Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Monty]

I'd like Meireles. Tough, experienced, and the kind of player who can help coaches get their ideas across to other players by providing an example to follow.

and a little bit mental looking and intimidating. I like that

Would be a good partner for Gana in midfield, with Veretout or Grealish just in front of them.

I wonder if there is anything in that Raul Meireles link from a few weeks back. Not only was his one season with Chelsea the one where Di Matteo won his trophies, but also spent eight months at Liverpool when Steve Clarke was assistant manager there.

And on the same note....Matya Vydra.

Clarke took him to West Brom and also signed him for Reading. Lost his way a bit recently but was excellent for Watford in the league three seasons ago.

I think we've had more than our fair share of players who were excellent 3 seasons ago. We don't need more gambles and career resurrections.

[oldtimernow]

After the experience of Richards, no more resurrections please

[ozzjim]

Vydra is a quality little player. I would take Mareilles as well. And Robson Kanu on a free. All 3 better than what we will be left with in their positions

[LeeB]

I think Westwood at Sheffield Wednesday would be a decent shout for keeper. 

It needed pointing out.

[Clampy]

Vydra is a really good shout. Busy little player who know's where the net is.

[Stirchley Villain]

I think Westwood at Sheffield Wednesday would be a decent shout for keeper.

I think Westwood at Wednesday as a midfielder would be even better.

Robson Kanu going to Swansea on a free I think.

[OCD]

There's a risk with any new signing so I don't see the point of scoffing at someone, especially when the new assistant manager will know him well and how to get the best out of him.

[mr underhill]

I thought he was excellent at Watford and was surprised he left. If someone can instil some confidence he's be a  good acquisition.

[aj2k77]

Don't these transfers nearly always turn out shit for us?

Player has had a couple of poor seasons, looked quality, just needs confidence..... comes here, does fuck all, drains the wage bill, leaves for nothing.

We could do with a few players on the up, not on the down.

I can't imagine Vydra 'draining the wage bill' somehow.
