Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

Ndoye looks a decent striker in fairness. Him and Austin might well make a good pairing to. Tim will look to go to 4-4-2 at some point I am sure with a diamond with Grealish at the top.

The diamond was working well so I think he'll go back to that too as a preferred formation. We haven't look anything as effective with this two "number 10" system. It seems to restrict Grealish, offers no real width and N'Zog simply isn't mobile/effective/creative enough in that role.

A midfield diamond requires very disciplined attacking full backs to provide width as well as a defensive midfielder who is prepared to cover at full back when one if them goes forward.

Going by Sherwood's comments, he wants to have multiple ways of being able to set-up the team. He needs that too, we've become so predictable in the last few weeks.

[Toronto Villa]

That's fine by me. We should be able to go into any game with a plan for that opponent. That's how the squad should be used.

Only 5 short weeks before the players report back for pre-season training on 6th July. This close season is too short to complete all that needs to be done. Fox or whoever needs to get a move on with TS' shopping list. None or little time for management to take a break. Little time for injured players to fully recover. Then has TS got the right people in the key assistants and coaching roles. Time will tell.

Does that Times article today suggest which players Sherwood told to look for a new club?

[Smoke]

from what Sherwoods said it's clear atleast one of the people who's out of contract this summer will not be getting an extension.

Who's contracts are up?

Vlaar
Cleverley
?

Linked to James Chester and Callum Wilson this am. Chester seems a decent defender and Wilson a very good prospect up front but would cost a fair bit.

I can't for the life of me seeing Bournemouth selling anybody they want to keep in a hurry.

Having seen him play for Wales quite a few times, James Chester is a good player.  My one concern would be that he is not the physically dominant centre half we need, but he is a good defender and is comfortable on the ball.  I would say that he is a similar player to Clark, but possibly better.  I can't really see Wilson leaving Bournemouth, but I think he is from the West Midlands and might fancy a move back home.

I will be most annoyed if Carles Gil is one of the players told to leave......I can see him ending up at a rival club and haunting us over the coming seasons.

[ozzjim]

Me too. My old man said this am someone like Swansea will have him for 3 million and he will be a star. Sherwoods disguarding of him worries me more than his tactics to be honest.
