Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Clark W Griswold]

Controversial I know but Lescott is the one out of last seasons shit pile I would hold onto as 4th choice centre back / 3rd choice left back. I thought despite his fuckwittedness he was slightly better than some of the other defenders last season and he's another one that might be ok dropping down a division. And without his cronies around him he might be better too.

Not sure. He's another year older and was hardly a cross between McGrath and Beckenbauer last season.

It might be controversial but I agree. I'd still rather Lescott at centre half than Clark.

He was our best defender by a mile in the Bristol Rovers friendly.

Yeah, I think for me it would be 1 Elphick 2 New player 3 Okore 4 Lescott 5 Clark (who has thankfully gone) 6 Baker

Where Ayew is concerned you only have to look back to last summer to know that he will force his way out if he wants to go.

For me so long as he is replaced it wouldn't bother me one iota if he goes, don't see him as a prolific goal scorer & that stupid, stupid red card vs West Ham (day after transfer window shut, rejected transfer bid??) was so unprofessional.

Is he a striker / winger / number 10?

Now we have McCormack I think we need strikers who actually play on the shoulders of defenders not 2/3 of them in the hole & no one up top.

I think it looks like its going to be Elphick and Baker as starting with Okore 3 and Lescott 4. we also have Toner to try and blood in. My issue with Lescott is that when he was good he was really good but when he was bad he literally looked like a drunk dad playing football with the kids at the end of a wedding

[mr underhill]

Baker ahead of Okore is weird imo

Agree than Lescott was poor in some games but Baker is poor at some point in every game and it nearly always ends up costing. If we play him regularly we might as well throw the bastard white towel in now :-)

I wonder if RDM is one of those types who is particular about having a right-footed CB on the right and a left-footed one on the left.

Agree with that. Baker's a car crash waiting to happen and I'm surprised he's still a Villa player.

Baker's more of a Dodgem than a car.  He must have improved immeasurably if he is picked ahead of Okore.

I knew this Ayew thing would come up sooner or later. At the moment we have no idea what he wants to do, but if he has indicated he wants out then that's fine by me

Like Gana, he was one of the only bright spots of last season but we just can't keep players that don't want to be here giving their all (that's IF he doesn't want to, or more to the point if his 'God' that's guiding his future doesn't want to of course)

NOBODY in this current squad is too good for the club and the Championship including him. But if rumours are true that we've been quoted 10-13m for Kodija then Ayew has to be in the 15m bracket - unless we've inserted yet another daft release clause

[Edvard Remberg]

So we have:
RDM
RHM
RM
and pursuing RM

Good we aren't playing against RM
