Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[peter w]

If true than they can have him. Undoubtedly probably our best player last season but to be honest there was a flash of brilliance and a lot of mediocrity. I'd like him to stay but horses for courses this season adn I think Di Matteo and Clarke know what is needed, and who, to get us up.

Dear Hamburg,

Fuck off.

Dr Xia said he's staying

Clark can go, I think Baker will do ok

[peter w]

Obviously we misunderstood. Both he and Ayew are going then. Well that was short-lived.

Fuck off.

I agree. An added bonus to his possible transfer is that we will not have to worry anymore about posters spelling his name correctly.

Who, Clerke or Ayou?

I am disappointed that Norwich signed the Northern Ireland goalkeeper on a free and we were not even mentioned as interested. I hope this Italian is a good deal better than he showed at Telford at the weekend.

What did he do wrong or badly at the Telford game? All I've heard is that we conceded from an unstoppable shot so not sure what else he could have done wrong. Was he flapping at crosses, spilling saves, taking poor goal kicks or something?

The guy was 25 yards out, the keeper had a clear view of it and never even got near it, the early shot seemed to catch him unprepared. His feet were'nt set and it's not like it went in the top corner. Rimmer, Bosnich, Spink or James would have saved it. Granted Guzan wouldnt have bothered.

I watched Spink train at Bodymoor shortly after he was signed. He didn't stop a single shot. I said to the bloke next to me: " I hope we never have to rely on that bloke". Hmmm.

I couldn't offer any information on our new Italian Keeper after watching him on Saturday.  Gordon Banks wouldn't have saved the shot, which was a wonder goal. The Telford Number 9 hit it sweetly and I think off the inside of the post.
He didn't have a proper shot to save or cross to claim in the rest of the game.  He fielded a couple of through balls at the edge of his box and he used the ball quite well and actually hit a very good pass to Sulliman on about the half way line 15 minutes from the end.

Even in the context of comical early judgements it seems a bit odd to be questioning him already. Also McGovern has done very little throughout his career and a few eye catching saves at the Euros don't change that.

The one player who did impress was the Telford keeper.

If their interest is genuine, I wonder if ze Germans would be interested in a loan deal -which could be permanent of we don't secure promotion.

Realistically, Ayew is too good for the Championship (which is why I want him to stay). So he gets to still play at a high standard, we get a decent loan fee, and Hamburg only have a one year commitment, if it doesn't work out.
