Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[OCD]

Everyone assumes there's no place for Gil because he's not been in the squad but neither has Sinclair. Sherwood has commented that he needs to bring in other players so that we can play in different styles that will allow him to use the likes of Sinclair. So it's not a foregone conclusion that Gil will be sold - it's really up to the lad to show the right attitude in training.

[Malandro]

I read someone saying he's heard
Cisshoko
Nzog
Agbonlahor
Weimann
Baker
Lowton
Bacuna
Herd
Stevens
Guzan
Senderos
Kozak

I'd be surprised if Bacuna is on that list. He may want to get rid of some dead wood but he can't replace everyone - Bacuna has versatility too.
In fact I'm sure that's rubbish.

Letting Agbonlahor go would be a big statement and I hope he does.

[mr underhill]

would agree with most on that list going with the exception of Kozak and Bacuna. didn't Gabby get a new 4 year deal when Lambert got his? Might prove tricky in that case to get rid but agree with those who think his time at VP is up, or should be.

[PaulWinch again]

All this talk of letting people go, regardless of who people think should go, how are we going to achieve this? We want rid of players because they've not been good enough, so I can hardly see anyone banging down the door to sign them. We can't afford to just pay players contracts up either. So other than the ones who are out of contract I don't see how we're going to clear the decks.

[villasjf]

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
?

DB9TT?

Herd

[OCD]

Of that list, I don't think he will let Gabby, Baker, Bacuna or Kozak leave.

Cissoko, N'Zogbia, Weimann, Lowton, Herd, Stevens, Guzan and Senderos are all likely to be going.

I think we should make them train with the under 8s and pretend they don't exist anymore.

If Kozak is struggling to get fit that one would make sense, would be a shame because I liked him as a player but up until 20 years ago that was a career ending injury so coming back was always going to be tough, add the complications and it's possible that the club just don't think he's got the desire to play at this level any more.

Bacuna would be the only one that I'd be surprised by but even he has developed a bad habit of stopping and trying to square his man up rather than trying to get round players with his pace which causes his corssing positions to be too deep more often than not which makes them easier for the keeper to deal with.

I think the promoted clubs would be keen on a few. Weimann to Watford from his time there previously for example, Bournemouth need some PL experience too, then top half Championship would be their level.

[footyskillz]

I'm sorry but letting out of 12 players AND replacing them is somewhat unrealistic. Especially as any continuity would be ruined. That list doesn't even include tonev or helenius which would make 14!!

[OzVilla]

Continuity. Most of them can't get a game as they're flippin useless.

If I had my way they'd be a damn sight more than 12 on their bikes.

[PaulWinch again]

Releasing vast swathes of players with little or nothing in return financially will ruin us. Obviously in theory it would be nice to get rid of the dross(if we could) and replace them with quality. But that requires two things, the first being that if they're under contract then somebody needs to want to sign them. The second being we'd actually need a lot of spending power. I can't see either of those things happening.

[ozzjim]

Ambitious but we could do with seeing 10 out and maybe 7 quality players come in.

[dekko]

I wouldn't be upset to see many of them go, but with money tight enough as it is, I can't see us being able to buy a whole new squad like we would if that list is correct.

[Gerrin]

I'd be very disappointed if he gets rid of Guzan, he's one of the best keepers in the Prem. Given is terrible, doesn't give the defence any confidence stuck on his line.
