Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Dave]

McCormack's 29 too, which I'm sure will put us off at that price. Zac Clough at Bolton has been mentioned a few times and he looks to be a player of a similar mold, albeit it younger and cheaper.

If we're looking to go shopping at Fulham, we should be going for Dembele in my opinion.

Already sold to Spurs and loaned back, I think? Good player though.

Was mooted in January but didn't happen I think.

But it does suggest that when he does move it'll be to dine at a fancier table than ours.

Yes, you're right - just checked it. I must have imagined it - I could have sworn that had happened!

He'll definitely have better offers. Certainly the type of player we should be looking at though, mixed in with two or three old hands with good characters.

Gestede looks like a one season wonder to me. I haven't seen anything in his game that makes me think we could build a decent team around him with him as the figure head.

I'd like to know who watched him play & thought he could make it in the Premier League, especially in a team without wingers or anyone who can deliver a decent set piece.

We'll need a better, more mobile option next season if we are to get close to the top 6.

Won't need a new defensive midfielder if Gardner plays for us like he has for Forest tonight. Just gone off injured though 🙄

gardner injured?

[PeterWithe]

We seem to have acknowledged that we need some kind of continuity, surely tactics of 'knock it up to the big man' are pretty short sighted and go against this as it won't work if we come back up.

Both much more realistic than the likes of Charlie adam and Ulloa, which is my main point. Didn't know how old McCormack was. He scores goals though.

How is McCormack realistic, Fulham paid about 12m for him!

Maybe get Routledge back, in and out of the Swansea team these days but surely he'd still be a handful down there.

Gestede was claimed by Sherwood who trumpeted the fact that he'd been watching him for 5 seasons.

[A Northern Soul]

Is Joe Bennett getting much game time at Sheff Wed? I know each of our last 2 managers took one look and sent him on loan but he, like Gardner, has ample championship experience by now and, limited as he may have been in the PL, may be a cheap fix if Amavi escapes in the summer

So Dim Tim was watching him when he couldn't hit a barn door for Cardiff and still signed him?

Totally agree.  Gestede will be OK for 20 minute cameos when needed, but we need better.  Zac Clough has been mentioned, but he has only scored six goals this season.

Tactics takes a fair amount of stick, not all of it justified.

But if he genuinely watched Gestede for five years and STILL signed him he shouldn't be let anywhere near another football club.

Saw that Alan Judge at Brentford - who I would think quite a few teams are looking at - broke his leg in two places on Saturday.

I don't know about that.

I can think of at least 5 or 6 clubs where it should be compulsory that gets 6-12 months at teh job.
