Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[ozzjim]

I think we will see a striker come in. I have to say I would forget world class and go get Wells for 7 or 8million. He always looks like he's got goals in him.

Definitely need a back up option if we don't get our first or second choice

He doesn't seem to be an automatic starter for Huddersfield - unless that's just temporary - so I would much much prefer Hernandez or similar

But we're well short of numbers in attack - he hasn't seen fit to put RHM on be bench yet, tho I wonder if he might today

Wells is certainly Huddersfield's number one striker.

They just rotate a lot because of Wagner's high pressing game. For example Hogg played well v us and then was on the bench for the next game they played.

I would be pretty happy with him...he has pace and mobility around him and always a danger when the ball's bobbling around the box. Reminds me of Defoe.

I can understand why some fans would be underwhelmed though after the world class comments. He does play internationals for Bermuda though!

Okore's gone.

Where to?

Edit: Derr, Looked on the Okore thread.  FC Copenhagen.

It does sound like the striker might be difficult to pull off. We must have a reserve option just to make up the numbers there. Most of the time we've not even had a forward on the bench and when we did it was kozak

Could it be Okaka ?.........................Godzvilla!

Report: Stefano Okaka clears Anderlecht locker, Aston Villa or Norwich transfer destination
Het Laatse Nieuws is reporting that the striker has cleared his possessions at the training complex in Neerpede – as it becomes clear he has no future at the Brussels club.
The report also mentions the two English clubs who are currently in the lead regarding the hunt for the player - Aston Villa and Norwich City.

Both clubs have been linked with a move for the player in recent weeks. Villa have made no secret of their attempts to sign another striker whilst Norwich are in the same boat.

Norwich however are on the brink of signing Nelson Oliveira – so a move for Okaka may seem odd.
Villa on the other hand have signed Ross McCormack this summer but want another goalscorer in the team.

Jordan Rhodes has been mentioned but Okaka would be a much cheaper option.

Okaka looks like Eddie Murphy.
Reasonable record but not earth-shattering. Probably work well in the C'ship.

well Tone did say it would likely conclude by Sunday night so who knows - if it happens, this was plan B or C I'd have thought

I used to buy a teenage Okaka playing Football Manager way back! From Roma I think.

[johnny from donny]

Agent Dave (yes I know) says we're after Marcus Rashford on loan.

Got to say I think  this one's BS because:

A, I think he'll get game time at Manchester United

B, if he did go on loan, it would be to a lower/mid table premier league club where he could score against Man Utd's rivals whilst not being able to play against his parent club. In effect still working to the advantage of Manchester United.  If this were the case, does anyone think his destination may be Hull (playing each other today btw so Rashford is in Hull if they want talks)  freeing up Hernandez to come to us?  Or am I being too optimistic>

Was he any good for you?

[ozzjim]

10m on him though could be spent on a more certain thing like Kodjia or Wells. Shame Dembele went to Celtic as he and McCormack were great together.

[ozzjim]

Really the attacking mid, has the Liverpool guy we were linked with moved yet?

10 years of self-abuse has left a haze in my memory.

Club in Turkey interested, so I read yesterday. Not moved yet though.

Kodija joining Derby. We can cross him off the list.
