Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Kevin_Brum12]

When we play only one way to Benteke I wonder if selling him forces us to play another way? Do we take the £35m or whatever it is or will Sherwood realize that crossing to Benteke exclusively is such a limited strategy?

Given the mess we are in I think I would take the £35 million and use it to strengthen the squad, although to get to the higher levels of the league that is chicken feed.  However, given the performance today and the last few games would anyone want to pay £35 million for him?

Depends who his replacement is, if it's Charlie Austin he scores a lot from crosses aswell.

We need more creativity and pace all over the pitch. Look at the difference to when we broke today to Arsenal, our player was so static and pedestrian. We're not a good counter attacking team anymore, at least against decent teams.

As good as the middle trio have done in recent months, they'll be games when we need a lot more creatvity from the centre of the pitch. Grealish can't do it all on his own and to me it would be a waste if we let Gil go.

If/when Benteke goes there's obviously going to be a big reaction to it. I won't like it either but there's a big job to be done this summer. Even if Austin was his replacement, there would still be £20m + whatever is already available to spend on the rest of the squad. We need to sort the defence out and ensure that there's enough creativity and goals in the side that we don't become a tactic team.

Didier Drogba = Winner
1 last season before he bows out.

Its players with premier league and big game experience that are needed.

Full backs Micah Richards and Glenn Johnson
Defenders - Jonny Evans Younes Kaboul
Midfielders -Nigel De Jong  Rafael Van der vaart both out of contract free
Strikers Javier Hernandez , Ings and Drogba


If we sold Benteke then buy Ings, Hernandez ,Obi Mikel,  Matt Phillips, Sigurdsson, Walters,George Boyd, Charlie Adam and Kevin Nolan to add to midfield as all offer proven goal threat boost.

Wow, you've excelled yourself there.

Possibly even better than Altidore, Spearing and Jason Scotland from previous summers.

Will you please stop talking fucking bollocks

[OCD]

Yes, we should just click our fingers and our transfer business will be done just like that. It's so easy I don't know why nobody thought of it before.

I think you've sorted it! The good thing is that it won't be very difficult to sign any of them either, I could at least two or three of them here within the next month or so

Genuinely, are you on a wind up or something?

What a mix of the totally unrealistic and utterly fucking shit that is

Jonny Evans? Glen Johnson? The poster boy of Liverpool's decline? The one we last saw coming on and running around cluelessly against us in the semi final?

John Walters? Ings? The one Spurs are after, the one who will probably cost 15m? Mikel? With two years on his Chelsea contract, he's going to drop from 1st to 17th is he?

Javier Hernandez - the same one who has been on loan at Real Madrid? Don't you think he might have better options?

Kevin Fucking Nolan? The about to turn 33 Kevin Nolan?

[Chris Jameson]

I'd soon have any of the Nolan sisters and Didier Six

Jay Spearing is a great shout though. When I say he's a great shout I mean in comparison to your latest batshit crazy suggestions.

Why would there be 20mil, who said Tim would retain all that money, if any ?

[Arsey]

I'm guessing he meant 20mil left after buying Austin, which sounds about right.

[Steve67]

If Benteke goes, we need two new strikers. Kozak and Gabby will not be enough. Forget Wiemann, he's a goner.

The spine of the squad needs to improve. Keeper, centre back, defensive midfielder and a forward required. Two full backs would be a bonus too.

[Ad@m]

This may have already been covered but when Sherwood said he's told some senior players to look for new clubs who do we reckon he's talking about? Gabby, Vlaar, Hutton? Who else?

[mr underhill]

based on yesterday all of them
