Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Pete3206]

Did we have buy back clause on Jordan Bowery?

"They spent the necessary money to tempt...

We need to do the same"

I see a flaw in your plan.

Sims, Lilis and David Hunt

Is Lillis still knocking about at Huddersfield?

[Walmley_Villa]

Most Championship teams have a British spine and predominantly British squad which buggers up our recruitment policy. Another reason I see Garde going as he won't have a clue on players to get us competitive in that division.

I put it on another thread. Alan Judge Brentford midfielder, rated one of the best in Championship.

Karanka and Carvalhal seem to have managed okay as did the Watford manager who got them promoted last year. Why should Garde have less of a clue?

[Hoppo]

Garde hasn't got a clue on how to manage them in this division. The question is why would he have a clue in The Championship?

[ASHTONVILLA]

I actually think he would be a pretty decent appointment for us, especially if he could bring Daniel Johnson back and get him scoring from midfield for us.

The job is made for someone to come and become a bit of a hero

I live in Preston, and my in-laws are all PNE fans, they really rate Grayson. Wouldn't be an exciting choice, but I reckon he would be a solid enough choice. Can't do any worse than Garde, who I am rapidly losing faith in.

There's a lad who plays for Huddersfield called Joe Lolley who used to be a regular on Villatalk. It's going to be fairly surreal for him next season lining up against us I bet. Anyway, let's buy him.

He is - Academy Manager. He's also their regular caretaker manager, he's had about five stints at it.

[go on the dog]

We should be looking at players like Ben Marshall, Adam Clayton, Zach Clough and Grant Hanley, British talent who know the league

I don't know much about him. Jonathan Hogg plays here too, he unfortunately did his ligaments recently. And Jed Steer's doing pretty well, I was talking to a Town lad the other night and the fans would like to see him stay permanently. It might be worth us giving him a go, he seems comfortable at that level.

Karanka's been mentioned a few times, looks like Boro are bottling promotion again this year but what I would say on that....Boro had been down for 5 years when he was appointed so other managers like Mowbray had to do the dirty work of unloading the squad full of high earners and get it settled in the division.

I compare us more to teams like Blackburn, Bolton and Fulham all of whom are poorly run and were long time fixtures in the premier league, none of them have challenged for promotion since relegation and all three look more likely to go out the division the other way.

Premier league football is all any of us 30 or under have ever know and it will be the same for many at the club so it will be a massive culture shock for all of us and will take some time to get used to things.

Can't say I'm expecting promotino straight away, there is too much chaos around the club. It needs to be sold for a start.

Or put another way - managers who 'know the English market' such as Strachan and Mowbray at Boro, and Gray, Jones and Megson at Wednesday failed miserably. Whereas two foreign managers who never even played over here have been very successful.

I'm not saying that Garde is automatically the right man but to me 'he's foreign therefore can't be a success in the Championship' is a daft stereotype.
