Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Ron Manager]

We are stuck with Richards. David Moyes doesn't want him.

[Villafirst]

Hutton isn't good enough. End of. Disappointed that a top class RB hasn't been brought in. I have serious doubts that any more money is available for transfers without raising funds first. Mostly the same dross still there.

It's not about raising money first, however many times you say it.

Mostly the same dross still there.....

But that doesn't mean we have to sell to buy, it just means the same dross is still there.

Hopefully the fantastic manager and tactician (so his mates and some press lead you to believe) Tim Sherwood will be back in work (one day) and snap him up.

[N'ZMAV]

Tim got more out of Micah than Garde could.
Obviously I'm comparing two different turds here....

You forgot to mention that he doesn't score goals, less than 1 in 6 for everton.  He has had, in his career, about a season and a half of looking capable of scoring at a decent level, he's right up there with the worst suggestions I've seen from footy.

I quite like Kone actually, he's not that bad a player. I didn't realise he was 32 though.

[mr underhill]

obviously there is no suggestion at all that we are in for him, but if we are looking at players of that ilk to fire us back into the PL, we're fooked.

Decent looking player but doesn't score or create so it would be like signing Heskey again.

cost peanuts though didn't he and was abusing the club for a couple of years. Well rid and his salary can be better used elsewhere.

Losing confidence and form (behind an utterly shit team) is hardly akin to abusing the club.  Neither is spitting a bit of chewing gum in one game.  Him moving on is probably best for all, but hysterical language like this does no one any credit.

[Richard E]

From the E&S:-

"There has also been feverish speculation in Portugal that Benfica forward Talisca – reportedly worth £20million – is on Wolves’ radar, although Liverpool are also interested in the 22-year-old and it’s believed he’s not close to moving to Molineux."

Not picking at you here Chris, but Guzan's about the 11th player I've seen being almost absolved of responsibility for last season as they played in a poor team. To my mind, every player who contributed to last season was poor, including Ayew. They team was poor because of them, not in spite of them. I'd say that was the case for the past 3 seasons too, the only real exceptions being Benteke and Delph, who played consistently well in otherwise poor teams.

I'm not absolving him of responsibility at all.  I think he played very poorly last season.  All I'm saying s there is a difference between being short of confidence / form and 'abusing the club.' 

[RussellC]

You're right, and I completely agree with that. I've just written on the Guzan depreciation thread that I think it's very unfair to group him with the players who's attitudes stank last season. He was shit, but I don't doubt for a second that he cared.

I also thought part of their deal was they would spend £15- 20 mil in total a year , so that would be all their
 money spunked ?

Nice after Ayew on loan?
