Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

That Rolan would appear to be tailor made for the Premier League with his style. Would be a replacement for Gabby it would seem and he looks a cut above Townsend too.

If we got him in, Adebayor on loan and a young 'un, I think we will have done well to add quality up front. You're never going to replace Benteke like for like, but if we add two or three players who can contribute, that will be in my view a positive increase, as we've been a one man outfit for too long.

Sinclair, Adebayor/Kozak/Young 'un, with Rolan on the other side works well with me. Can add variety by playing both Gil and Grealish. Plenty of pace and guile in there.

As for the midfield, Cambiasso makes a lot of sense. I'd like to see another one brought in also on top of that, but the extra knowhow he could give the likes of Westwood et al may really bring their own games on.

A busy couple of weeks. It's very important Reily and Sherwood get it right. Reily's Tour De France indicates these targets have been well scouted mind.

I know were used to flirting with disaster, but I can't believe we don't have a couple of deals at least, ready to go;  as you say, a very interesting couple of weeks ahead.

I agree wholeheartedly that we have been a one man outfit for too long.   Perverse though it may sound I think we will be less bad without Christian. With the right signings obviously.

[Ron Manager]

Very pleased  with Amavi would  hope Sherwood is considering a class act
like Cambiasso for a further improvement to the team.

[Matt Collins]

Cambiasso would make sense for so many reasons

Worried about the lack of  experience and leadership in the current squad.  Who are the big characters? We've lost our captain, our previous captain and our talisman.

Ashley Young only has a a year left on his contract so would probably be available relatively cheap. He'd improve us massively.

I'd be very happy with that.

[bertlambshank]

Not with his wages.

I agree Brian. You used to dread games when CB wasn't playing and the thought of him being out for a stretch of time, particularly when fighting relegation, was almost unbearable. I didn't want to see him go but it does feel like the end of an era, and an awful one at that, not that it was CB's fault in any way

Only way Young would happen is if he had enough of an affinity for us to take a cut down to 70k or so a week and the opportunity to be a top dog again. As it is, while he generally gave his all for us (except for a few occasions in his final season), I really doubt that is the case, and if he leaves United, it'll be to the highest bidder among the mid-table sides, who I'd prefer and expect not to be us. Would solve our right-sided problem very handily though, even though he's better on the left.

I suspect that of the really big earners, there's only Gabby left.

I wish we could move Gabby on. Last night's friendly was a great demonstration of how utterly mediocre he is.

He also looked a bit overweight to me. Like we had Alexander O'Neal up front.

I dont think he has any affinity for us at all

Love him back though

[Rudy65]

The club now needs a massive lift.

Tonev scored tonight ffs, what more do you want

Bloody hell. In the net you mean, not out the ground!

Anyone know how he has been playing?

TS is obviously giving him a chance.

[Walmley_Villa]

Well with Benteke now gone and thanks five the memories..... It is quite a predicMent for Randy and co. No apparent takeover in the offing so what will he do? Piss the fans off by not reinvesting the money or disappearing back to the states with bags of cash. Interesting.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Tonev scored for us? I hadn't realised that.

Was he taking the goal kicks?
