Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Stirchley Villain]

Why would he accept a one-year deal?

Would you offer him three?

[curiousorange]

I'm not bothered about offering players a one year deal to get us out of the division. I'd rather we signed players that will form a team which will get us promoted and keep us in the Premier League.

I'd rather we do whatever we can to get out of this division then worry about who we bring in to keep us there personally.

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

[Goldie.7]

Fletcher won't score enough and Osman is too old and past it. Apart from Parker, you won't find many 35 yr old midfielders playing in the championship. No to both.

Carlos Sanchez being linked to serie A by newsnow. Take him, please!! Way too slow for the English league.

[olaftab]

Osman at 35 would be fine he's never relied on pace. He's easily got another 2-3 years in him.

When I heard had was being released I thought yes a player who could be very useful for us but 35 concerns me. We have had too many "rest home" types in the recent seasons.

Fixed!

Nooooooo! I like Carlos.

[olaftab]

And me. He will come good next season and go on and prosper in the Prem with us.

[Steve67]

Right, Aftab and cd on the naughty step please!  Carlos is just too slow, doesn't pick up, gives the ball away too often. Great hair though!!

[CT Villan]

Carlos will do something sublime to recover the ball then pass it straight to our opponent's striker on the edge of our box. Only Bacuna has a higher pass to the opposition completion %

He wasn't the worst of a bad bunch, but he won't be missed if he leaves.

[passitsideways]

He struggled with the pace of the PL when it came to passing the ball - I don't see that as being a problem down in the Championship. His defensive work's just fine, as long as he's working in front of a well-organised back 4. Pretty excellent in the air, which I bet will be much more of an asset than it was in the PL.

That's what they said about Pogba!

[Matt C]

I'd bin the whole midfield and start again given the choice.

[mr underhill]

I'd bin the whole team with the exception of Ayew

[Matt C]

£12m Sunderland paid for Fletcher. £12m.

Not as bad as N'Zogbia, granted, but still.
