Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[PeterWithe]

Gestede would be good but why wouldn't we just go for Jordan Rhodes ?

Pal of mine, a Huddersfield ST holder described Rhodes as a poor mans Bent, a finisher who does nowt else.

Laughable isn't it? Got to be a wind up. Some sort of black country irony. Tell you what, let's pop in a £6m bid in for Berahino and see how that flies shall we?

If we sell Clark to the baggies I'll eat my own arse.

I really can't see where this is coming from.  Clark had a breakthrough year last season and I would have thought not only would he be a starter this season, but a credible candidate to be captain. 

[Clark W Griswold]

Because Gestede would provide a focal point for the likes of Ayew, Gabby, Sinclair, Gil and Grealish to work around, and Adebayor is useful in a 2 man attack too. Rhodes is not so much a focal point.

Yeah, i saw that link earlier to Gestede and liked the sound of it. Another one with promise. As long as we don't have to pay too much its definately worth a punt.

Alan Nixon (Journalist with the Sun - @reluctantnicko) is the one to follow on Twitter, says we are after Keeper, Right back, Midfielder and 3 strikers. Ayew and Adebayor 2 of them, Holgate the RB (says went to United on trial but not happening).

Oulare on the radar but need to get seniors in first and if there is enough money left then its a possibility.

Wasn't that the same lot who said theywere being sold to the richest man in China on the back of a Neil Moxley story that mentioned them being up for sale and his company buying into Athletico Madrid?

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

Would prefer if we put Richards at RB and aimed for a CB instead. Another midfielder instead of a goalkeeper too. Would be really pleased if we got 6 more in!

I would have thought 2 new strikers would be enough, and not totally sure we need a keeper. Would prefer a centre back, and maybe some sort of utility player that can cover several defencive positions, along with the RB, CM and 2 strikers. I still think we're really low on quality from a defensive point of view.
I'm not sure we had one defender that was consistantly good all season, and some were awful throughout.

Tell you what, give us 5m and Berahino and he is yours.

Why is he "the one to follow"? He's got a history going back many years of knowing absolutely nothing.

[Clark W Griswold]

Not sure i'd want him, tidy player but appears to have an attitude problem. Even though i'm not a massive Clark fan, i'd still like him here for another season to see if he can improve further.

[Steve67]

I'm sure I read somewhere today that we are linked with an £8m move for James Chester from Hull City Tigers. Not sure where though. Oh, and Baker to Burnley?

[adrenachrome]

As well as the Clark to WBA rumour, we now have Baker to Burnley. I suppose it makes sense to look at young central defenders who have proved themselves in the PL and who might not be automatic first picks.
