Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

According to mirror were signing Pantilimon for £2m. Odd

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

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.

And let's not forget that Ayew forced his way out of L'Orient last summer so wouldn't bet against round 2 happening over next 5 weeks

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

Yeah, even Aaron Hughes has been picked up by some Indians this week.

That would be really strange tbh, Bunn and Stead are good enough back up

[OCD]

Presumably someone at the Mirror has seen us sell Guzan, are too dumb to realise we've already signed Gollini and have just made up the story. I think we've got higher priorities for that £2m to go towards.

He is about 6 foot 7 aint he lol. There again he looks like a midget in goal, he is shocking, think you are right re the link

He was the second choice at Man City when our keeper coach was there. Bunn is nowhere near good enough, so for 2m considering money is not an issue getting the right squad is, it makes sense. Gollini may suffer loss of form, or injury, and I would not want to rely on Bunn and Steer if 3-6 points is the difference between promotion.

[Matt Collins]

He's apparently on 50k a week

[robbo1874]

Are we being linked with anyone? 

It's very quiet on the 'in' front which is what Dr Tony predicted for this week however it'd be nice be linked to some new players as the deals usually take a few weeks to sort themselves out.

Yes, the carthorse that is Ricky Lambert and Patrick Bamford. If those pair come in and Ayew goes god help us. If Ayew stays and Bamford comes in as well that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world though I guess

But imagine this potential horror show ... Gestede, Lambert, Bamford

Slowest forward line since Micky Quinn and Akinfenwa

bamford has also been linked with Celtic I believe.

[robbo1874]

I'll take a wild guess it's Delph.

Yes probably was.I wasn't thinking straight.

To be honest, I'm not too bothered about Gana going.  I do think we need a replacement though and I would hope to see an Elphick type signing brought in to provide a bit of stability in midfield.  If we had that type of player then we could partner them with either Tshibola, Sanchez, Gardner or even Veretout.  A Villa fan I work with pulled a face when I mentioned him earlier, but I honestly think Charlie Adam would be an ideal signing for us. 

i think Sanchez would do quite well in a championship side and would be inclined to include him in the starting lineup.

I haven't much confidence in either of them. Pants as no 1 and Gollini as developing no 2?

[brian green]

Sorry Robbo but Sanchez in the time he was on was very error prone against Cambridge.  I have tried hard to like him but I brick it every time he gets the ball these days.  His brain speed has not quickened to the pace of the English game.  Gardner and Tish look much more solid.

[ldavfc4eva]

Can't see another keeper coming in until either Bunn or Steer go, and if it's for Panilimon I can't see the point. If we were going back up then yes I can see the point, bit like Boro and them signing Guzan and Valdes. I think we are fine for GK's at the minute.

We need to prioritise other areas, centre midfield for me especially if Gana is leaving.

Might be over the hill but has Flamini gone anywhere? Released by Arsenal and a very decent player still with bags of experience, him and Tish as deep lying central midfielders with Westwood and Sanchez and Gardner as back up?
