Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[SoccerHQ]

What is the consensus on how best to use him? I'm genuinely sketchy about this. I sort of assume he's ideally a Barry style continuity player as opposed to an out and out AM or DM.

When he played he sort of reminded me of a poor man's Milner, he was quite busy and had a decent pass on him.

Maybe we should've played him as a right sided midfielder or something, I just thought he was too lightweight in and out of possession and hasn't settled off the pitch either.

Edit: Don't think he's wanted to know here since Garde got sacked as at least he was playing regularly under him.

Veretout is still around. I'd prefer to see him playing ahead of Gardner

Me too.

Veretout dosen't want to be here though, can only think there's not much interest in him.

Says who?

Genuine question, have I missed something with him?

It was in the Mail a few weeks back that he'd informed the club he didn't want to play in the championship and was open to loan moves.

Since the Marseille loaned fell through nothing but given he can't even make the bench it appears we're just waiting for a club to come in for him close to the deadline.

After the deadline doesn't the 'emergency loan' system kick in. If he hasn't had a move by then and he still wants to go he could go to Coventry or Walsall.

Nope that's been scrapped as of this season.

Same deadline as Premier league.

Some twitter sources are linking Kieran Trippier on loan from Spurs. Would be a great signing IMO. Would prefer to him to De Laet.

From what I saw of him last year that would be a great signing.

Agreed. Tone did mention a couple of loans a few days ago, so fingers crossed.

Trippier from Spurs would be excellent

But knowing how Levy operates, he will cost £5million loan fee and to pay his wages for the remainder of his contract, even though he will only be here a season!

[KevinGage]

Trippier was featuring in that Tottingham side for a big chunk of last season even when Walker was fit and available -think he made a few England squads too.

So don't see him dropping down a league.

Tony tweeted an announcement of a signing at 5pm via twitter.   40 minutes to wait

Got to be Jedinak?  Still hoping we can add a few more, as the bench was not very strong last night.  I think a forward who can add a bit of pace and energy is a must. 

[Mister E]

... The squads still badly missing a winger too ...

What's wrong with Green?

He's a kid. Looks to have a lot of potential but I wouldn't want to rely on a youngster who's yet to produce a goal or an assist in the first-team to be our supply-line for the entirety of a Championship season.

I understand your point, but if he doesn't get the chance to play we won't see goals or assists from him.
This season is perfect for some sensible risk-taking with the youngsters who have the right set of skills and mindset. I hope we see Green, Lyden, Toner, RHM and Davis get a chance to develop in the senior environment; judiciously, of course. Otherwise, they'll just be another set of promising youngsters.

[Matt Collins]

I'd love trippier but spurs rotate their full backs so I can't see it

If he doesn't rate adama we need another proper wide or creative player I think

Green will still get plenty of chances

There are reports that Yedlin might have overtaken Trippier after his loan at Sunderland. So it could be that they are rotating them but he isn't part of that rotation.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I'm hoping Jedinak will take his fellow Aussie, Lyden, under his wing and mentor the lad. I think he has great potential and as Mr E so wisely points out, unless we give our young talent a chance they'll never develop.
