Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[villadelph]

Gil, Grealish and Sinclair will fight it out for number 10 and 11 positions week in week out next season.

I'd quite like that. I see someone saying if Gil ups his work rate he can get in the squad.. but seriously, if Charlie N'Zogbia can get week-in/week-out football that Gil should at least be given a bit longer to succeed. He could be fantastic for us going forward.

That's the point though Sherwood has seen N'Zogbia up his rate in training and is getting his chance. Gil needs to do the same in training to get his chance. If he's not then he's being left out. Sherwood doesn't come across as a vindictive manager but just wants those that are all chomping at the bit to make the starting eleven. You do that, you have a chance. You don't you're out.

I don't think he's going to sign Sinclair.

[Dante Lavelli]

At the prices quoted we would be mad not to, unless that is where he is planning his marquee signing.

Gary Rowett comments on future of Tottenham, Aston Villa-linked Demarai Gray

http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2015/05/14/gary-rowett-comments-on-future-of-tottenham-aston-villa-linked-d/

The Birmingham winger has been linked with summer moves to Tottenham and Aston Villa.

Speaking to the Birmingham Mail, Gary Rowett has played down the chances that Demarai Gray will be a Blues player next season, despite heavy interest from a wealth of Premier League clubs.

He said: “It would have to be a sizeable bid, [but] it would [also] have to be Demarai wanting to leave and it would have to be right for everybody. He has got a year left on his contract, he is under 24 anyway by a long way, so therefore there are compensation issues.

“And as far as I am concerned he is our player and I am really looking forward to working with him next year because I think if we can keep him for next year. I think he is enjoying his football, he is living at home, he is comfortable and for me that’s a big thing for a young player.”

Rowett certainly sounds confident that Gray will be turning out at St Andrew’s next season, despite the fact that the Daily Mail and Goal have named the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham, Aston Villa and West Ham as keen trackers of the 18-year-old wonderkid.

Gray has truly burst onto the scene this term, and the English youth international is considered one of the best talents outside of the Premier League, despite his young age.

He has been called up to the England Under-21 squad for post-season action, and after his six goals in 41 games, it is hard to deny that he desires it.

Gray is a tricky winger who has an eye for goal and an incredible work rate on top of that. Birmingham may have endured a rather mediocre season, but the breakthrough of the youngster has given a lot to shout about.

He still has a year left on his contract, and Rowett believes Birmingham have no need to sell their starlet this summer, meaning that all the clubs interested in him should be disappointed, as their chances of signing Gray look to have diminished.

Is he any good?

No. Not until he leaves them anyway.

First time I've actually seen us linked with him.

He's a decent player but reminds me of Nathan Redmond who many on here were saying we should get at all costs...went to Norwich and he's been nothing special there, in and out of their team even this season.

Bournemouth would probably be the best move for him.

Four new players at the back please

[curiousorange]

Can we buy Shane Long and never play him please? Hate that fucker with a vengeance.

[Rudy65]

I feel a bit bad for the Tigers. Probably the last thing they want right now is a scandal like that.

Bet you dont feel bad now!

Was just gonna suggest the same thing. Anything so that he won't play against us ever again. Bang average until he's up against us, and then all of a sudden he's Van fucking Basten.

Too bloody right.

Happily we can sit back and enjoy the last day now. The idea of Bruce & Big Sam somehow conspiring to relegate Newcastle is the fairytale ending. Surely everyone in football would want that!

Sherwood was unfair with lamela and eriksen at spurs and feel gil will go the same way and not be part of any plans. Sherwood selects nzogbua as he's proverb at premier league level. In general the  players have to buy into Tims ways and how he sees it. Gil is an artist and dare I say it as good as grealish but being a Lambert signing gil been shown as an easy scapegoat. Expect Sherwood's signings and linked to the similar sort of try hard and endevaour players rather than a Spain, Argentine or Brazilian.
