Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[in exile]

We could give Richards free to a good home.

I'd give him free to a bad one

[Tony Erdington]

Ordinarily I would have agreed that the way a team finishes is more important than how it starts but for us a poor start will revert players and fans back to type of last season.  We desperately need a flyer of a start.

gets a yes from me

[Matt Collins]

I'd take a solid start giving us the chance to bed players in

RDM needs a new striker and fast. Even if we have to pay over the odds, the potential rewards are worth it. Very disappointed with the line up in Nantes. Once again, like Black, he left the creativity on the bench in Grealish. I don't get it.

Vertout could become our Pogba!

I would drive him to either the Sty or the Thornbush.

i would hope that the next two games see us start with our strongest starting 11

midfield still looks woefully short

I agree that a new striker really should be on the "urgent" transfer targets list, but the lineups in these friendlies are about RDM seeing the players in action and giving as many players as possible some game time. At the end of the day, he can't decide who to keep and who not to keep if he doesn't see them play. You could even argue that Grealish needs less game time than some of the others as he would already been identified as being one of the better players that he wants to keep.

But it depends who that striker is. It's not as simple as just paying over the odds, it's whether the selling club will let him go. They are working on a deal so they obviously know who they want.

If it takes to the end of August to get the right striker, so be it. Not ideal obviously. But it was about this time last year that we went on an exciting trolley dash across Europe and look how that turned out

That's exactly what I was thinking the other day. All these people who think Dr Tony should be splashing the cash should remember last season.

That Jonathan Kodjia chap has apparently said on instagram 'I think about my future'. Sounds like he's had his head turned.

Yeah I saw that too.

Perhaps agent Baker has had a word!

[Matt Collins]

Of all the strikers we've been linked to, kodjia is the one that looks closest to what I think we need

McCormack looks more like a replacement for ayew

But I haven't seen anywhere near enough of either to be confident about that. I thought gestede would do well until I saw him play live and I haven't changed my view of him since
