Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[tomd2103]

If it's Moyes someone like Osman cheaply to show the others what hard work means would be likely i reckon.  Distin on a free at the back might be worth doing too. Howe said he was amazed at how fit he was for his age.

Keeper, leader at back, 2 midfielders and some pace up front are musts.

Pace: Ayew, Green and Hepburn all have pace.

Alternately, Gil, Gestede, Grealish and Kozak haven't.

No question we need to rebuild the spine of the side. How do you do that reallistically in the Championship?

GK - ? Not sure. The guy we were after in Jan sounds viable but I've not seen him play. Other possibilities? Depends on how much we have to spend, I don't rate Bunn or Guzan.

CD - I'd give Vlaar a contract , surely a step back up from where he is - I dont think our demise without him this year was a co-incidence. Pair him with Baker who now has experience.

CM - Scott Brown from Celtic? does everything Westwood does but can win the ball as well. Could we get Craig Gardner back on the promise we pair him with his brother? Both capable at this level.  Both have a determination and local pride that I think may be important. (fuck the bluenose thing). 
Who knows whether Petrov is seriously looking at a comebackback. Premier League? No chance.   Championship level, short term pay as you play deal? Wheres the harm.

CF--  I watched the HK 7s and Rushian HepburnMurphy looks to have real potential.  Could be too early for him though.

Would like Ayew to stay.
Gabby and Gestede can go. I reckon Kozak if fit would get 10-15 goals at that level, so I'd keep him.

 If not, as I've been saying all season, our best attacker potentially is Adama. I would play him centrally, makes defenders scared every time he gets the ball. He's a great finisher and I feel he's wasted out wide. Thats if he stays- or we can afford him to stay.

Add Grealish , Gil, Sanchez, Hutton (dont worry he'll cope) Amavi (again -if)  Thats a team capable of promotion easily, and I've barely spent a penny.

Just imagine what else could be added with Moyes and 40-50 million pounds.

Vlaar can fuck off.

[mr woo]

Vlaar can fuck off.

So you think we improved since he left?

He's still not good enough and there's no point having a player who'll manage 20 games tops. Vlaar was as bad last season as Lescott has been this. We might as well keep Joleon.

No. We've got worse since Downing left but I wouldn't have him back either.

For a defender we need a leader. Not someone who turns up with a note from his mum every time he has a chipped toenail and who has ideas above his station.

I htink it was against Southampton last season. Last minute and Vlaar got absolutely roasted. That was a signal, as bad as I've seen from Lescott this whole season (and we've seen a lot of examples) that his legs were turning to dust. He was/is utterly wrecked.

One of the things we need to be working towards is having a regular keeper and defence combination (whether it be a back four or back three).  As Leicester showed, having a settled keeper and back four is important and we need to find a combination that works as soon as possible.  Add a midfielder or two who can protect the defence and we should be more solid.  Injuries can't be helped, but we need to try and move away from players who miss games on a pretty regular basis.

Baggies after Clark again apparently according to the E&S on BBC Gossip page.
I'm meh about him, but would hate him to go there and fulfil his potential!

[cdbearsfan]

Clark's fine. I'd like to keep him. I'd like a captain brought into play alongside him, Baker and Toner as back up and Richards and Lescott to leave.

Clark to me is one of these players who will get better as he gets older. Him and an experienced partner for him to learn off in the championship could work.

[peter w]

I'd make Clark captain. I think he'd develop to be the talker that we need.

[ktvillan]

Isn't Clark well into his 20s now? And people still talk about his potential? I'd laugh my tits off if the boggies signed him because I think he's awful.  Lacks pace, strength, composure, can't read the game, awful positioning, top ball watcher, no leadership qualities, and as a bonus prone to drop a regular bollock.  And that's just the positives.

[aj2k77]

Clark captain.......

[frank black]

If he has a release clause as reported, then it's not really our decision to keep him.

5mil reported, seems low but then again so was the Delph one.
