Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[PeterWithe]

Not exactly prolific but can only be an upgrade on the likes of Weimann and Tonev. For all Sherwood's talk about Gil and number tens looks like we will be going with three up top next season. Gabby, Sinclair, Ayew, Gil and Grealish for two positions supporting a new striker.

Would welcome Ashley Young back with open arms but not sure we need further options out wide unless we can shift Gabby. Hope this puts an end to any Andros Townsend rumours.

Disappointed not to see us linked further with Kyle walker, would be ideal for us. Sherwood had him in midfield for a bit at Spurs so may not rate him. Dembele would be ideal for us too as a replacement for Delph.

Swansea play with a number 10 as part of a three man midfield. We have the box-to-box in Gueye and also the 10's sorted in Jack and Gil, its an upgrade on the holding player we need.

I think Sanchez will be much better this year, he's already shown flashes and with a little time to get used to the pace I think he will be a big influence, right up to the time he decides he's too good for us and fucks off to Southampton or suchlike.

Gestede, Ayew and Cambiasso are all better than we have at the moment. Adebayor on loan to would give us 3 forward options that are all more of a goal threat than Gabby. I think Kozak is to risky after 18 months out to expect anything from.

I think that's a solid set of players who should see us clear of a relegation battle - we can't expect to attract top notch players yet, so a season of mid-table should open more doors next season.

I thought I'd ask this in here as he is synonymous with deadline day.

Now I know most of us think Jim White is a c**t (this due to the fact he is a c**t, unequivocally) but does anyone actually ... like him? Even just a little bit? I know absolutely no one who likes him in the slightest yet he seems to be Sky's main man so surely some people must like him.

Anyone to stick their head above the parapet? You will not be judged*

*You will be judged

Head above parapet... Definitely a fan of him. I'm not totally convinced by transfer deadline day and the way he is turned into a bit of a celebrity though. Also, having met him and spent a reasonable amount of time with him, I can also legitimately say that he is a really nice bloke as well so not sure why anyone would dislike him other than for his association with, what most on here seem to think is the Devil incarnate, Sky.

Bold move. You are officially the first person I know of who likes him. As you have met him that puts you in a better position to judge. For me Sky hasn't helped, however I find him incredibly irritating. That wouldn't change no matter where he was.

I think Jim does like us, he did the kit launch presentation and would have trousered some Villa shillings for it no doubt.

The thing is, there's the guy that he is outside of Sky and then there's the guy that Sky have built him up to be, which he plays into to earn a living. He annoys me on SSN but if you had never watched Sky and met him, you may find he's a good guy. I've not met him so I have no idea.

Pat Murphy says West Brom are after Ciaran Clarke. Can anyone see this happening? I think we need to keep hold.

They can go swivel.

This. We'd be mad to sell him, especially to them. Hope a new contract is sorted a.s.a.p.

I was being serious.

If we sign Ayew and also get Adebayor done early next week then that will be 5 first team players signed before August 1st. Sinclair is a squad player.

When was the last time we achieved that so early in a transfer window, certainly not in the MON era and last year signing early mugs like Senderos and Joe Cole dosen't count.

Despite all the doom and gloom we are signing first team players for decent fees so we're not just sleepwalking towards relegation as has seemed the case in previous summer transfer windows.
