications.

which might have been the case. If indeed he has come in for a medical then those details are likely being ironed out. It's not like we walked away as was initially being suggested in The Sun.

The Mail story was from last night.

Am I the only one wondering what IJFGTBF is but doesn't want to ask in case it's obvious?

I think I know it but... I just fucking guessed to be honest

Winner winner, chicken dinner (well close enough I Just Fucking Guessed To Be Fair.

I have guessed twice in a row now, so I actual think guessing is an unfair description of my clear ability to predict the future.

Gnarbry looked good against us at VP.  But then so did Sidwell.

I don't know why I saw a H instead of an F at the end, tbh is clearly a term I see far too often

For the last three years, so has almost everyone.

[Clark W Griswold]

Me too to be honest.

[Loxton01]

I think it looks pretty nailed on with Skysport sources now reporting as opposed to just paper talk.

A signing weve needed for a long time. Westwood KEA etc have rested on their laurels for so long playing one good three bad games etc we need competition for places.

Lets hope this guy improves the team.

We defianetly seem to be trying to add experience as opposed to youth as we all demanded on a shoe string.

Think defensively we look more solid lets hope we keep Vlaar. If we do id sell clark as he's had his chance.

Midfield if this guy sits and protects it allows the likes of delph to attack and get into the box much more.

Gabby for me can go. He doesnt produce time and time again.

With the additions we seem to have extra strength in depth.

Id love us to chance our arm and get a couple of players in on loan who are out of favour at there clubs the likes of Guidetti, Moses, Ben Arfa, Holtby, Zaha

To me players who can go are

Gabby, Clark, Herd, Bennett, Lowton [Shame but clearly out of favour]

[Clark W Griswold]

I'd keep Gabby and Lowton for now, but agree the others are a bit pointless. Mind you, I'd get rid of Baker before any of them.

[Hoppo]

Maybe we should keep players now. Strength in depth has been lacking for years. Well done Lambert on the summers business.
