Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[mr underhill]

is that abroad somewhere?

[AVH87]

Lescott, Richards and Gabby to leave.
A pacey CF and a creative midfielder/winger to come in and we are sorted.

[mr underhill]

if that happens to top off everything else, it will have been a hugely productive summer

[itbrvilla]

Who are ST and AM Big Tone is Twittering about?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Striker and Attacking Midfielder.

[Matt Collins]

Striker and attacking midfielder

No idea who. Imagine there are a few options

We're not being linked with too many attacking midfielders publicly? Except Morrison obviously . .

[paul_e]

I'm not really concerned by that because the links seem to have gone from almost nothing to us having a bid accepted very quickly for most of the signings.  Chester and De Laet in particular seemed to be mentioed by fans as options but with no real links for weeks and then suddenly they were in press and within a day or 2 we had a medical booked in.

Shaun Teale and Alan McInally.

[john e]

Didn't Randy balk at employing Schteve McClaren because of negative fan feedback?

No, that was a bit of a myth.

Either way, I don't think the owner should be making football decisions. Though he might be using this direct communication as a bargaining ploy. Overinflated price for Valencia given by Gold...negative comments on Twitter from Dr X implying we ace no longer interested...more realistic price from Gold?

If it is part of negotiations, all well and good. If the owner is dictating transfer policy, then it's a bad sign.

Absolutely. If our transfers are going to be decided on the basis of some Twits sending messages to the owner and him watching the player once then that's pretty terrifying.

Agreed. We could be signing Messi and there would be someone complaining.

To lightweight for me and keeps the ball to long

[brian green]

And he allegedly ignores tax demands.   We cant have that sort of person in our team.

Who are ST and AM Big Tone is Twittering about?

Shaun Teale and Alan McInally.

Look forward to it!

[JUAN PABLO]

im going to get my bet on villa to be promoted tomorrow

I can see Tony spending £20 million on one player - I can feel it

[Matt Collins]

It would be amazing to get in a brilliant £20m attacker (if worth the money). Can't really think who's realistic though.
