Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

A packet of Monster Munch would do for me.

I'd accept a packet of Lidl's own-brand' Monster Claws'. I'm lead to believe that would be sufficient to trigger the release clause in his contract.

I think Austin is a decent finisher if you can create the chances for him. Certainly an upgrade on Weimann.

For breakfast? That's just filth

For an 18 year-old right-back, I can't think of a worse move that he could make, unless he wants to spend the next 3 years on loan at lower league clubs before being sold to Sunderland or Preston (depending on his progress).

If we do end up with 32.5M in our pocket I would hope we can do better than that lot (Januzaj being the exception).

[Hookeysmith]

This might sound like heresy but considering what TS did with Adebeyour then I wonder if he could unlock the enigma that is Balotelli 

[RussellC]

Sako's one that I  wouldn't mind on a free, depending on how much money there is to spend. I reckon he'd be an upgrade on N'Zogbia (as would I) in a similar role.

One downside would be that when the African Cup of nations comes round next we already face the prospect of Gueye being absent for a few weeks, so don't want too many player sin the same situation.

Hell no!

If Benteke does go it'll leave such a big and vital hole in our side that we can't afford gambles like Mario the Mad.  I'd rather we take say £20m of any fee and spend it on proven and dependable quality.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Moyes bidding £6m for Joel Campbell. If Benteke is off, that is a player I would be looking at for the price.

Exactly what I thought when I just read it on the BBC site.

[Tom_Mc9?]

Balotelli: maybe but cannot see it happening in a million years.
Joel Campbell: not instead of Benteke, but maybe.

[RussellC]

We've also got to be mindful that we've currently got too many players. By my reckoning we've got 27 players who would take-up a place in the 25-man squad, so we will need to shift a few more to accommodate any signings.

Cissokho looks to be a dead-cert to go but there doesn't appear to be many takers at present? Who else? Personally, I'd be looking to keep hold of Senderos unless there's another CB on the way in. Richardson surplus to requirements if Amavi signs? Steer out on loan with a youngster as 3rd choice keeper? Tim's certainly got some juggling to do over the next few weeks.

The manufacturing company who originally supplied Monster Munch to Walkers have clearly got a new marketing department as I've noticed re-badged Monster Munch turning up in a number of places recently.

Tesco do them, too, with the same three flavours.
