Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[footyskillz]

Is today Eastie Day or is it tomorrow?

Tomorrow

Is it today in Europe i.e. because they may not have the bank holiday monday?  Not sure where I have got that idea from.

The transfer window closing is held on the last day of the month

The deadline is tomorrow over here though.

We might get Lescott but I doubt we will see anybody else this window.

Midnight CET over here.  Don't know how that would effect transfers from Europe into the UK.

Not saying I want us to sign him but Shane Long always struck me as a decent player.

Similarly - talking of Stripeys present and past - that James Morrison always struck me as underrated.

I think Kozak might go but no chance with Charlie Chester, he's more than happy to sit it out and pick up the brown envelope. if Senderos isn't budging then maybe the £2m on Lescott isn't really worth it?

I think if the Bitters hadn't have had Morrison last season they'd have dropped. Their most consistent player by far.

I expect Southampton would want to recoup the £10m they paid for him and I feel Morrison is one of those that is a decent enough squad player but nothing more. We are getting, finally, to the stage where we need to invest in players who are guaranteed to walk straight into the first team, resulting in current first teamers dropping to more squad player level.

I still think we are desperately short up front having not been hugely impressed with Rudy, feeling Ayew will take a good while to settle in - maybe 12 months - (if he ever does) and Gabby (whether you like him or not), simply not being a good enough goal scoring threat.
If we can get someone who is mobile but also a strong enough presence to play on their own; Gomis spring to mind (not that we could get him)

Having said all that, Lescott (at most) will be all that we get tomorrow and I am beginning to think that this won't happen either

[Steve67]

James Collins available from wet spam apparently. Worth it for the experience?

Kozak to Hull? Just a hunch. Loan.

[Toronto Villa]

With Jelavic about to join West Ham, and also some of Sherwood's veiled comments about Adebayor I wonder if this one will happen tomorrow?

What were his comments about Adebayor?

[KevinGage]

Aye, West Ham are clearly looking at other options, so even if Adebayor wants them, I don't think the feeling is mutual.

Palace is the only other realistic option, but they seem well covered for forwards now.

I can see the argument for more experience up top.

But I never wanted him at the outset and I still don't now.   Particularly if we were way down on his preferred list.

[mr underhill]

FFS! Yanited have (apparently) signed Martial for 36.6 m. He scored less than Ayew did last season! And this after LVGoul said he wouldn't be making any panic buys.

just that nothing was being ruled out. Nothing overly specific.

[CJ]

I think Adebayor will come in right at the end of the window. Think Sherwood and Levy are waiting to see who'll blink first - Levy wants £5m off his books, Sherwood isn't prepared to pay all his wages. Resolution at 5.59.59 tomorrow
