Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[ozzjim]

Delaney at Palace if free is a decent shout

[peter w]

Waghorn would be a great addition.

[chrisw1]

I'd take Leon Osman on a free. Decent player. Works hard and still has a couple of good years in him.

That is a very good call.

Boaz Myhill as Gk
Defender - Martin Kelly palace , Bardsley and Hangelund stoke.

Midfielders- Charlie Adam,  forest Lansbury , Everton Osman and Gibson. Jedinak at palace. Andy king at Leicester.

Strikers- big Chris Martin , Rickie Lambert , Jon Walters. Then someone like Frazier Campbell or Martin emnes.

Bring in some of these experienced 100% players think decent off top of head.

We need to be careful of filing our squad with workmanlike older players, particularly if they want top wages for dropping a division.  We could end up with all the problems we were saddled with when MON left.

I don't think we need to worry about them wanting top wages. Salary is market driven. They will only come to the Championship if they don't get a better offer in the Premier League. Given that Premier League wages are about to rocket again, we'll be lucky to entice anyone who is offered a decent Prem role. So they wont be in a position to demand high wages.

The likes of osman/Gibson/jedinak are just what we need in central midfield, then Walters and Crouch up front. Really hope we keep Ayew then and sure Geste will stay, we need to play two up top though next season if Gestede does stay as we need a runner off him to pick up knock downs from the big man.

If Delaney is on a free then he would be a solid addition at centre back alongside baker/Clark and okore if he stays.

We need additions in every area, so as many on a free as possible will be a bonus especially as I can't see us receiving a fat lot for the ones we want to shift so the budgets will be very limited no doubt u less Randy decides to say "fuck it go for broke" can't see that happening though and I'd guess at £10 million being about it plus whatever we can recover from sales

That's a lot of old players. I agree an element of experience is needed, but we don't want to make our squad massively top heavy.

I would say 3-4 is about right. Then a further 3-4 players who are younger but have what it takes in the Championship. Alan Judge and players like that. Gardner could well be a key player for us now.
Every single experienced older head we have, has to go. Richards, Gabby and Lescott have awful attitudes.
The key thing about any experienced players we sign will be attitude and the ability to still perform week in, week out. We don't want a Senderos, injured every week and we don't want someone coming in just for the pay check (Richards, Lescott).

[paul_e]

Of that list I could accept Myhill and Jedinak and maybe Walters after that they're either too old or just not very good.  I know we're bad and have a lot of problems to solve but taking on guys who have a season left in them or who have mugged a living at yoyo clubs doesn't fix anything.  They might work as band-aids for a season but if we do go back up after a year we really don't want to be trying to retain a place in the premier league with a team containing Gibson, Bardsley and Campbell.

I agree that we need to get a couple of experienced players with a good attitude but around that we should be looking at players who will keep us in the premier league in 2 years time, the idea of buying players to get us promoted who will then need to be replaced is the exact way to ensure we get stuck down there for years.

I am told that Ashley Nadesan currently on trial at Bournemouth is a very exciting prospect. 21 year old with Horley Town he has scored a staggering 100 goals in the last two seasons. Just the sort of gem we should be looking to find.  Always assuming that we have any scouts that have not emigrated or gone up to university.

I get that I just giving some realistic targets given the situation. I feel players like these can still, and want to, do a job unlike likes of some current players we have.

Ideally some youthful players but a few like lansbury and forest ,  mowatt at Leeds or Carney at Fulham also could be options but it's players like this and ones mentioned above along with unheard of players that are targets now.  I rather go with tried and tested givers and develop the young players with a few snatches from Darby, forest, Leeds,Fulham and the like.

I would re sign joe Cole and brinh in a few experience especially if we let other older heads move on.
As we need some experience of we consider these players here leaving -
Richardson, 
Richards ,
Nzogbia
Bacuba
Cissoka
Lescott
Guzan
And if we consider players such as okore , ayew,  Ghana,  Sanchez, veretout could be sold and agents tout them to higher placed/league teams then that's quite a few bodies needed. Also the new manager and what style he adopts ?
Interesting but the likes of joe Cole and hutton can gang around and if petrov came back that would be immense

[passitsideways]

Grealish, Gardner, whoever breaks in from the academy, whoever stays between Veretout/Amavi/Adama, and maybe a couple of new signings. I think there's enough of a young core from that where we can afford to sign a few experienced players.

[adrenachrome]

Daily Heil say want Fulham striker Ross McCormack.

[ozzjim]

If they are right it would be a damned good start.
