Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

That's enough now. If foccacia doing it again there'll be trouble!

Yeah, he'll ciabatta you.

To be honest I really hate the punathons.  But I have to applaud these two.

[Mister E]

Bunn: a bread-and-butter sort of player. He'll get on well with Wilkins, our roly-poly assistant manager.

[Clampy]

These puns are getting on my firkin nerves.

Given's passed a medical at Stoke.

Wish him all the Best of Both.

I see nzonzi went to Seville too

[Malandro]

Irish international for many years, Bunn has big choux to fill

I wonder how much of Givens wages we have contributed to?

I would hope not alot as we still have to employ another keeper with wages .

I suppose it depends how much Bunn has cost to see if it was worth doing ?

What amazes me about Sherwood so far is the seeming ease of which he's managing to shift a lot of our deadwood. He's not mucking around.
The whole Lambert bomb squad debacle just makes no sense. I mean honestly, would it have really been that difficult to shift some of those players on a permanent move? Why did we keep Hutton, Bent and Given when they weren't wanted? Had we cut our losses we could have freed up wages 1-2 years ago. And loaning out most of his second season signings at the beginning of this season? I think we should have been turfing out the majority on permanent if possible.

Now granted Lambert may have tried, or he may have foolishly deemed that loaning them out temporarily would be the best course of action in case they could yet turn good. As with everything Lambert did though, it seemed he made a dogs dinner out of it.

However I'm enjoying the fact that Sherwood seems very pro-active. He seems to have clearly identified who isn't good enough, who is on too much money for what they will give us, and from our transfer links, it seems he wants a better class of player in.
Now if he can chuck N'Zogbia out on the curb the man is a genius.

I'd imagine it has a lot to do with the players being much more willing to leave when they only have one year of secured pay left.

When he gets Agbonlahor out of the place that is when he should have a genius rating.

As far as Lambert criticism goes, his inability to sell players is a stretch.

[Malandro]

Agree. Shit and high wages = no takers

[villadelph]

So what's going on with Guidetti? Is he a Bosman? Just saw he is negotiating a deal a Vigo after being released..?

[gervilla]

Apparently Tony Moon has had his contact cancelled.
