Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[exigo]

Teams like Swansea and Southampton have sailed past us by signing good up-and-coming players, who then move on for profit. This summer's links would rather suggest that Paddy O'Reilly could be the best signing we've made in a long time.

[paul_e]

19 year old from Club Brugge. He's only played a collective 12 games when you tot up his minutes, but he's scred 7 and set up 4. He's 6 foot 5 and heavier than Benteke too.

Is he Belgian or African, passport-wise?

Born in Belgium so either Belgian or dual-nationality.

For the Adebayor potential thing what i meant was if you put him in the team he can potentially win you a game, but he can also potentially look like a sulky man-child.  For me if we want someone who's going to be hit and miss like that I'd rather they were U21 and likely to develop consistency going forward, Adebayor has been moved on from some good clubs because he's proven incapable of doing that.

I think it was Trent on VT who implied Oulare is our top priority

[ozzjim]

Oulare and Adebayor would make a lot of sense. One for the future and one for now. Hopefully we can get both done quickly, get Darder in this week to and then l for a couple of exciting loans to to it up. Gnarby from Arsenal might be worth looking at. I would make Kyle walker a big target too personally.

There's no point signing Adebayor. Far easier for Randy to just sit at home in his kitchen, occasionally stuffing bundles of £50 notes in his aga.

Use the loan system wisely and it can be very productive - just like Everton have done.

Even likes of United,City and Chelsea have loaned players I don't really see the issue.Everton loaned 3 players that have all signed on permantly.If player like Barry was available for loan then it's worth doin a deal.We came 17th last season if loaning a player helps us get away from this constant pattern of relegation fights then why not ?

We have brought in 2 highly rated but untested players from France supplementing them with experienced loan players seems a good option to me.

Imagine if Tim decided to go for both Obbi Oulare and Breel Embolo to improve our option upfront. i think we can afford to do both assuming we make it work.

A force to be reckoned with then. I would think he would come a lot cheaper than Embolo as well. Why not buy them both and play one at centre half!

[eamonn]

How much is Oulare likely to cost? Surely they cant take the piss with regard to the fee given the small "sample size" of his games/performance record?

[ozzjim]

Reports reckon about 7m

[Gregorys Boy]

Adebayor will come in and start off quite strong, but after a two or three months will fade either because of injury, or because he can't be bothered or because he just doesn't have it to go a season insert your own excuse here.  He'll be cheap at least, but I think we should look elsewhere.

[Ron Manager]

Just had a look on You Tube and he is very good in the air. Perhaps we should chance it.

I think I watched the same video you did and he does look very Benteke like in the air. There was also a few fancy back heels thrown in as well which only confident players tend to do.

[footyskillz]

Borini and lambert would be good to bring in.  Not sure Naismith Everton situation but he could come in for weimann also pienarr is a player I rate and getable . Strikers and Bamford or Remy wouuld be good addition. Take matt Philips and  and maybe a Townsend or even Ashley young back -if pedro goes then that's pretty decent.

I don't know - I think we should remember that Adebayor is very good player and that he's looked as focussed and effective as he ever has done while playing under Sherwood. That easily makes him worth signing, in my opinion, with the proviso that doing so wouldn't impact massively on other signings. I don't think it would.

It might not happen, of course, but if it did then I think we'd get goals out of him.
