Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[eamonn]

But Charlie seemed so docile and humble on his Match of the Day 2 sofa appearances.

[Gareth]

Charlie Adam has some qualities we need but I would hate us to sign any player who tackles down the achilles-cowardly!

[Dante Lavelli]

Charlie Adam is a massive cheat, which I have no great problem with, we need more nasty players.

The problem is that he is also massive.

He looks like he's eaten Gabby.

He's not the most mobile of players. But he can pick a (forward) pass. Would do well in the Championship I would have thought. He does well enough in the Prem from what I've seen (although I've not seen him regularly only on odd highlights).

No offence, but the fact your opinion is based on the highlights might be the key problem.  He has a great left foot and can try and score from the halfway line, ping long passes etc, but his mobility is awful to the extent that picking him means you need an athlete alongside him  to do his running.  He is not good enough to justify that privilege in my opinion.

Can't we buy this Greizmann fella?

No offence taken. It's not as if I watch Stoke for a whole 90 mins that often (well generally only 2 games a season). I totally get what you're saying. That said I'd be prepared to put money on him being an upgrade on Westwood.

The big issue is that whilst he would be a marginal upgrade on him as a player (when you consider the number of games he miss out banned) as a person I don't want him anywhere near the club.

Birmingham City are considering a move for out-of-contract full-back Kieran Richardson, 31, who was released by Aston Villa earlier this summer. (Birmingham Mail)

Not worth me driving him there so will order him a taxi

What summer?

I think that was that week towards the end of may

[mr underhill]

it was actually May 3rd, in the afternoon.

[Villafirst]

The supposed Tshibola deal seems to have fizzled out. Have to say I'm underwhelmed by dealings so far. Interesting article by Mat Kendrick in the B'ham Mail mentioning that most of the wasters are on the Austria trip and yet promising youngsters like Green, Hepburn-Murphy have been left out.

[mr underhill]

I can't but agree - I know it's a month to kick off and the window is open into September but I expected more activity - mostly with the shite brigade leaving first before fresh faces coming in.

[Clampy]

I'm sure there was an article a while back claiming that no-one would be leaving until RDM got to have a good look at them in pre-season. Maybe things will start moving once they're back.

I thought I read somewhere that he said  alot wouldnt be done until after the Euros etc ?

[Villafirst]

Trouble is, players need time to bed in - especially foreign players in new surroundings etc. We saw the disaster of last season due part in to late arrivals.

I read that too Clampy. Makes sense I suppose. We may want certain players out but if the manager likes them and they're responding in a professional and hard working way, then it makes no sense to RDM to shift them on unless he can replace with better.
