Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Toronto Villa]

I think we desperately need a goal scoring 'inside forward' type player.

Very much so. The thought of a Benteke injury and Gabby trying to fill that role or the inside forward type role scares me. He isn't clever enough to be that player and this might sound odd, but he's not quick enough either. Give Gabby space on the break or a channel to run into versus a defender he'll 8 or 9 times out of 10 win that race. But in tight spaces you need quickness in thought and action and he doesn't have it.

Same. 

Gil?

[GordonCowansisthegreatest]

Grealish, once he gets his first:-)

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Gil is that player for me. In yesterdays friendly Gil always wants the ball and can see a pass. And a run. His touch is natural and he has great balance. There has been massive speculation why Sherwood has not played him, but I am now hoping maybe through the guidance from Wilkins that he becomes a permanent first team member .....

[Toronto Villa]

Hoping that the fact that he started yesterday and played well is a sign of much things to come for Carles

Cherry looks ideal for that role to me, eye for goal, skillful, creative etc. For £4m it seems a pretty decent deal to me. Not a new kid on the block either.

If Chery has broken into the national squad, he can't be a bad player. How often do you get to sign a Dutch international for that sort of money? Vlaar aside!!

I do not see Gil or Grealish being 15 goals a season players.

In the league we need to be looking towards 50 goals.  Where are they going to come from?

Think Delph will play further forward next term and should chip in with more goals.

The addition of attacking wing backs like Bacuna and Amavi (or Kyle Walker, Ben Davies) should create a lot more chances too as opposed to Hutton and Cissokho.

Still need more quality up front though, Gabby will probably chip in with 5-8 goals. If Gil/Grealish/Nzogbia get 8 goals between them I will be surprised.

One things for sure, if we are considering any more players, get them signed up ASAP and get them involved in pre season sharpish.
Non of this pissing around crap with excuses afterwards because they have not got a pre season under there belts.
Do it now, left back, right back, centre back, striker.

I read that last bit as the end of the joke, 10 pence 20 pence 50 pence a pound.

6-a-side? Westwood as rush-back GK? It'll never catch on.

           Grealish                              Gil
                              Austin

Gil on the right, Grealish or Sinclair on the left.

[SoccerHQ]

That's what we should be playing in home games imo. Away from home more pace so Gabby, Sinclair and Bacuna will get starts that way.

It would help a lot if we had a midfielder capable of 5-10 goals so I still want another central midfielder signed who can actually get in the box.
