Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

SSN...Baker to Bristol City, loan.

We shouldn't be loaning any more players to them unless they promise to actually pick them.

I find Gayle irritating too, for no obvious reason. I just don't like the cut of his jib.

He's alright as a player, has something about him, but wouldn't be one I'd like us to bring in. I wonder if this is our Clint Dempsey of the window?

Clint Dempsey was far more exciting than Dwight sodding Gayle.

I think he means that we didn't really want or expect to sign either of them - Dempsey was to get Genk to pull their finger our and finalise the Benteke deal, and Gayle is just being used to make Adebayor/Spurs get it sorted.

You'd hope so. Really, really hope so.

Aye Jim lad. You have the long and short of it.

Fair enough.

I worry though as I did want Dempsey and definitely don't want Gayle. My natural pessimism meant that I never really thought we'd get Dempsey but I'm panicking we'll come back with a higher offer and end up lumbered with the epitomy of mediocrity that is Dwight Gayle.... for silly money.

I think I've just been posting on a forum with SilhillVilla for too long!

If we do sign Gayle we will need LTA to come cheer us all up

It would certainly be a bit of an underwhelming end to what's been a very positive window.

BBC reckon Sunderland are looking to loan a left-back to cover van Aanholt. Richardson, maybe?

[edgysatsuma89]

Dwight Gayle is a little too 'aphex twin' for my liking.

[silhillvilla]

Funny old game isn't it, if Dwight gayle was an unknown foreigner coming in from La Serie Liga X for example, we'd all be knocking one out to edited YouTube montages now.

I don't want Dwight Gayle but just saying .

[kippaxvilla2]

Of all the funny posts on here in the last couple of hours, the Dwight Gayle 'looks like one of the Tweenies' will take some beating.

[mr underhill]

what a shame Sunderland aren't in  for Charles 'pot plant' N' Zogbia

[Joshua Fineman]

Lots of talk about Berbatov.  In Brum apparently

[Tom_Mc9?]

I don't like any of today's links. Hey ho, if they put on the shirt they'll have my support (obviously)

This is a fair point.  But we have the advantage of having watched him in real life and knowing he is, well, pretty average.

With that said, would he improve our squad?  Yeah probably.  But surely the money could be better spent elsewhere.

[cdbearsfan]

He'd be no significant improvement on Weimann and would cost five times as much.
