Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Toronto Villa]

I'd like us get Loftus-Cheek on loan or even Solanke. I wonder if he will have any contacts in Germany from his time at Schalke

[JUAN PABLO]

I like Jordan Amavi myself

So do Liverpool apparently

they want Gibbs too apparently and he is fit I suppose

[Toronto Villa]

Liverpool not being in the CL is not going to help them attract players unless they significantly overspend to get them. So £20m and Amavi is all yours Kloppy

[Phil from the upper holte]

I think Carrick has signed a 1 Year deal

[tomd2103]

Report in a paper saying today that Swansea might feel looking to move Neil Taylor on this summer.  Would be a good buy for us and would solve our long running LB problem.

I like Jordan Amavi myself

Not sure LB is going to be Amavi's position in the long run.  In the short window we saw him, as good as he looked going forward he was suspect defensively.

[Dante Lavelli]

Dorrans was outstanding in the Championship under Di Matteo. Thought he was older the 29

He's precisely one of those in between players that thrive at that level but disappear in the PL. He'd be a good addition.

Good signing, if true.

I'd take him.

As for Carrick, I think it's a no go. Jose doesn't mind a few oldies around. He'll rate Carrick. No doubt.

He also likes pace and pressing from his midfielders (i.e. jettisoning Mata from Chelsea), so I'm not sure it's a completely natural fit with Jose.  Regardless I'd guess that there would be a few PL teams that would offer him as much/more than we could.  Barry is more intriguing as I'd hope he has some affiliation with the club.

100% this, far too much of a bottler to be a defender

however as a left sided midfielder he could be top drawer

Dorrans from Norwich would be a significant upgrade on Westwood.

[SoccerHQ]

Dorrans never really did much in premier league but was a stand out player in championship. That was 6 years ago now though.

I'd personally be happy with Mulumbu and Morrison on frees. Both vastly experienced, one a proper DM and Morrison can chip in with goals so would greatly improve the midfield.

[PeterWithesShin]

Mulumbu has been crap for a couple of years, which is strange as I thought he was a cracking player before that. And Morrison can feck off after the QF.

[tomd2103]

Dorrans is more of a wide player isn't he?

[tony scott]

Doreens hasn't done a lot for Norwich, and after last season will have the losing mentality that affects our squad.

[Mister E]

Dorrans, Morrison, Mulumbu ... All sounds very retro to me.
I don't wish to sound negative and understand that we need some experienced upgrades along the spine of our team but I hope that RdM's approach is a little more inspired than some of the tired suggestions here.

I'd take Morrison out of those.

[mattjpa]

Rumoured that Patrick Bamford could be set to become his first signing......
