Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[dekko]

I think we're probably OK in central midfield, the two who played today are likely to be 3rd and 4th choice, and either of them would look better next to a more dominant player like Jedinak.

Like others have said, a new RB would be nice, but the priorities are a pacy striker and a winger or creative midfielder of some sort.

[Tuscans]

I don't think Bacuna has done bad at this level at right back at all. I think just one pacey bastard from anywhere to go straight up top and we'll have a good go at getting out of this league.

Jay Rodriguez on a season long loan might not be the worst shout, he needs regular football and I dont think Southampton can give it to him

Im coming more around to the idea of giving Gabby another chance too

Maybe thats a type of stockholm syndrome kicking in but after watching Kozak today, Gestede and McCormack thus far, we must have the slowest forwards in the division

We need forward options on the bench for this league, Libor Kozak aint one

Bollocks to Gabby he's fully exhausted his chances. If we're looking in house it should be Hepburn-Murphy.

[Percy McCarthy]

I really want us to buy Diawara plus Afobe or somebody similar in style. Bacuna looks okay in this league.

I would like 4/5 in because even with some of the dross from the first team demoted to the bench it would still look dire.

[Stirchley Villain]

Bacuna might redeem himself this year. Maybe if he does well in this league he could get the move he so craves.

Number 9 is now the priority, if we only bring in 1 player from now to the end of the window it's got to be a mobile, pacy number 9 who gives us a focal point up front. Kozak, I know he's been injured but boy is he shite, Gestede a good option from the bench possibly. Get one in Dr. Tone

[Concrete John]

Bacuna's best games for us were at RB under Sherwood, but he couldn't defend well enough for the PL.  Dropping down a level and with a better coaching set up behind him, he could save us a few million in the transfer market.

Kozak was clearly not match fit, but too similar to Justhead for me and we need squad options.  Quality striker with mobility and pace and we'll start looking like real promotion contenders.

[aj2k77]

Having a pacy striker as well stretch the game giving Grealish, Ayew and McCormack space to work in the gaps or pick him out, please make it happen, we simply won't get promoted with Gestede or Kozak.

[Villafirst]

Push the boat out and get Diawara and Bamford. We've got the money.

[SoccerHQ]

Ravel Morrison not included in Lazio squad for first game of the season.

He is available for transfer then.

[VancouverLion]

I've only watched the Sheffield Wednesday game so far, don't get many games over here now.
Forgive me if I'm wrong but but I thought McCormack would be the focal point of our attack an out & out goal scorer if you like, why are we playing him so deep - he's not a number 10 is he?
I'd have thought Ayew & Jack would play left and right behind him.

I'm hoping we see a couple of moves this week.

[andyh]

I am more than happy with Tish and Jedinak as the muscle in midfield.
But, we are desperate for a playmaker and a true no:9.

If we solve those issues then I think we can make a real fist of it this year, but, I really have no idea who those players should be.

Let's hope RDM and the Good Doctor do.

[Hairbandinho]

And when they get suspended or injured you think Gardner and Westwood are good enough?
