Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Malandro]

We've apparently bid for Ajax's Danish left back Boilesen.

Thumbs up for Scandinavian defenders.

Not all of them are Kent Nielsen clones 😃

There's one paper running the story over here (Ekstra Bladet). Apparently we've bid around £1.5M and Ajax want £2.0M.

Not seen too much of him as he's played in Holland since 2011 - picked up by Ajax straight from Brøndby's youth team. From what I've see of him playing for Denmark, he's technically sound, but I'd worry about him with the pace of the PL.

Depending on who's version you believe, either he's on his way out because they've bought Heitinga, or they've bought Heitinga because he turned down a new contract of €1M (Ajax's max under their wage structure ) as he thought he was worth more.

There a few comments around, that if one of the reasons we're looking to replace Cissokho because of his injury record (as reported here) we're betting on the wrong horse.

I think we're just looking to replace Cissokho for footballing reasons, rather than his injury record.

Not sure about this guy to be honest, but I would be happy with either Robertson or Amavi. Failing that I quite like George Friend at Boro.

Three minutes of YouTube footage suggest he's quite quick, as he manages to motor past his opposing full back and winger.

He's a big lad height wise too and seems pretty good on the ball and going forwards. I even saw him make a few tackles.

He can't be too much a of a Luna if he plays for Ajax and it would appear his injury record is the only concerning factor.

The last big blond Dane we had was worth it.

[passitsideways]

He was good on both FIFA and FM for me, which is more than what you can say about Luna, so sign him up.

Looks like Begovich to Chelski is done?

Guidetti the swedish u21 player (man city / feynoord / celtic and stoke) is out of contract would be an interesting option.  He is clearly a limited footballer but he is very good at what he can do.  As an understudy to Benteke he could be an interesting proposition and crucially is likely to improve.

...and cheap.

I think the number of clubs he has got through already probably speaks volumes.

but they're all loans so it's not really relevant.

[garyshawsknee]

Means no one wants him.

It means man City do not want him, however I'd guess Feyenoord (20 goals in 23) and Celtic (15 in 35) probably would. 
He'd definitely be a risk but could be a good player.  I reckon he'll ask stupid wages though as a few years ago he was one of europe's top prospects.

[pauliewalnuts]

There has been quite a lot said elsewhere about Guidetti's attitude.

He's - apparently - got interesting "refuelling" routines.

[paul_e]

He's also a pretty decent guy - http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jun/30/john-guidetti-sweden-football-mr-nice-guy

I've seen very little of him and no idea if he's worth looking at so this is nothing more than pointing out that's there's more sides to him than a few posters have presented at various times on here.

I was not aware of that (whatever it may be).
