Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[mr underhill]

are you mad? Get a sense of proportion and humour.

on second thoughts don't - just join the labour party where that sort of curmudgeonly censorship would fit right in

Got to be honest I thought Tony would throw he weight around a bit more in the transfer market.  I appreciate there's some time to go, but the activity so far is very modest.  I think if Randy was still in charge he would be getting pelters by now.

I genuinely think we've just got too many players at present. Regardless of budget has been made available for transfers we've still got to maintain a wage-bill that won't breach FFP.

Add to that the fact that I think RDM is still undecided on a number of players, Sinclair, Bennett, etc. 

If they were basing it on pre-season performances I'd be keeping Joe Bennett and letting Sinclair go, he was a total passenger on Saturday contrast that with Jordan Ayew who despite the daily speculation about his transfer gave his best effort and scored a cracking goal late on. If this is an indication of how Scott trains it is no wonder he's often left on the bench. Can see a few outgoings in the next week before a couple of new bods come in time for the Boro game.

It's not fucking censorship it's just pointing out that there can be a tendency oh here that when someone makes a reasonable, not that contentious point, for people to jump right down their fucking throats.  Is that clear enough for you?

I seem to recall you telling me off a couple of months ago on another thread for saying that a demonstration wasn't going to be "the first day at the Somme" ;-)

Now that Boro have got Negredo, we should be going all out for Jordan Rhodes imo.

Can we both take a deep breath and stop shouting at each other please?

We definitely need a striker of that type - a clinical finisher who operates more-or-less solely in the box - and there are seemingly plenty of options; Bamford, James Wilson, Kodjia, Rhodes, Nakhi Wells, etc.

[Chico Hamilton III]

We need several new players. Last season 's squad might not be too shit for this division but, to a man, they showed last year that they lack the kind of bottle we need in the Championship. We don't want shit houses thank you.

[PeterWithesShin]

Even before allowing for any of the kids playing a part this season, our squad is too big to be bringing in players before we've got rid of some. Take the back 5, by my reckoning we currently have 4 keepers (counting Brad as he's still here), 3 LB, 5 CB and 3 RB (I'm counting Richards there rather than as a CB and Bacuna). And it's the same pretty much everywhere on the pitch.

Ban this person please. I don't appreciate reading comments like this.

this is the point, we have too many players, I am pretty sure that the focus is on moving some out to create some space.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Apparently a fee has been agreed with Sunderland for Richards. Now with Moyes replacing Fat Sam let's pray the deal still goes through.

I'm pretty sure we'll see thing start to speed-up next week. By then we'll possibly have lost Guzan, Sanchez, Veretout, Gil and possibly Sinclair. RDM should then be in a position to focus more on incomings.

Jesus Christ. Where's that orange dot gone??

A fee?! They actually want to give us some money for him?! The worst player I've seen at Villa in a long, long time, particularly at centre-back.
