Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[brian green]

Yellow card Mr Malandro.   Goochie is a cricketer.  I have heard Botham refer to him a number of times.

Yellow card Mr Newby.  That is not a person.  The surname is an opticians test card reading left to right, top to bottom.

Even if we moved on the gang  of 5 undesirables - we then have to deal  with the likes of Sinclair and Westwood.

Sinclair would in my opinion still struggle at the level we will be playing this  season.  Westwood might and I say might actually find his feet at this level.

As for players in - some of the NI players worth looking at, but plenty lower down the leagues who could do a job.  Quite obviously from the dross  we have brought in recently the scouting programme  needs a  full review.

Anyone take Steven Davis back? If he were to become surplus at Southampton and was ready to drop down a level (he's getting to that age). I think he's exactly the sort of player we need. Reliable, combative and has a bit of quality. He's a solid player and would also be a positive influence in the dressing room.

He extended his contract last week, so he'll be an old man if was ever to happen.

I mean the talk of Steven Davis and Shane Long just isn't going to happen.

Which in itself is quite a depressing thought!

[frank black]

Dwight Gayle £10 mil?!! If that's the case we should be selling Ayew for £20 mil.

Good god the world of football has gone mad.

I see there's a link with McCormack today, I'm really not too keen on that idea.

I reckons we will see some German based players coming in as they are more affordable than UK based players. But we will have to wait and see due changes to exchange rate from impact of brexit.

It's been 5 years since those deals might have happened.

UK based players will be attractive price wise for European clubs after brexit

witness Fabregas' warning - http://www.espnfc.com/english-premier-league/story/2902089/cesc-fabregas-says-brexit-is-a-mistake-and-damaging-for-the-premier-league

good job the TV deal with premier league clubs was signed before the brexit vote....

Those in our squad that may be interesting Euro clubs became a lot more attractive price wise this week too

[aj2k77]

I'd have voted Out if I had realised it made someone signing Onegoalayear more likely!

can score goals at this level no doubt, but he'll be 30 in August. not sure where the value in spending 10m odd on him is

[OCD]

The owner may be prepared to throw £10m at a player if it gets us promoted. I don't think Xia is going to be one to mess around.

[KRS]

I don't know much about Ross McCormack but he's scored 17 and 21 goals in the last 2 seasons respectively for Fulham. The simple formula of scoring goals and not conceding at the other end is what will get us out of the Championship sooner rather than later so not such a bad suggestion.

edit: McCormack was the second highest goalscorer last season and joint fourth highest for assists.
