Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[ozzjim]

Agreed. All fart and no shit.

Grealish did more in 20 minutes on Saturday than Gil in 65 sadly. Lovely player, but not for the Championship.

[tomd2103]

Provided they grow a collective pair, Amavi and Grealish should combine well on the left next season.

Time and again yesterday, Grealish drew two defenders to him playing Cissokho in down the left where the chances were wasted.

Amavi in that position should be able to create plenty of goals.

new keeper for sure, leader at centre half to organise defence, new right back, new captain in midfield, new striker,

looks like we will be competing with the two if not three clubs in the north east for players

id sell Gana to be honest, a fair weather player not one for a scrap and not a character we need next season

They've done us over a couple of times with centre halves (Curtis Davies and Lescott), but I wonder how much mileage Jonas Olsson has left in him.  By all accounts he will be leaving Albion at the end of the season and if he has anything left, he might not be a bad signing for the Championship.  Leader, nasty side to him - just what we need.  Have to bad careful though, and we don't need another Lescott.

And while we're on the subject of those idiots, James Morrison would be a very good signing as well.

Personally I think Klopp will be a fan of Ings. Obviously no idea how much the injury will have taken its toll but he's an industrous little bastard and will fit in with his high intensity pressing. Also as mentioned there will be top flight clubs in for him.

I agree with the Adam shouts. I also like Morrison from the Tesco bags but again think he would get top flight offers. That's not to say they wouldn't still drop a division, just makes it less likely.

First priority off me would be a striker.  He's another who is going to have offers from Premier League teams, but Dwight Gayle would be a good buy.  Agree with the shouts about Adam and Morrison, and about David Marshall.  The back four might need a total rebuild, but I hope Okore stays.

Whoever comes in has got a massive job on their hands; not only in bringing in the right players but also in shipping out some of the crap we have in our squad

I personally would like to see the following out - Guzan, Bunn, Hutton, Richards, Lescott, Cissokho, Crespo, Richardson, Bacuna, Westwood, Sanchez, N'Zogbia, Gil, Veretout, Agbonlahor and Kozak.

That's 16 players some of whom will be out of contract but most of whom have been absolutely dog shit all season so if we did manage to shift that lot it would be a bloody miracle!

No idea who we would be able to bring in but Charlie Adam seems a good shout and Ross McCormack at Fulham seems to be scoring goals for fun in a piss poor Fulham side - he would not be cheap though

Out of that list, I'd like to see us keep Bunn, Veretout and Kozak. Bacuna for his versatility may come in useful as well.

But what do we do when Bayern come in for Bacuna?

Ricky Lambert would be a good addition I think

Even the most intense LSD trip normally wears off after about 12 hours, or so I am told.

[Hookeysmith]

I really think we need an old head surrounded by youth.

Step forward Gareth Barry - a true footballer to drive us back

I would have said Dwight Gayle a while back, but he was one of the Dim Brigade photographed on Turds Day Out along with our pair of wasters.

I know it's a fairly small circle, but judge a man by the friends he keeps and all that.

Different type of player completely, but if we were looking at Palarse, I might be tempted to go for Wickham.  Has done well in the Championship previously and would benefit from a consistent run of games.

We'd still need a forward with good pace or movement though. Callum Robinson might be persevering with down there for a while, as I expect Ayew and Traore will be off. Sinclair if he fancies it, should be better than most on that division. But I'm not even sure football is a priority for him anymore.

I just can't think of a single reason why Barry would want to join us.

Out of the list above, I reckon we have got a chance of getting rid of:

Guzan - MLS
Hutton - Only chance is Rangers taking him back now they are up
Richards - Think there will be some mug punters out there
Lescott - MLS
Crespo - ??
Richardson - Out of contract
Sanchez - Would be buyers in South America due to his form with Colombia
N'Zogbia - Out of contract - get the bunting out

The rest I think we are stuck with to be honest. 

[PeterWithe]

Didn't Crespo leave in January?

If not how can the scouts recommend a player not good enough to get in this defence?
