Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[RussellC]

Dorrans is more of an attacking midfielder isn't he?

[Chris Jameson]

I think he's decent in the Championship as a ball winning player, would likely be one of the better ones in the division. Not up to it in the premier League, but I guess that's a problem for July 2017.

And yet Spurs want him?

I'm on about Dorrans.

*14 year old reports Spurs want to strengthen their midfield by raiding relegated Aston Villa and Norwich City for Gana and Dorrans*

He was at the Albion but he played deeper for Norwich.

[aj2k77]

Dorrans was good for Albion 6 years ago.

[PaulWinch again]

Steven Fletcher released by Sunderland, might be worth a shout in the Championship.

[aj2k77]

Another who's been shit for a few years, he'd want pretty big wages.

[PaulWinch again]

Depends on the offers he's getting, and I think he'd score plenty of goals in the Championship.

I'd rather we had our eyes on some players who haven't reached their peak yet, off the back of decent seasons who could play at a higher level rather than sign a bunch of players who did well 5 years ago but haven't produced the good for the past few years on money that their past reputation demands but recent performance doesn't .

We have money and need to rebuild, I don't see any positives in continuing down the maybe they'll rediscover their form and desire path.

I heartily agree.

Nick Powell also released by Utd. Looked good in The Championship for Wigan 2 seasons ago, might be worth a look?

[paul_e]

I'd take a look at Powell, looked a very good player who has been screwed a little by united deciding to spend a quarter of a billion trying to get back to the top.

[Ron Manager]

Steven Fletcher released by Sunderland, might be worth a shout in the Championship.

Played very well at Wolves. Good all round forward if we are short on money as we might be.

What makes you think we may be short on money so we need to sign the likes of Steven Fletcher?

[cdbearsfan]

He'd be an upgrade on Gestede if we want a big target man. He scored goals wherever he has been. Not sure about his fitness thought, I guess Sunderland wouldn't he releasing him if he was close to his best. He'll probably go to America or Glasgow.

[Toronto Villa]

Is he an upgrade on Gestede? His best season at Championship level wasn't as good as Rudy's. He just doesn't score enough goals. He works hard so he might be a good foil to a proper striker but for me he's a squad player or role player.
