Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Man at War]

found a quote from Jedinak

Favourite Away Ground?

Villa Park , although i should say Goodison Park as we had 2 wins in 6 months there. I like Villa Park. I didn't realise what a huge structure it was and the field was like a carpet.

Rather keep Westwood for this season. He's ten times the player Gardner is.

It would make more financial sense to keep Gardner as a reserve than Westwood.  £6m and saving on wages could equal a far more effective player coming in.

[Grande Pablo]

If Westwood goes, and we get Jedinak would someone like Will Hughes be a stupidly insane suggestion?

Hughes & / or Hendrick would be wonderful.

[sickbeggar]

mebbe Westwood will play with jedinak and/or Ledley. Not sure he's the most likely midfielder to get booted out

Westwood on his bike according to the Mirror. Rejoice!

I rate Dyche, but having a boner for Westwood makes me seriously doubt him. What the fuck is he seeing that I can't?

God knows but let's hope he doesn't come to his senses till after he's took him off our hands.

He already has Lowton, what next? Bennett, Okore and Helenius. That'd be nice.

Westwood is one of those players managers rate higher than fans. Poor mans Carrick. He isn't the worst midfielder on our books,, better than Vertout and Sanchez for starters, but has no particular strengths. If he was a colour it would be beige. Wont be missed.

I don't think Westwood is anywhere near as bad as some of you think.  There are far greater problem players in the squad than him and he may be useful to us this season.

TBAR at it again. Expect Jedinak AND Ledley to sign, both at BMH today undergoing medicals! Oooh, I do hope so.

They said a deal for Danny Ings was done three months ago.

Ha ha, very true. I know I shouldn't, but they are saying that De Laet and Chester medical today, Jedinak and Ledley set for tomorrow. The two strikers coming in are Hernandez and Bamford.

The other thing about Westwood is he's so deeply entrenched in a culture of failure here it might just be best for both parties that he moves.

Useful as in makes up the numbers Chris?

[villadelph]

He offers nothing. He's a poor mans Cleverley. Can't cover for defenders, can't play dangerous forward passes, can't beat a defender off the dribble, can't score, hasn't paired well with a single CM since he's been here. He can trap a ball and run (aimlessly at that).. that's it.

Bye.

I agree, I've never really understood the level of dislike for him, he's not brilliant but he is good enough for midtable in the premier league.  I think his biggest flaw is that he's not very big and therefore needs someone dominant alongside him, it's not really his fault that the only player who has done that job effectively in his time here was Sylla for a few months.  Delph added a lot of energy but was another small midfielder so the 2 of them needed a bruiser with them.

[chrisw1]

Useful as in he has a bit of quality on the ball, keeps possession quite well and has a decent pass.  I suspect with good players around him he would do a good job in this division.
