Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[aj2k77]

I can't wait to see what players we manage to dig up with no money. We can't find a bucket to piss in with £50m to spend so with 50p we haven't a chance with these lot in charge.

Yet on another thread Randy has spent too much. Which is it?

What on earth are you on about again?

We can't scout a half decent player with £50m burning a hole in our pocket, I hold no hope of us finding anything decent with nothing to spend. The scouting is shit, look what we conjured up this summer, they're crap, we are relegated in March.

What does that have to do with Randy spending too much? He obviously has, he's a quarter of a billion in the hole. It won't be continuing, Hollis hasn't come here for nothing.

No reports about clubs wanting to sign Gabby then? Or a swoop by aSerie A club for Westwood? Thought not. People are only interested in the dross our useless transfer committe signed last summer...

Apart from Ayew, Amavi, Traore and Gana. They're half decent and someone will want them if they don't want to stop.

We don't have a transfer committee.

I agree re the others, but I haven't seen anything from Traore to suggest he's any good.

He looks like someone who could be a very good player in time and when he's actually fit. He's a bit raw but I can see why we brought him in.

I wouldn't disagree with that, but the action I've seen to make me think he could be decent has all been youtube stuff from before he joined us. I've seen him do nothing for us, pretty much - he's constantly injured, which doesn't help, but he's been a poor signing.

When you think about it, we have so many players who contribute next to nothing, but cost decent wages.

No wonder we're fucked.

I think saying he's done nothing is a tad unfair. He set up a great goal up at Sunderland, created an own goal 3 minutes after coming on at Palace and I think he scored in the Cup. It's not much but like you said, he's hardly played that much. I wouldn't call it a poor signing, he's just not got going properly yet.

[pauliewalnuts]

See that kind of return, to me, says poor signing.

We've made far too many of that type in recent years.

He's not made enough starts to show one way or the other whether he's good or not.

[SamTheMouse]

I think Traoré was a decent signing, as "one for the future". There's definitely a lot of potential there.

[PeterWithesShin]

If he'd been playing every game it would be a poor signing, considering how little time he's spent on the pitch his stats aren't poor. Every game i've seen him play he's caused the opposition problems. The issue has been we haven't been able to get him on the pitch anywhere near enough.

[Ads]

He has pace that would trouble Boult and a physice that would worry Froch. He's very raw but he's got a lot of talent, just a pity he's not had a run.

[PeterWithesShin]

He's played approx 185 mins of league football for us and got 2 assists. 60 mins of cup football and scored a goal.

I honestly believe if we'd been able to play him and Amavi in most games that we wouldn't be in the bottom 3.

12 pages already...I predict this time another 1000 page  thread before 31 August.

I hope so. It's about time one of my threads hit the big time.
