Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

Not good nought for the PL, h is at the right l v l  now.
Add the E

[Clark W Griswold]

Could we do a 'buy one get one free' deal with them on cock up merchant centre backs and offload Clark and Baker at the same time? It would surely relegate them next season.

[KRS]

If he does have a release clause and Baggies want to sign him then I'd have no issues with him going...at his best he is bang average, at his worst he is a complete liability. Baggies have a some what experienced but ageing defensive lineup, will be scrapping in the bottom half of the league again next season and fighting relegation with any of the following teams...

Bournemouth
Burnley
Hull
Middlesbrough
Southampton
Stoke
Sunderland
Swansea
Watford
West Brom

Maybe we could sell Clark and Clarke to two clubs?

In a previous job I remember a lady expressing surprise when a colleague informed her what team he supported.

"Oh you support West Brom?" (confused look)

"Yeah..."

"But I thought you liked the Albion?"

I think maybe we should try to start a bidding war between the two clubs.

[Gareth]

Clark would have to ask himself whether he thinks he's a centre half or left back because he signs for Pulis he'll be played as left back in his usual four centre halves across the back.

[eamonn]

Bridcutt...a name from the past always mangled by the still-missed Mark Fletcher, who when recommending we should sign him, fondly referred to the player as "Birdcunt".

[phantom limb]

I think there's something in this. It could well be part of Pulis's grand master plan, years in the making, to field a team comprised entirely of ok-ish centre halves.

[UK Redsox]

He should have started earlier and sign Dublin, Sutton and Scimeca to play upfront

German club Hamburg have submitted an £8 million offer for Aston Villa striker Jordan Ayew.

The Ghana international has been linked with a move to Bordeaux and Galatasaray following the Villains relegation from the top-flight last season.

Hamburg have now joined the race for the former Lorient striker's signature, as a bid of £8 million would allow Villa to recoup the money they paid for Ayew a year ago, and is generous considering the 24-year-old's goal return, which was slightly better than one every five matches last season.

Ayew was one of Aston Villa’s star performers in the Premier League last season, and it was widely expected that he would leave following their relegation.

He netted seven times in 30 appearances last term in the Premier League

Ah bollocks.  Wanted to keep him.

Hamburg are the German equivilant of us....just haven't got round to being relegated yet although they've given it a right good go over the last 3 seasons.

[AVH87]

Surely we'd expect a profit on him, rather than just recouping roughly the £8m we paid? A 1 in 4 goals to games ratio last season in our train wreck of a side was decent, plus his all-round game is pretty good, and he has a record of 12 goals in 37 internationals for Ghana. Ideally we'd keep him but if we have to sell I think we should hold out for well over £10m.

[sirlordbaltimore]

Is Clarkson better than Clarke? Discuss.

He's better than Richards/Lescott that's for sure

[Duncan Shaw]

If Big Sam doesn't get the England job and is still at Sunderland then I think they'll be comfortably outside a relegation battle, but I agree with the others.

Dear Hamburg,

Fuck off.
