Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[BegbieAV]

Take a gamble on Assombalonga he's scored 65 in 139 appearances. Big man, little man with Rudy up front.

Sessengnon and anichebe have left the Albion. I think Clarke signed anichebe there and initially got a song out of him. Both would be worth a trial though although maybe not an upgrade on what we already have to be fair

Anchovy has not really done it either at the Bitters or at Bluescouse.
Sessegnon blows very hot and cold.
No, from me.

Looking at the line ups yesterday what we need more than anything is pace in midfield and up front, am hoping the Reading guy fits the bill but definitely not Anichibe etc

[mr underhill]

I've had my fill of 2nd rate players looking for one more bumper pension top up.  Young and talented is the way to go, as we have with Gollini and the Reading guy (hopefully). We have enough seasoned players already to supplement yoof.

I essentially agree but would still like a few pro's sprinkled around the place who can guide the young players in the right way. They would have to be the right types though - not one's looking for their final pay day but one's who are genuine pro's. Elphick looks to be one, Petrov would be another if he's fit - those types.

[Toronto Villa]

Interesting that early reports are that some of our pros have really knuckled down this pre season. They won't all be here come the end of the window but you have to wonder who will be. At least encouraging. Bringing in Elphick and Petrov has been good moves and I can see Stan staying in some capacity even if not on a playing contract, which I believe he'll earn.

[Steve67]

I think we are a decent striker away from being a really decent squad. Bennett and Amavi down the left might be some force this season.

[Toronto Villa]

Jack needs good leadership and mentoring. If he gets it he'll tear the Championship a new one. I like that he has posted a few things about Stan recently. Precisely the type of guidance he needs.

Was thinking that myself TV.  Far better than knocking about with the likes of Captain Marvel Gabby

With Elphick & Stan in the dressing room, I severely doubt there will be any of the 'f**king around' behaviour from last season.

I'd love for us to get someone in like Rashford. He's going to be marginalised at Man U because Mourinho will want his own players in that cost him money. He's never really embraced youth or younger players. I think he'd be superb in the Championship.

[KRS]

So we currently have Ayew, Gestede, Gabby and Kozak...how many of these should be sold and replaced?

I can't see us being able to get rid of Gabby and I'd like us to keep hold of Ayew, so it would be Gestede and Kozak to go for me.

Rashford will have a big season at Man Utd. No doubt he'd destroy in the Championship but he's very much a PL player and will get plenty of game time at Man Utd this season.

I agree but I think he's gone a bit above the Championship now, there would be plenty of offers from the PL I suspect.  Of a similar ilk is that Ihenacho (sp?) at Man City.  Ideally we'd arrange a two year loan (like Celtic have with Roberts) on the basis that they would stay if we are promoted.
