Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[PaulWinch again]

£17 million seems an enormous amount of money for Kodija, but again if he fires us to promotion I guess it's worth it.

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

Because if Ayew is our best forward we're humped   

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".

I thought Rudi Voller did OK for them.

[Tayls_7]

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

Can I go to your next rewarding success dinner please?

Please don't mention him while I'm having my lunch. It always makes me think of the Rijkaard incident!

You've lost me.

Kodjia is big, strong and fast. He's at a good age too and should be entering the best years of his career. We are creating loads of chances and betwee him and Ross we should be now able to put them away.

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.

Well I'll, er, wind my bloody neck in then! ;-)

That is very good.
I will hire a van.

No problem with Kodjia coming in. He seems to have pace and height so can play alongside Gestede or instead of him.

With him, Ayew, McCormack and Gestede battling for places up front we should score loads!

I find it funny how some people have decided Ayew is rubbish after one poor game. He's a good player and we shouldn't be losing him.

He's not rubbish, he's just bloody frustrating to watch sometimes.

Talks sense.

Yep. A lot of it seems to be because of his face or his lack of celebration on the weekend. Who cares!

[Toronto Villa]

I don't think it's that he's rubbish but it does make you wonder what he offers and where he fits in. He's a very talented footballer but he doesn't score many goals, he could set up more. He seems to sulk a lot, but then we all know he works hard. He's just an odd player and person to figure out.

I get that, but some people seem to want to kick him out of the door. He could slaughter this league if he gets more focussed on team play.
