Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Tayls_7]

Excited that we're going to do some good business today. A double deal for Hernandez and Snodgrass would be lovely with Ayew and Richards heading the other way. I heard that Tone was on a day out to Aberdovey yesterday hence out of radio contact.

These prices are unbelievable.

We need to improve our strike force. Why the Hell would we want to lose our best forward?

I would hope Kodjia / McCormack / Gestede would get enough goals to get us top 6. It seems silly money though but I'm not too bothered about that right now as we need someone like him. I think I'd have preferred Afobe / Assombalonga but hey.

Because if Ayew is our best forward we're humped   

[Matt Collins]

Dwight Gayle cost £10m and I think Afobe was the same

I'd much rather have them for that price than Kodjia for £15m+

(I think - I've not really seen enough to be sure)

He's a fantastic player. Easily one of the best forwards in the division and losing him as a makeweight for a bloke who is surplus to requirements at Hull fucking City would be the worst decision made anywhere since the people of Germany thought "we should give this bloke with a moustache a chance".

Kodjia's been the striker I've wanted all summer so I'm delighted.

[ChicagoLion]

My slight concern, admittedly based on not much more than dodgy news sources, is that players seem to be giving us the swerve in a way they weren't earlier in the window. Have our performances so far dispelled the idea that we are likely promotion candidates? Are there rumblings amongst players that we're still basket case territory?

Based on recent history and this seasons results, you don't need a Sherlock Homes intuition to come to that conclusion.

Yes. So what's your point? I don't know how relevant recent history prior to the summer is. We have had a close season to fix the problems and a new owner/manager to do the fixing. A few weeks ago you'd have been forgiven for believing we were going to tear the league up, given the arrival of players like McCormack.

my point is I am agreeing with you.

[Tuscans]

A few places saying Kod done for £17 million. Probably 12-13 million with future add ons.

[Chris Smith]

These prices are unbelievable.

They are but with each new TV deal transfer fees rise exponentially.

Wow 

Don't know where to begin with that

Ayew won't be the success at Villa you expect him to be. We have a fine tradition of being mugged off by these talented mecurial types and I think he'll be the next.

[cdbearsfan]

Based on what? The fact that he's been our best player for the last year?

[sid1964]

I just hope that we get promoted in the next 2 seasons, otherwise we may find ourselves in financial trouble!
