Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Chris Jameson]

I hadn't realised that Paddy Riley character was still at the club. How?

I hope they can sort Chester out for Saturday.

This start is what I was afraid of when I said last week that I was a bit dissapointed at the amount of business we had done Clampy (of course they have done McCormack since then which I am very happy with).  Whether the squad is too big or not, it is simply not good enough.  We cannot afford for a losing streak to set in this season.

Apparently he's quick, which is a definite bonus.

Is Chester a left or right side central defender?

Right sided.  Watched him play for Wales for a few years now and rate him.  Comfortable on the ball and pretty mobile.  More than capable of playing in the Premier League, but hasn'rt featured much at Albion as Pulis followed the MON blueprint of buying a centre half for a lot of money and then immediately trying to convert him into a full back.

I'm not sure why you added my name your post to be honest.

For me, it probably hasn't been for the lack of trying though. Deals can be complicated and can take time. It's just not as easy buying who you want. I wish it was as simple as that but it's not.

As for the bad start, Roy Keane was bottom with Sunderland very early on but they finished champions I think. It can be done but confidence, mentality and mindset has got to change, whoever you bring in.

It was just we were discussing it last week.

[Richard E]

We made a pretty dire start to the season last time we were at this level. I think it is too early to tell yet how the season will pan out.

Agreed Richard, although at the moment it's very hard to see through the shit we're at present witnessing.  I'm keeping the faith though like I've always done.

[Hookeysmith]

Didn't our Tony state that we would have someone for the mid this week - surely not Middle of defence?

[Gareth]

Daily Mail saying that we've decided not to let Bennett go to Sheff Wed as we don't want him going rival (!!!)

Wonder if it's more likely that RDM has watched two thoroughly incompetent LB displays this week & thinks Joe couldn't do worse?

Well we need to get rid of one of them, we can't realistically continue having 3 ''senior'' left backs, all on decent money, with one never getting a look in even in the matchday squad, it's no good for the finances and Bennett, whatever value he has, if any, will disappear.

There's also the fact he's garbage.

[PeterWithe]

 I cant see that being true, he's nowhere near good enough for the PL but probably too expensive for the 3rd division.

So when they agreed to let Bennett go to Sheff Wed, did not they not realise they were in the same division as us?

With Richards, Hutton, Cissokho, and Amavi not exactly impressive I wouldn't let him leave either.

None of the above are good enough. We've got "up to £50m" to spend so why worry about shit players like these
