Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

Yes! Comment now edited.

Midfielder, Winger, Striker, Right back to go.

That's a big ask in a week or so. I'd love it to be true, but a creative player and some pace are our priorities.

Quite possible if we know who we're after. Could be that a lot of work has been done already.

Would have thought that would be the case and the deals just need finalising.  A striker is a priority for me above any other position.

Feel like the Bamford reports have enough to them that he'll be coming in soon, unless he gets a promising PL loan offer.

Edit: Just seen the Traore thread. Oh well, let's get someone who's a bit more ready and willing then.

N'zogbia?

[Dante Lavelli]

Loans typically get agreed near the end of the window, so my prediction is two loans and another two signings.
Three to leave.

[Clampy]

I think another centre half, a striker and maybe another midfielder would see us ok until January.

bamford seems to be holding out for a PL offers

[garyshawsknee]

I'd make a bid for Wells.  Runs in behind defenders, has good movement, has scored goals at this level. Wouldn't be too pricey.

[PaulTheVillan]

Can't we just play Ayew up front? Bamford doesn't excite me at all.

[JJ-AV]

Ayew is an odd one. He's clearly not a winger and we can't get away with playing him there in games like Saturday (if Grealish is in the team).

Think Bamford makes sense though. 17 goals last time he was in the Championship and we definitely need a more fluid striker than Gestede, who for me doesn't suit the way we're lining up.

Still work to be done.

[mr underhill]

I might wel be wrong but didn't Ayew play up front the season before we bought him with some success?

[Leicester_Villian]

Is it worth a shot ......
Amarvi to Liverpool 12 million - they want a left back
Ayew to West Ham 15 million - his brother now injured

The Big Man back home ....Im sure Dr Tony could convince him 30 million

Little outlay ...we have cover at left back and Im not sure about Ayew out wide ........... Would Benetke be tempted???

He'd be my forward, no question. I think he'd frighten the life out of some defences and with some decent supply he'd score a hatful. Not a winger/wing forward for me.

I think he will be better if we can get the ball to him through midfield faster. The clips I saw of him in France tended to show him in a lot of space. I had thought that Veretout would be ideal for this but he seems out of favour.
