Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Damo70]

Chris Iwelumo is shit aswell to be fair.

That did cross my mind when he said it.

[Fred Crump]

Newcastle close to signing Alan Judge and Darryl Murphy? They are going to have a hell of a team too, but don't think they have as solid a side as we do.

They are both very very average players

Alan Judge was getting rave reviews last season until he had a very nasty leg break. Would he offer the midfield creative passing that we badly need in midfield ( if fully recovered ) ?

ASTON VILLA are offering a huge Championship-record £20million for Hull striker Abel Hernandez.

Villa’s new Chinese rulers want the  Uruguayan hitman, 26, and tabled a massive package to tempt the Tigers.

Abel Hernandez is a £20m target for Aston Villa
The bid  is £14m up front with £3m  on Villa achievements  and £3m for goals and appearances.

More surprising is Hull have not snapped their hands off — though they are preparing to spend, which does point to a sale.

"Villa's new Chinese rulers"!

Jeez, didn't realise Dr X had declared Martial Law!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I hope that Hernandez story is true as I'm coming to the conclusion we're going to need a Premier League side to get promoted this season.

We need a striker. It's not my money. Spend it.

[kippaxvilla2]

There's reports now that Hull are about to sign Kodija so hopefully this could pave the way.

If I can get another volunteer, I'd be willing to personally transport him back in a sedan chair. At last we'd be heading *from* Hull in a handcart.

Nothing at all against Hernandez, BUT, if the club is willing and able (pardon the pun) to spend £20m on a player, isn't there a £20m player out there who could guarantee 25 goals?
It seems an awful a lot of money for a striker who is not exactly a household name.

Will Hernandez guarantee what we need and what that sort of fee will demand?.

[ROBBO]

One good thing about this season is I don't get chance to watch many games, yes we need a good target man but until they do something about the piss weak midfield we will not improve.

[OCD]

If we do get Hernandez and Hull go and get Kodija from under Derby's noses, we've strengthened ourselves and possibly inadvertently weakened a fellow promotion candidate.

Well he scored 20+ goals in the Championship didn't he?

Agree, Robbo, the midfield should be our focus unless we go all MON and just hoof it over them but as we know, that will only take you so far - back to the 1970s.

Well yeah isn't that what they're trying to do by signing Jedi, Tsih and hopefully a creative player?
