Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[andyh]

No chance that Barry is part of the Gana deal? Probably not as that takes a bit of imagination. Barry would be a good shout to guide the younger players.

Wouldn't he just?!

[b23]

Mr Chincilla Bathhouse himself.

He clearly does not like Raith Rovers.

How would you go about negotiating that then?

"We offer the amount stipulated in Gana's contract to allow us to negotiate terms with him for his transfer"

"Any chance that you fancy giving us your player of the season as well / instead?"

"Thanks, but we'll just stick to paying you the relative pittance that his contract says that we have to"

Yes, the relative 'pittance' expected says it all. Our stock is so low that we can't even envisage recruiting an ex-hero at 35.

Probably.

But what it mainly says is that we can't dictate transfer terms when there are specific release clauses involved.

[dave.woodhall]

And Barry is earning a lot more than we can afford to pay him.

[Chinchilla Bathhouse]

Oh yeah, I'm delighted someone's daft enough to pay for him and I'm desperate to get rid, it's just so bloody unfair. In an ideal world he'd be fucked off to somewhere like Stranraer or Raith. And driven there in a boiling hot Smart car by Gloria Hunniford, with Celine Dion on the car stereo.  Without stopping at the services. The arrogant bastard.

Raithist

I started so trawl the thread but it would have taken ages - who was this post about?

Micah Richards, when it looked as if Sunderland had lost their minds and were about to sign him. Liked the raithest gag, b23, made me laugh.

[supertom]

I would be interested in taking Osman, who would be more realistic than Barry. I think we're lacking a bit of experience in midfield.

[PeterWithesShin]

Everton released Osman. I can't help think there's a reason no one seems to have shown much interest in a free agent.

A 35 year old who is still valued by his club. Would you drop down a division if you didn't have to and was being paid handsomely?

[Malandro]

If we do keep Ayew and Amavi, we will have had a brilliant summer. Sure we will get a few more good players too.

[brian green]

Crikey.  If Tony is spitting feathers over losing Guzan, what would he be like is somebody tried to tap up Jack Grealish? 

[adrenachrome]

It is Gana he is upset about. Which is fair enough,  but what is worrying is that appears he did not know about the release clause.

It sounds like Gana had said he would stay and then turned and done the complete opposite. He's just had his first experience of a footballer's integrity - welcome to the sport Tony.

He clearly does not like Raith Rovers. 

Edit: answered above, thanks CB.
