Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Tony Erdington]

wheres this come from Ayew to the olbiyun?

really hope this is not true, any way to go to the olbiyun is a step down, small club

[Villafirst]

There's no release clause on Ayew? If not, we could ask £25M and the baggies wouldn't shell out that amount. Anyway, Dr Xia said he isn't going anywhere.

[Nastylee]

There's no way the Doc would sanction that. He wants to be loved by the fans so selling to a rival is the last thing he'd do. It would be terrible PR.

[Steve67]

Sinclair to Celtic confirmed.

[Nelson Lodge]

Now that Sinclair has gone and the number 9 shirt is vacant can we please recruit someone who is fit to wear it. A proper centre forward.

You mean like the one we've just spent £12m on?

[Gareth]

If we are going to get another centre half would be v happy with one of our opposition today, Tom Lees. 

Would love the defence come 1st September to be

Cyrus Christie / Tom Lees / Tommy Elphick / Jordan Amavi

Sure it'll only take the thick end of 20m to make it happen :-)

Where will Lescott & Agnonlahor go? US or China or Qatar?

[paul_e]

As I said, McCormack wasn't the striker we desperately needed in by today, it was someone to replace Gestede not someone to play with him.  You just aren't going to win games if your number 9 is totally bypassed for 90minutes.

A good right back is needed as well, Hutton just isn't good enough and I can't work out why so many people don't see it.

[Matt Collins]

Number 9 definitely still the priority for me

Probably central midfielder next.

[aj2k77]

Number 9, right back, centre mid, attacking mid. Bare minimum and have to be players that walk in to the side, not that that's much of a benchmark.

In that order and I'd accept them not getting the last of those if they get the other 3 right.

Yep. This. I'd like a bit more experience and some more decent characters too. Elphick and McCormack is a good start. They have the right mentality.
Get Jedinak and one of Hernandez and Kodija in. Then a decent right back and someone who will create and/or score goals from midfield in this division. There's not a CM at the club I'm happy to be starting to be honest. A player like Tish has potential but would definitely benefit from playing with someone like Jedinak by his side.

[SteveN]

Whatever we do this window I think it might take another two windows to get the squad we need together.

[supertom]

Our next six won't be as difficult as this. On paper...
gulp.

We better get some players in quick.
