Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

He looks like a bloke you'd see in a Cereal Cafe.

I have to ask, what's a cereal cafe?

Don't pretend you don't know. You live in them.

Google it in images and you'll see the Twat brothers.

Yep, just did. Those two look like your bog standard wankers eating and selling cereal to mugs who can't make their own cereal. Jedinak is more like a bloke you'd meet in jail on a lonely night or down at the docks.

Edit: Allegedly

How did that Nahki Wells play, I saw his effort that hit the post?

Nowhere near enough pace up front.

No real recognised striker on the bench.  Gestede was blowing, yet there was no real option to come on. 

Wells made a difference when he came on.  He's raw and not great technically, but caused us problems and didn't give our defenders much rest.

He changed the game whne he came on, or at least their attacking intent and tactics altered

[PeterWithesShin]

Unless he's injured I don't get why RHM wasn't on the bench. Green was our only attacking option, so when Amavi is your second best attacking option on the bench you know you can't change much.

Agreed and Ayew seems to want to play off a front man rather than leading the line.

Traore is a circus player imo and Kozak was never good enough. Leaving only RHM and Gabby as our other options up top.

Still think we might see Ayew leave before end of window, doesn't really fit at the moment in the position he wants to play. Genuine right sided winger like Victor Moses might suit us better or even Diouf at Stoke as an option up top.

Agree re Ayew. Not convinced he really wants to be here and if we get £15m we can replace with better

He does look a bit isolated there on the right. He had possession there and was looking for help but it often didn't come. I was worried he would be sent off too after his booking. Niggly pushing, shoving and arguing could have developed into a red card if he wasn't careful.

Excellent when he came on, was buzzing around and a focal point upfront for them.

In fairness I'm not sold on the 4-2-3-1 RDM is going with....once Tshibola tired in the second half our midfield was overrun again.

Once Gestede stops scoring I'd take him out, have McC and Ayew as front two, play Jack more centrally behind them and have three centrally. Would need Amavi also in the team to make it work as full backs would need to provide the width.

Not sure we would be able to replace him with someone with better quality, but a natural wideman who is willing to work back would be a good addition.

Depends which bars you drink in, sweetheart

[ozzjim]

Ashley Young would be brilliant for us as a wide option now.  Works hard but good going forward too. Pace up front is a huge worry.  We need another midfielder after Jedinak too. Nowhere near enough depth.

I think there's a lot in that. Though we don't really have the midfielders suited to playing the 'shuttle' positions on the right and left of midfield (like Delph and cleverley were)

I think RDM likes the 4231. Either way, we definitely need a new option for the 9 position. Ayew has played there but RDM doesn't seem to think he fits the bill. I imagine ayew would rather play there than on the right
