Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[PaulWinch again]

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.

Full of positivity as always. A thirty year old who no doubt costs of £10 million no thanks.

I agree, as much as I want Villa to bring new players in, this does not make financial sense and we are a business after all. I know nothing about Kodjia but that looks to be a better deal.

[Toronto Villa]

One week without signing someone and Norwich possibly paying a nuts figure for a 30 year old and LTA is losing his mind.

[OCD]

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.

How different might things have been though if we had signed Bent instead of Heskey though?

It won't be nuts if he scores the goals that get Norwich up.  He's proven in the Championship and we need goal scorers.  Mccormack is far better than any of the strikers we have imo.

To me its a no brainer.

McCormack supposedly has a £12m release clause, so smeg knows how much more he'd cost if we join and start a bidding war!

We need proven quality, not punts on potential.

[PeterWithesShin]

We already have a not exactly mobile striker that can score at that level, why would we spend £12m on another one? We need a player similar in style to Ayew if we assume he will be off.

Proven quality? So good he plays for Fulham rather than Manchester United. Norwich are desperate enough to buy him then fair play to them. It's about getting up and staying up, This player won't play often enough in the Premiership to be worth the cost.

Kodjia scored 20 goals last season in a shit side, he's hardly a punt.

Agree. He looks exciting, and would thrive for us. I don't get the clamour for McCormack.

He's hardly made Fulham any better despite his goals. He appears to be one of those players that doesn't contribute much more than goals. So a lot like Bent where other parts of our game would suffer to get him the ball. He's a good player but he's not at all worth what is being asked to get him at his age. So if Norwich want him good for them. I see no reason at all to panic at this point in the pre season. No doubt players will come and many will go. Just calm down and give the manager time to do his job properly.

I would still like to see us go for Bamford, he was excellent at Boro and would compliment Ayew or Gestede IMO. I think we need 2 strikers ideally, over 46 games with injury, fatigue, loss of form etc. Bamford and Kodija would give us a decent group.

More worried about bodies in midfield at the moment, and creative options if Jack is not in form or fit. I actually don't think, if Richards and a couple of others have gone, Ravel Morrison is such a bad idea considering he has done it in the division before and would be a calculated gamble. Interesting 6 weeks ahead to get this squad ready though.

[Matt C]

Kodjia & Bamford would be more like it.

[N'ZMAV]

I think we should look at Rhodes from Boro - I don't think they'll use him much this season. There's no better at this level at the moment.
