Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[El Hurricane]

Have to agree OCD, Sherwood would look mighty stupid if he signs Berbatov and then a few matches in he's out for the season, a bit like Joe Cole really except he didn't have a major injury.

[KRS]

Having to play Sanchez at the back today surely has to be an indication that TS knows we desperately need to strengthen the CB options. Handing Baker a new 4 year contract doesn't fill me with confidence at all, and if the rumours that he'll be sent out on loan are true, then we need someone else. There should be finances available to bring someone in but not having a settled CB pairing at this stage is cause for concern.

Also a RB to compliment Amavi on the left would be more than welcome.

[OCD]

We do have a settled defensive pairing - Richards and Clark. Sanchez only came on as a sub.

[Toronto Villa]

I like the fact we have done so much business early on and we can now see how these lads settle in before making one or two final signings to cap things off. We might need 2 or 3 additions now at most. This lot will score goals and we still have some very decent players to come back in plus Gestede who didn't feature today.

Still would love a centre back so Baker gets no where near the team.

[Gareth]

Every last penny in the transfer bank should be spent on a commanding centre half and a right back. 

If the cash is there offer Stoke 10-12m for Shawcross - not a clue if it can be done or what the valuation is but one thing we have over Stoke is we actually get players into the England team.

Agree on the centre back but we should still for another striker rather than right back. Just the 2 more in.

Commanding centre half and right back

Chris Nicholl and john gidman it is then
If only
Utv

[Matt Collins]

I think he's told Richards he will play centre back

It's as much about the lack of organisation as the personnel I think. If Tony pulls spends hours and hours drilling his sides into defensive shape I suspect we're the opposite.

[Goldie.7]

We've conceded FIVE GOALS against Wolves & Forest! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know where our problems lie.

[cdbearsfan]

In hysterical fans getting themselves upset over friendlies?

[richl]

It's a friendly for fitness mainly

Not sure we have problems, strengthen the defence to make us competitive in the league....results in friendlies are irrelevant

[silhillvilla]

Don't think you can read too much into friendlies .
Bournemouth lost today and CiŁy got battered 0-4 .

[ozzjim]

I reckon we need a commanding centre half and a right back still. Plus a winger if we can pull one out of the bag.
