Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Matt Collins]

Cabeye? That would be stellar but I can't see it happening in a month of Sunday's

[Matt Collins]

Austin linked w Southampton today

I'm prepared to believe there are better options out there - more suited to the benteke role - but I don't know who the are to be honest. Would have to be from abroad I think

Yes, would be great, but, off to Crystal Palace by all accounts

It is pretty scary how much better they have been run than us last 5 years

You could be talking about virtually every club in the top flight apart from Newcastle and possibly Albion when you say that...

[silhillvilla]

If Austin goes saints that should free up Shane Long.

I wouldn't mind Townsend. He's like incredibly quick and while he might not be a top 7 or 8 player, he's certainly good enough to do a job from 12th up to that point, a position in the league we'd all find very comfortable for the near future.

I guess that may indicate we'd be going back to a 4-3-3, if there is any truth to it of course, which, there probably isn't.

[TaxDodger]

My main problem with Townsend is that Spurs would probably want about £15 million for him. Signing Spurs fringe players doesn't seem to work out in most cases. Also, he's clearly an out an out winger. I can't see him playing through the centre in the way Grealish and N'Zogbia have been, so I'm not sure how he is going to fit into Tim's 'our full backs give us our width' formula.

It'd stop the bugger repeatedly scoring against us.

If palace are in the running for cabeye then we should be

I can't believe that's true surely?!?

[tomd2103]

So from the players we've been linked with...

----------------------Benteke

------Grealish--------Delph-------Townsend-------

-------------Westwood------Cabaye-------------

More like:

                Cabaye            Delph

Townsend          Grealish               Sinclair

                          Benteke

[richard moore]

Going to take a lot more than Milner, I doubt Benteke would be puersuaded by the chance they might be in the champions league, Im sure he'd prefer to go somewhere where its guarenteed

He's not a bad player, Milner, but he's not really CL standard and I certainly wouldn't be worrying if I was one of the other top four or five teams and saw Liverpool signing him. He's fairly average by the standard knocking around in those teams

There were rumours last season that Palace had some serious money to spend this summer from new investors.

Haven't their new owners dropped out?

[pauliewalnuts]

I think Townsend would do well for us. Bums on seats player.

better than tonev or weimann out wide I suppose anyway

Talk about damning with faint praise .....
