Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

Test the baggies with 25 million for Berahino ...... he scores goals and if we don't believe Austin is fit then who else is still out there?

Look outside the UK and there are players, probably better value for money as Sherwood stated, British players are over-priced.

The problem going overseas is that most of the time the player takes a season to settle and get to the pace
We don't have time to ease a proven striker from Europe into our team

I would go for Hernadez, he may be off to Germany, but is much better / different option than we have.

This is the Premiership and unless you have a player who will score 15+ a season you will struggle - which is the fear that I have for us

Really? Because I see Southampton's top scorer in the league last season was Pelle with 12, and we're not even aiming to achieve a position as high as they were last season. I agree in the sense that it's nice to have a player who will get you that many goals, but we'll be just fine so long as we get plenty of goals from everywhere else: say, Sinclair is our top scorer this season with 10-12, and then we get half a dozen each from Ayew, Kozak and Gestede, and a few goals from Gil, Grealish and Adama, there won't be any issues,

Problem we have is:
1)Kozak - Tim obviously does not rate him, shame because I think he would offer something
2) Gestede - I don't believe he is Premiership class - good squad player to have
3) Ayew - Unknown but does seem he may take time to settle and show if he will make it

the bold bit is one of the most repeated bullshit lines you ever see on football forums.  5 players scored 15+ last season and 1 of them was in a side that was relegated.  You only need a striker scoring loads if you can't get goals from anywhere else, in truth what you need is 4-6 players who get 5-10 each (the more players get into that group the less you need them to each score).  In my opinion Sinclair, Gestede and Adama have all shown they will get that many, I think Ayew has goals in him and I suspect once Jack breaks his duck he'll get a few as well.  If the defence and midfield can then chip in with 10-12 between them we should score enough.

Nothing to do with Premiership (Premier League by the way) or struggling. If you have a goal scorer who can net 20 or so you will do well in most Leagues. If you don't it does not automatically means struggle as that depends on lot of other things.

Not seen this mentioned any where.

Charlie Austin is among a host of Queens Park Rangers players who have had their monthly wages slashed in case they leave the club next week.

In an unusual cost-cutting exercise, a batch of players have had August's pay packet reduced in case they leave before Tuesday's 6pm transfer deadline.

Players were due to be paid on Friday, but some squad members awoke to find they were missing money, around a week's worth, from their monthly pay.

Players were not advised of the decision.

The cash was purposely deducted by the club so they do not overpay anyone who leaves before Tuesday's deadline.

It is assumed the club will reimburse players if they don't leave Loftus Road by Tuesday.

Among the players to have been affected are Austin, who has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs, and Rob Green - a target for West Ham

It is also believed that Junior Hoilett, Matt Phillips and Sandro have also had their pay reduced this month.

The disgruntled players expressed their grievances to club officials on Friday.

The move is part of a major cost-cutting drive by the club over the summer as Rangers look to get their finances back on track.

Bit harsh isn't it. They signed a contract and now the club are breaching the contract. Looks like their bomb squad strategy to force certain players to leave before the deadline.

Really? A season? I don't.see that at all, otherwise no-one would be buying foreigm players if it takes as long as that!

[footyskillz]

I'd like matt Phillips, lescott and Hernandez. Rob green would be good competition for guzan.

[Toronto Villa]

Rob Green is a walking fucking disaster. No thanks.

Benteke scored a fair few goals in his first season.

Id get an offer in after dante if he's off to Leicester , adebayor and , Hernandez on loan and lennon or matt Philips with free, Nolan, pienaar moses osman, and Walters . there's plenty of options affordable and names we all heard of which is now needed at this late stage. No more risks. Experienced players from premier league and Dante would be good.

[mr underhill]

is that all of them or just one or two that you think would realistically come in?

You don't mean the Stoke Walters, do you?

No not all maybe one or two of this ilk. Also Robbie Brady was left back at Norwich today he would have been good enough and cheaper than amavi.

Ayewwww scores ... Sorry live typing
