Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[SoccerHQ]

He's one of those players we should target a year from now all being well.

[KRS]

No. I suggested he would be an ideal signing for a Championship campaign along with the likes of Brady and Hendrick but he would be unlikely to drop down a division. Also his price tag and wages would be unrealistic.

[aj2k77]

Sinclair no but Westwood I'd keep.

As what?

[john e]

Has somebody seriously suggested Shane Long would drop down a division?

we've only made one signing bud, Elphick
and he dropped down a division, couldn't wait to come and play for the mighty Aston Villa

in his press conference he was reported to say ' I don't give a shit about the premier league when it comes to joining the Villa, I would drop down to the Evo-Stik northern to play for them and every other premiership player has told me they would do the same'

[supertom]

Sinclair no but Westwood I'd keep.

As what?

A tour guide. His particularly speciality being to point out where the lavs are should any tourists ask.

Actually to be fair I think Westwood is a decent lad and he's good enough as a squad player in the championship. By all means cash in if we get a good bid, but unlike some I wouldn't be actively looking to shift him like say Richards, Gabby or Lescott who absolutely have to go. I think with a bit more guidance and a more inspiring atmosphere within the club, on and off the pitch, he'll step up his game.

Something not adding up here, we've turned down £2m for Sinclair, who if we hold onto we'll be paying 60k / week...!!
He didn't look like the cornerstone of a promotion challenge to me.

Where are you getting £60,000 per week from?

Some report in the Birmingham Mail so there is a fair chance it's horseshit I suppose, but on the other hand we bought him from Man City and for peanuts so it's possibly true.

[Clark W Griswold]

Correction, Daily mail, but equally shite of course.

[aj2k77]

£60k p/w I know we've been stupid but not that stupid.

[tomd2103]

£60k p/w I know we've been stupid but not that stupid.

Agbonlahor and N'Zogbia on a combined wage of £120k+ p/w?

[Diablo]

£60k p/w I know we've been stupid but not that stupid.

Never under estimate the frightening power of stupidity

[aj2k77]

Gabby is our clown prince and Nzog was signed for bucket loads and was though of as a decent signing at the time.

Sinclair had sat on a bench for a few years, apart from pissing the Boggies around a bit. We signed him for £2m quid.

[Nastylee]

There is no way Sinclair gets 60k. I actually think he would be a key player in the championship and I'm glad we're holding firm. Too many times we give players away and I think £6m is a fair asking price for a striker.

That may have been your view of NZog at the time; it certainly wasn't mine ....
