Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Holte L2]

I'm still not convinced that Adebayor is required. Kozak looked reasonably good at Walsall - from the AVTV footage, admittedly - and with Ayew looking like a done deal, we have pace, variety and youth (Robinson, Sellars and Green) to work with up front.
My focus would be on one or two really good MF and another decent RB.

Really? I was there and I thought Kozak was awful. Admittedly he's only just returned but his finishing was awful. He's a target man and nothing more.
Adebayor can add all types of goals, individual skill too his game. Plus, we need options. We can't rely on just one centre forward.

Absolutely agree with the gents above,he would be an excellent signing along with Rudy Gestede.

Any player by the name of Rude Gesture out there?

I'm trying to figure out how that link has been faked. But so far it does look like their Twitter feed

He's valued T £500k on transfermarkt

I know he's a bit of a favourite on here and suffered a bad injury but I'm far from convinced by Kozak and think he looks really cumbersome. Id rather Adebayor with him as him back up.

From the very quick digging that i've done, he's a right back but can play anywhere across the defence and that does look like Cordoba's official twitter account.

Interesting, a right back as we know a position we need something. In his favour, he got Ronaldo sent off in January by getting in the way of the Madrid player's fist.

Out of nowhere seemingly.

Bacuna, Hutton, Amavi, Richardson, Bennett, Richards, Cissokho (probably leaving) and this fella all at fullback, so I wonder how we're arranging this.

According to Wiki he can play right-back or left-back. The page also says we were linked to him back in 2008. Would certainly seem to spell trouble fro Hutton.

And may I say, a damm fine spot from RusselC.

[Ormy Droid]

If it's true, it does seem a bit of a strange move, I mean it's not as if we're lacking in the shit full back department is it?

[Matt Collins]

Yeah I don't know how you spotted that!

I can't believe he's going to be first choice. He seems a bit of a journeyman and the ever reliable Fifa ratings have him at 67. That's joe Bennett level.

Ntep apparently not interested in signing for a non champs leage team.

[Matt Collins]

We were linked w him 8 years ago. Maybe our scouts think there's something in him others have missed (were any of our scouts here then?)

Does make you wonder about sherwood's influence on our signings. We're not getting a director of football but perhaps the club is adopting the same continuity approach

[LeeB]

can you loan 2 from the same club? Adebayor on anything other than a loan would be madness and a move I doubt Lerner would sanction

Arguably we could just take over Adebeyor's contract as he would be on a free after this season.  This would allow us to pick up another loan from elsewhere.

If there are negotiations going on, it's probably over a loan fee and whether we can get them to contribute towards his wages.

Don't know if it has already been mentioned but Swansea are being linked with him as a replacement for Gomis

If Gomis is available for £8m get him, and Adebayor.
