Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[tony scott]

The midfield we employ is slow and one paced, which is okay if you get plenty of movement from your strikers ,we badly need two quick midfielders ,it takes pressure off our brittle defence and ensures other teams are less able to play hiigher up the pitch. Possibly play Amavi in one of those positions he is the only player on our current squad to fit the bill imho

Yes. We have the epitome of a 'nothing' midfield. Not one of them is 'box to box'. Not one of them can beat a man. Not one of them is pacey. Not one of them is a ball player. Etc.

First two names on my shopping list would be Peter Crouch and Ross McCormack.

[godzvilla]

is Mr Umpa Lumpa coming too ?

Assombalonga ?.....if so,  hope so....................Godzvilla!

I read yesterday on Newsnow that we are in talks with 32 year old Raul Miereles the former Liverpool and Chelsea player. If he still has it, could be a smart move.

In the local newspapers Millwall are fighting off interest in young midfield enforcer Mahlon Romeos.  Well we did nearly get Teddy off them.

If nothing else, he would bring one of the finer beards that football has to offer:

[Steve67]

Er, it's great to see he's tidied himself up a bit! Good player but I always thought he looked a bit rough. Not now though! Truly a thing of beauty, well, the beard anyway.

[ozzjim]

Got to be signed just for the beard.  What a beard!

[mr underhill]

this is all getting a bit 50 shades of beard homoerotic

[ozzjim]

You have to be a little envious of that beard

[Villa in Denmark]

He looks like an entry for the Hipster Bollocks thread.

[Toronto Villa]

He appears a little mental doesn't he? I like that. He's a good player with bags of experience, but it's one of those stories that make sense while we have no certainty over the manager situation.

[Ian.]

The beards very good but I'm not keen on the bleached comb over.

Perhaps the sort of player we have been missing in midfield, always put a shift in and liked to get a tackle in too.

As usual with us we are signing him 3-5 years too late perhaps but as a solid central midfielder he would do the job, needs to have players either side who like to get forward though and have plenty of agility so our current lot would struggle!
