Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[footyskillz]

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.

Hey Vancouver maybe you can catch highlights on websites so can check out more.  There isn't as much coverage as premier league but sky sports website and others do have some goals and things . Hope that helps pal

After today want another midfield enforcer in case Jedinak or Tshibola get a bad knock, just can't see a promotion bid with Westwood in the middle.

Westwood played well today.

[footyskillz]

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

Defo a lack of pace but I don't think derby has to much pace up there either

I'm assuming you didn't watch the game? Westwood was very good today.

I think Westwood would be OK alongside either Tish or Jedinak should either of them be unavailable.
We have seen already this season that he has been ok when playing with Tish.
I agree though, Westwood looks totally exposed when being asked to provide the quality when he is playing alongside the likes of Gardner etc.

[footyskillz]

I saw him failing to take responsibility and losing it on occasions or passing the ball to ayew or another with players on them. He was okay and did a few good press and tackles couple offence passes but did do a crude challenge on will hughes seemingly over eager . Decent enough at this level.

I agree, but Westwood is perfectly good alongside Tish or Jedi and therefore is a valuable squad member.

[KRS]

I'd be interested to know the percentage of forward passes he makes. All I saw today was Westwood passing it sideways or backwards...sure it means we keep possession most of the time, but he more often than not slows the game down and contributes very little in terms of creativity.

[ROBBO]

Westwood is an i'll try not to make a mistake rather than a i'll try to make something happen type of player see plenty of the ball but never does much with it. We found out today if there was any doubt left that Kozak is no back up leading the line, need to get someone in quickly.

[Steve67]

N'Koudou about to move to Tottenham from Marseille. I wonder if this is part of any deal for Veretout, now that they have a bit of money? Will soon see I suppose.

[ozzjim]

Talk is Veretout is having a medical at St Ettienne on Monday. If true, then it creates space for another central midfielder.

I do think with the likes of Jedinak, McCormack, Elphick and Chester through the spine, we might get the best out of Ravel Morrison, but his character would always be a worry.

Up front the more I watch us the more I think we need a decent sized forward with pace. Wells might be too short, Hernandez looks pretty ideal but doubt we would get him.

[PeterWithesShin]

I really wish we'd give RHM a go.

[ozzjim]

Agree on that PWS. Today I would have much sooner seen him than kozak, but we seem to like a big focal point. Ayew is basically playing wide because he works hard.

the Hernandez link seemed to be quite strong a week or so back. Seems to have gone quiet now- I reckon it might be dead now.

I'd take Morrison on Loan if it were possible to do a deal, with a view to a permanent deal if he comes good.
