Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[pauliewalnuts]

I'm worried where our goals are coming from.

We've lost our only proven source of goals and not replaced him.

Whatever the option after Adebayor was, I hope we are working on him.

[Dante Lavelli]

I like the way we appear to have 2-3 options in each area of the pitch now, but am a bit nervous about our lack of experience.

I would not be surprised if this is slightly by design as it means Sherwood's personality and Alpha Male status will not be compromised.
This is potentially a good thing because the younger players could really buy into his enthusiasm, whereas some older Collins/Dunne type characters would - rightly - question his boundless enthusiasm.

Hmmm. So all gone very quiet

After last week's mad transfer frenzy, i'm not surprised.

Come on PW, surely we've seen enough in this window from Tim to suggest he's on it. I'm fully confident we'll get another good striker in.

As Randolph Scott used to say "its too quiet out there" two seconds before Gabby Hayes got an arrow in his chest.

I'm with you on this. Gestede, Ayew and Gabby potentially could be worse than Weimann, Benteke and Gabby. It's a really big risk to go in to the season as it is.

I think we've improved the midfield a little with Gueye and Veretout over Delph and Cleverley and the defence a bit with Amavi and Richards over Vlaar and the collection of leftbacks we've tried but with all the Premier league inexperience in the team I see us as being a couple of players short of being comfortable.

[PaulWinch again]

I agree on the goalscorer front.

[Matt Collins]

Ayew I think will be a big upgrade on weimann

But we're very short on replacing benteke unless one of these two lumpur forwards massively surpassed expectations. Given their ages that seems highly unlikely.

I'm not surprised either . Probably for different reasons .

[bertlambshank]

Cardboard Ron will sign.

[mr underhill]

just in time for the run-in?

[SamTheMouse]

I'm guessing someone has already mentioned this, but I've just got an email update from the OS with the squad numbers, and there quite conspicuously doesn't seem to be a n°10...

Am I reading too much into that?

[pav]

Your reading exactly same as me.... And Im a big kid... At 41...

Negative one's no doubt.

[cdward]

Balotelli is still available, I would love us to take a gamble on him.
