Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[LukeJames]

I think its bollocks but I like Gayle, good movement and can play on the shoulder of the last defender, he'd suit us.

Berbatov was last seen in this league looking unarsed as Fulham went down.

[Hookeysmith]

Lots of talk about Berbatov.  In Brum apparently

I am sure I saw somewhere that he was here for a function (Christening etc) with Stan - is Berba not a Gog father to one of Stans kids?

[timeoutbigbar]

Of the three strikers currently in the frame (Adebayor, Berbatov and Gayle) I think I'd take Gayle.  Far more likely to actually want to play for us, won't just see it as another contract at the end of his career.  At 25, still yet to reach his peak.

gulp

[silhillvilla]

imagine our last business of the window being Gayle and Berbatov on deadline day.  be a bit like going to the pub on Xmas eve and staggering home to find the house engulfed in an uncontrollable fire .

[RussellC]

Still don't get this Berbatov thing. If he's a free agent he can sign for whoever, whenever so him rolling-up on deadline day would probably be more of a hindrance to any other deals we're trying to do!

Unless his peak proves to be at least a dozen times higher than his current level, it's a no from me.

I'd take Adebayor but don't think he'll come now.

Not keen on any of those options - would rather stick with what we have.  I believe we need an additional (experienced) premier league striker but for one reason or another, those three linked don't fill me with any confidence.

I was convinced we'd be in for Charlie Austin, and despite that looking highly unlikely (and has done for some time now) I'll still keep my fingers crossed.

Adebayor on loan would be fine.

Berbatov would be like having our own real life Noel Coward up front,
 swanning and swooning about with grace and panache, but without the smoking jacket and silver cigarette holder

[avfcpg]

I'd take Gayle out of the three. Averages 1 in 4 (better than Weimann I would imagine), fits in with the young(ish) and hungry profile.
Not my ideal signing but wouldn't be adverse to him.

Agree with the Gayle comments...don't rate Gayle, don't want Gayle, hope we don't get Gayle.

SSN reporter at BH suggested a PL winner is there to sign now...presumably he's talking about Berbatov *facepalm*

He possibly means Lescott. Didn't he win the title with Man City?

[KRS]

Phew! Yep that makes sense...Lescott won PL title in 2011–12 and 2013–14 with Man City.
