Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[ciggiesnbeer]

To be fair, I have no idea whether this is a good window or not.

I've never heard of any of the players we have signed (but then I'm not as 'world of football' as I used to be), they've come from a lower standard league and Adebayor seems a bit Pires-Cole-Ginola (but could be a Merson).

I think we will have done enough to stay up, I hope we may do slightly better and it is certainly exciting stuff.

Yeah its weird I go back and forth how good a window we are having. The major positive though is we have broken up a losing team. Benteke is a loss but even with him this team looked like they were relegation bound. The more change the better I think.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Realistically, I reckon Veretout, another striker (Gestede?) and perhaps a keeper and the'll be it.  Which would be superb business IMO.

Agreed, Desmond.

Agreed. A full changing of the guard like Brian Little's first summer.

The look on Tim Sherwood's face at Wembley in May should have told us what to expect in the transfer window.   I hoped this was coming but did not dare believe it.   I don't mean instant top four, I mean a complete purge and a new beginning.

It's clear Sherwood likes a high tempo pacey team and for that reason I'm excited by who he is looking to get in. I also think Gabby will fit in perfectly.

[cheltenhamlion]

It could still turn to shit, Brian, but it does render some hope. And it is the hope that breaks us in the end!

That is why I was such a busted flush after the cup final. I dared to dream again.

[Summers]

A potential midfield three of Gueye - Darder - Veretout would be a huge improvement.

[cheltenhamlion]

Compared to a triumvirate of Gardner/Westwood/Bacuna it would be orgasmic...

I wonder how things would have turned out if, don't laugh, we'd somehow won that day?  The squad still needed gutting and I'm fairly sure that neither Benteke or The Snake would have stuck around.

[ciggiesnbeer]

I would be delighted to have too many quality midfielders for spots. It has been one of my complaints for a while. I think Sanchez, & Westwood can definitely force themselves into contention, I would be happy for Sherwood to have that problem.

[brian green]

I think if I had not bumped into DW on the platform after the cup final a big part of me would have jumped under a train.

[Toronto Villa]

Hopefully having genuine competition ups the level of the other players that survive the cull. The drop off from say Delph and Benteke was too large. We need to have options that if one falls the replacement is every bit as good.

[Steve67]

I wholeheartedly agree. Pace and power there.

[cheltenhamlion]

I couldn't countenance talking to anyone after. I had to be physically restrained at one point from introducing some hipster Arsenal twat to the live rail.

Anyway, that day didn't happen. Just like the last FA Cup final I went to didn't either.

There's revolution in the air.
