Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[tomd2103]

If we could sell Westwood for £6m and buy a better replacement at £8m, I would say that would be £2m very well spent.

I agree.  I think there is a good player hidden within Westwood but I do not think he will improve whilst at Villa and therefore a change should suit all parties.

I'd offer £8-10m for Hughes at Derby (i.e. similar to the price Norwich paid spurs to buy Pritchard) and bring in Jedinak. One for now and one for the future.

Hendrick is probably the one we need to go for if we are going to get a midfielder from Derby.  Chips in with a few goals as well.

                              Gollini
New        Elphick.                Chester.      Amavi
                    Jedinak        Tshibola (or Ledley)
    Ayew.                 McCormack.         New
                                 New

Right back may be De Laet. The forward and the creative midfielder to follow but hopefully two intelligent players like the ones already signed.

For T'Uddersfield the team could be..

                                          Gollini

                         Chester      Elphick     Baker
       
       De Laet         Ledley         Jedinak        Amavi

                         Ayew                        Grealish

                                       McCormack


In a perfect world we'd also say bye to ..

Richards, Gabby, Okore, Sir Len, Cisshoko, Gardner, Pointy, Justhead, Kozak, Bunn, Traore.

I just don't see McCormack being a lone striker.  He's a 'number 10' type player who will play off a forward.  I said it in an earlier post, but we desperately need a bit of pace and movement up front.

I think that system is in keeping with RDM's intention to keep the ball on the carpet but you're right. It would require players willing to get ahead of him which I haven't seen a lot of yet.

Painfully slow midfield pairing, in fact very little pace at all. McCormack needs to play off someone, a Bamford maybe.

Serious question.  Does anyone know if we have re-structured our scouting network and if so, who's who?

We could drop Ledley before we've purchashed him go hell for leather and play Ross alongside two Bamfords if you can't decide which

Looks good to me.  Would even consider pushing Amavi forward and bringing in a more defensively solid left back.

Every time I see jedinak I wonder how his beard compares with olof's.

Its a very poor imitation, even if it is slightly hairier, you can never replicate the original.
No provenance required.

That'd be great.

[Percy McCarthy]

RDM has actually said we're interested in Jedinak now. Hope we get him.

On the ball as usual Chicago Lion.

Paddy is still on the payroll and was spotted taking in a game at Molineux this week. Dr Xia mentioned a technical director will be announced next week.

[dave shelley]

Thanks Eamonn.  How's it going BTW.

[eamonn]

Good, due a trip to the homestead soon. Will have to take in an Athlone or Longford Town game with you at some stage
