Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Rudy Can't Fail]

According to the Daily Record we're hold out for £5m and £6m for Sinclair. Celtic have offered us £3m. I'd snap their hand off and send him up there today but he'd probably get lost around Carlisle and end up in Wales.

Cheers guys, at least it sounds genuine then, good riddance!

[OCD]

I'm not sure what exactly Sinclair has done in his stay with us to double his value. £3m sounds fair - it would be better to get it done than risk them losing interest.

Personally I'd be accepting all these bids for Clark, Westwood, Sinclair etc.

Dr Tony isn't going to be a charity forever just like Lerner wasn't. He certainly won't be continually funding decent budgets if we don't get promoted very soon.

Plus it helps balancing the books as we then don't get bloated wage bills and squads like we did halfway through the Lerner era.

I feel the sticking point is RDM sees those three as key parts of his squad/first 11 this season which will provoke lively debate on here if the results don't come!

[brian green]

I don't think Tony has behaved or will behave like a charity.  Unlike our late unlamented owner he is a competent businessman.  If we get back into the Premiership his investment will have almost doubled in value.  He knows that the Premiership is where you have to be.  He knows what it costs. Lerner hid under the table and wished very hard.

I can't understand why we're willing to give Guzan away free but are holding out for £6m for Sinclair. I'd snap their hand off for £3m. Preferably Celtic not Newcastle so he can't score his inevitable goal against us.

[PeterWithesShin]

Because we have 4 keepers and Guzan has 1 year left on his contract would be my guess.

The other thing about selling him to Celtic is that it can't come back and hurt us.
God forbid we sold him to another championship club and he somehow remembered he is supposed to be a footballer and was productive for them.

Ross Mccormack close to Norwich move apparently.

Why are we once again sitting about doing nothing?  Pay what Fulham want and go and get him Villa.

[ldavfc4eva]

Wouldn't mind him or Rhodes at boro if he isn't going to get much game time there this season. Definitely need a new striker either way.

There's a reason teams haven't touched him higher up the chain. Usually comes back from pre-season unfit and over weight and although he does score goals it's at the expense of the team as he does vary little work elsewhere around the pitch meaning all his running is done for him and the team is moulded around him. not for me.

We need somebody more mobile. There is a genuine interest in Kodjia at Bristol and I'd prefer him.

I think we all know that if Villa were to spend £10 million on him who the first person to question the wisdom of such a deal would be.

[passitsideways]

I can see why we'd want that much for Sinclair and why Celtic might be willing to pay it even - piss-easy league, playing in comfortably the best team there, and Sinclair could get 20 league goals easily in the SPL. I do hope there's an inference that the reason we're asking for such a price is because he's shown up and looked at least reasonably motivated, because I'm sure we wouldn't bother if his attitude was so poor that cutting our losses would be the best option.

[SoccerHQ]

Not fussed on McCormack.

We had similar in Bent who scored at a reasonable rate for 18 months but we weren't challenging the top 6 at anytime.

As odd as it is sometimes a striker that only scores can be to the detriment of the team...where have Fulham finished last two seasons again? Didn't they sign McCormack to get them promotion?
