Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[VILLA MOLE]

I don't think we need to worry about signing Townsend anyway, we'll have Tonev back this season won't we?

phew 

[RussellC]

There are some reports that Ludogorets are interested in taking Tonev from us. Imagine if we actually got some money for him! 'Scenes', as all the kids seem to be saying at the moment.

Oh no I hope they don't make an offer that's just too good to turn down after displaying his superb shooting accuracy at Villa and Celtic.

Let's just hope Ludogorets don't have any black players.

Tonev, Luna, Sylla... Form an orderly queue, prospective buyers.

For ref, what does ''scenes'' mean? Is it like ''sick''?

Ironically I think we'll shift them long before we mug someone off with Insomnia.

What is the point of the summer transfer window start date? Just open it when that seasons games have finished

phew 

...is the sound of Tonev's shot passing by your head at the corner flag.

Good point about Phillips too. Townsend would cost about double so I know where I'd be looking

You'd take a guy who can't get a look in for Scotland ahead of a regular England international? I support Scotland, but that still seems skewed logic.

The likes of Jordan Rhodes and Ross McCormack cant get a look in with Scotland either, McArthur could only get on as a late sub against Ireland. Strachan is getting good results but there are quite a few good players not in your side at the moment (Fletcher, Adam too).

Wouldnt use it against Matt Phillips

I also have to say, Townsend as well as Richards would suggest we're looking at cornering that "loads of energy but a bit brainless with the ball, loads of passion English player" area of the market.

Which suggests not having learned the lessons of years gone by.

agree 100%, include Huddestone in that too (minus the energy) and Sinclair (minus the passion)

I am trying to work up some sense of excitement about the rumoured signings.


No sorry its not happening........

Coming from you, that's high praise indeed.

Richards has bags of energy, but I don't think I've ever heard him described as good on the ball. Or seen much evidence of it. In fact, if you look at the blue moon thread someone posted here the other day, you'll see even the Man City fans who love him describing him that way.

As for Townsend, it's at least comforting that, given that we'll probably never see Tonev's shots going into row Z any more, we've got an option to replace him with someone almost as wayward of shot as he was.

[Matt Collins]

Matt Phillips got 3 goals and 8 assists, Townsend 2 and 2. Phillips played more games but he was in a much worse team

I'm not saying he's a better player but as I say I reckon he'd be half the price.

It obviously depends how much money we've got and I'd rather et better than either.
