Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[ClaretAndBlueBlood]

Just from wiki, with never having seen him play, it says he's tiny 5ft 6 and has had 1 good season in 5 years.

nothing wrong with being 5ft 6.........

Better than Gabby then?

Gayle's not a bad shout actually, hopefully Ayew will stay with us but if not Gayle and big Rudy could be a pretty decent combo up top championship level.
Would need further investment if they fired us to the title though cos they aren't quite starter material for the top league.

Gayle who has about a 1 in 3 record in the Premier league? He will be staying put or going to another premier league team I am pretty sure.

Kalinic - All done, work permit agreed apart from a ratification through some panel, one of which was Margaret Byrne, she who had the morale fibre to allow Johnson to keep playing for Sunderland, voted that he was not of the right quality. Or something like that. But the league isn't at all murky. Not at all.

Wow, not a conflict of interest there at all.

Manone, Pantilimon and all the other useless beggars they have had up there.   Yes, Sunderland would be experts at foreign goalies not being up to snuff.

Not saying Kalinic would have righted all our wrongs, but you think of some of the games where Brad was practically throwing the ball into his own net at times and how a competent keeper might have kept us vaguely competitive.

Bamford could be another one for next season.  Patrick Roberts from Manchester City who has been on loan all season at Celtic might be a decent shout as well, though he is a wide player.

[Tom_Mc9?]

Roberts is at Celtic until 2017, but I'm sure some other Man City youngsters would be good if we're to go down loan signings route.

Not keen to loan others young uns myself would rather try our own young Villans

There are some interesting bosman's about this summer. If, if, if, we have the manager and owners in place we might not need bosman transfers but it would be daft not to have a look.

Plenty of Bosmans here.

Huddlestone's only 29?? I thought he'd be well into his 30's by now.

Yeah, debuted at 16 I think, so he's been around for what seems a lot longer. Worth a punt, for no fee.

If he lowers his wage. I'd rather have Carrick or Barry for that role, but Hudd is the realistic option.

Would be on huge wages - even by our standards and even I could cover more ground quicker than him. I liked him earlier in his career but now way too slow - also has hardly set the Championship alight as he?

James Morrison
Tom Carrol @ 23
Elmohamady @ 28

all better options off that list

[peter w]

If Ayew leaves, Nicky Ajose from Swindon might be a cheaper alternative to Gayle as someone to play alongside Gestede.

You are Paul Lambert and I claim my £5!

[PaulWinch again]

McCormack £12 million, give me a break.
