Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[silhillvilla]

We need to be more ruthless, the following are not good enough at this level -
Westwood , Clark, Bacuna , Gabby

[Toronto Villa]

If we get a forward who can move and is intelligent to move into spaces it will be amazing how much better our midfielders will become. There's only so much our midfield can do when working with statues.

Maybe Altidore could do a job

Today's game demonstrated that, Grealish seemed to have/find/create loads of time for himself, pulling in defenders, but rarely did one of our strikers make runs for him.

Last Friday I watch the movement of Yanited players. They are on move all the time anticipating phase II . Our players simply don't do that.

Steward?

Westwood is a good player.

I'd be getting shot of Guzan long before Westwood.

[Duncan Shaw]

Looking back at the opening post on this thread and after today, wish we'd bought the fucker!!

Sakho actually looked pretty average until the inevitable goal, which was just gifted. Guzan should have gone long when they were so high to press where they did. I was more pissed about the Clark weakness against Dann for their first, to get that good a contact from that far out is criminal, but the play leading up to their corner was awful too.

Another thing did cross my mind today. We have a player who is quite good in front of goal, quick, makes good runs and is actually decent with his head. He is just pegged as a left winger. I would bet Sinclair would make a decent fist of it through the middle though.

In goal?

Yes they are brilliant.

Sorry, but I just don't believe Austin will provide the impact that people are suggesting, at least enough to justify the 15 million and 60k+ a week in wages he'd cost. Maybe he can be better than our current options, but it'll still take time for him to adjust to the team, and plus, like Darren Bent, he needs people to get him the ball in dangerous situations for him to be able to score goals. That's the far bigger problem - right now, he'd come in and stand around and be unable to do anything threatening just like Gestede and Ayew both have. If we're buying a forward, he needs to be someone who can pull something out of his arse (which Austin won't do, even though people here seem to think he'll automatically score goals just by turning up) or who can create something for one of our other attackers.

If we figure out a way to create more chances, our existing striking options will look much more the part.

As far as the club goes, "ruthless" means give them all a 4 or 5 year new contract.

Would we miss any of them if they weren't here

Right I'll keep this brief. I'd like:

Lescott
A new keeper
Charlie  Austin

Please.
