Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[pauliewalnuts]

^^^^ Good. Frankly.

Talking of rubbish left backs, where is Joe Bennett? Is he actually training with the squad?

[FatSam]

It might have been mentioned earlier, but we are being linked to the ex-West Ham player Diamantini. I can't believe that we would be going after him, what with having Cole and Grealish performing a similar role in the squad already. 

[Diablo]

An ex Stoke player thinks they could finish fourth or fifth this season.

Mark Hughes is doing a grand job there by all accounts. Credit where credit is due.

He is doing well there no doubt but they are not going to finish above 7th or 8th at the very, very best.

I agree I can't see them getting 4th or 5th (7th or 8th would be a great job and improvement on their two 9th places) but if they keep getting ex Barcelona players who knows?

[Toronto Villa]

Good luck to Aly. He just isn't up to the standards of a full back that can also come forward with the ball and cross. In fact he's a complete liability when he does that. That said if Porto use him as defensive full back he might do ok.

I'm not even sure of that, to be honest, his positioning always looked somewhat iffy to me. Hope it works out for him, glad he is being moved on.

I do hope that if the Barca kid does not come off, another player of his type is targeted before the close of the window. That player that can create from out wide with Gestede, Kozak and possibly Adebayor makes perfect sense.

I loved the quote from Wilkins about the knowledge that Sherwood has of players around the world today. Gives me a bit of comfort that finally the management team have got a clue about footballers outside of the UK.

I think he'll do ok. Plus if you think about it he can't be as bad as we often saw considering the clubs he's played for. It's a pretty impressive list all considering. Even has one French cap

*shocked face*

I was surprised to see he's already spent a season at Porto.

And stil they want him back.

[Toronto Villa]

Apparently we have made an approach for Alessandro Diamanti. At least according to the Metro we have.

[silhillvilla]

Ally cissoko must be the model journeyman pro. He must be made of tough stuff, turfed from one club to another .
Poor LB at PL level , poor signing, glad he's gone,

He was good enough there for Lyon to shell out 15 million euros. IIRC, he got talked up after a brilliant performance at Old Trafford for Porto in the CL

[ciggiesnbeer]

I still don't think Aly was THAT bad. Particularly when you consider what went before. Amavi looks a class above for sure though.

Its a season-long loan, and I don't think he'll cut it over there either. He still has three years on his contract, I believe?

He'll be doing a Delph at Porto. Do you really think he'd make their first XI? Not a chance.

[Matt Collins]

He's a bit of a donkey but I'd have played him at times last year. He certainly wouldn't have cost us two points in the QPR game like Richardson did
