Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Ron Manager]

I see Callum Robinson has joined Preston permanently

Shame really but after his early promise he never improved.

[Ron Manager]

More Carlton Palmer than Paul Pogba I would think.

[ldavfc4eva]

Knowing us he will be more Sylla than Palmer, seems a lot to pay but young,English and promising always means way over the odds.

[PaulWinch again]

£5 million really isn't that much in this market.

[supertom]

Clarke obviously knows the lad well. In principal he's the type of player we need in midfield. Lets hope he's better than Sylla.

[N'ZMAV]

Charles N'Zogbia is at Sunderland

[PaulWinch again]

Sunderland are fucking mental.

[Toronto Villa]

Sunderland are fucking mental.

I told you that helicopter was on its way there. Took almost 6 years mind you...

[brian green]

Nothing grows in Sunderland  He hasn't got the wardrobe for the north east.

The Reading journo rated him saying that they should build a team around him. They rejected Norwich's bid and said they should only sell if a bid of 6 or 7 mil came in. So, he clearly is rated.

What I refuse to do this summer is get carried away with anyone we are linked with. There seemed to be a real fervour last year when we were going for up and coming talent, like Veretout, Gueye et al. Interestingly, I recall many thinking Ayew had an edge to him and wasn't flavour of the month.  If Tshibola signs, great. If not, oh well. He does look a beast though and the type of player we really could do with.

[brian green]

What nationality is Tish?  Will we lose him for the Africa Cup of Nations?😠

[eamonn]

£5 million really isn't that much in this market.

For a player from another Championship c!ub I imagine it would be one of the bigger fees this summer.

[adrenachrome]

Charles N'Zogbia is at Sunderland

Training with them, apparently.

The Daily Heil:

N'Zogbia has worked with Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce before, having been at Newcastle United when Allardyce joined the club in 2007.

Allardyce brought N'Zogbia back in from the cold, putting aside speculation that he would depart St. James' Park to hand him a start in his first competitive game. N'Zogbia's form for Newcastle that season would earn him a fresh five-year contract.

According to Football League World, of whose credibility I have no idea:

Aston Villa look set to go head to head with Sunderland for French full back Frederic Guilbert, according to a report in French news outlet France Football.

The French under-21 international could be set for a move to England with his contract set to expire in 2017, however according to reports, it remains unclear whether Villa will move for him now or wait until 2017.

Guilbert currently plays for French side Bordeaux, where he has impressed with a string of fine performances for the former French champions. After beginning his career with Caen, he has worked his way through the ranks to find himself with Jocelyn Gorvennec’s team.
