Summer transfer madness thread

Forgot about him. I'll add him to my list.

Next season I'll go with

Begovic

Bree
Chester
Kolo Toure?
Taylor

Vaz Te/judge
Sanchez/Jedinak
Lansbury
Mehmet Ekici ( half decent but good enough for our level)

Kodjia
Hogan
For back up...

Darren Bent...

[Salsa Party Animal]

I think we need to do this

Goalkeeper -

Release Bunn, Sell Gollini, Sign Johnstone (If we think he is good enough) and Ruddy

Defence - Sell Ally and Richards and Tommy and buy 2 defenders and replace Jordan Amavi if we get silly money for him.

Midfield - Bring back Gil, Vertout and Sanchez from loan and sell one we don't fancy, look out for a Patrick Viera type player.

Strikers - Sort out Ross, release Kozak, sell Agbonlahor and look for a striker to increase compeition upfront.

Look out for a Patrick Viera type player? I think you've cracked it. Whilst we're at it I think we should also look out for a Thierry Henry type player, an Overmars type player, a Paul McGrath type player, and maybe a Neuer type player. They must be out there somewhere and not spotted by anyone else.

What I mean a powerful heavyweight player in midfield to boss the game. I use Patrick as example.

Just have it in my head that Bruce doesn't fancy Baker so  he will be off. 

Need  to sort out the goalkeeping  situation out - I think Johnstone has improved and is more confident but we need an adequate back up.

Someone wide on the right  and  not that useless bean stalk out there now. 

Am leaving the central  strikers out as I have absolutely no idea how Bruce is going to deal  with that situation.

If anybody I think it's Elphick he doesn't fancy. He was the logical choice to replace Baker in the last two games but chose a midfielder ahead of him.

I've not checked but have it in my head that he's picked him pretty consistently when he's available, only dropped him once and I can't mind which game it was?

[SheffieldVillain]

Sell - Bunn, Hutton, Elphick, Richards, Cissokho, Gil, McCormack, Kozak, Gabby, Bacuna,
Loan - Gollini, Veretout (would be happy to bring him back if he wanted), Tshibola

Squad of:
GK - New Signing, Steer, whoever our current Reserve keeper is as backup
DF - De Laet, Bree, Amavi, Taylor, Baker, Chester, New CB, New CB
MD - Lansbury, Houlihane, Jedinak, Sanchez, Veretout, Adomah, Green, Grealish, Bjarneson, Gardner, Lyden
AT - Kodija, Hogan, New Signing, RHM, Davis

Possibly too many midfielders there but I'm not convinced about Bjarneson and it's unlikely both Sanchez and Veretout will come back.

4-5 signings at most, a CB and GK being the priority. I'd like to see Lyden given a chance as Jedinak's understudy.

Darren Bent...

Is that just the new way to spell 'Nathan Baker' now?

[SoccerHQ]

I pretty much agree with Ads.

Four signings at the most. Keeper, CB and probably another striker and probably another wide player. Will use the loan market I'm sure.

For the first time in a long while we don't need major surgery on the squad....when confident as they are now what we have at this level is good enough so it's just a case of keeping them fit and also working pre season on stuff like our mentality on when we go behind in games.

It would be good to win a big game before the end of the season after falling behind...let's say give SHA an early goal and come back and win 5-1.

[passitsideways]

I hope RHM can step up so that we can be confident about him as the back-up for Hogan and Kodjia, McCormack is probably finished.

I think we'll be alright for wide options with Grealish, Green, Adomah, Bjanarson plus Amavi and Bacuna if those two stay. I think the loanees are probably gone, but I think we only need to add cover to central midfield - the starting three are set, a player to slot ahead of Gardner, who can be the emergency option, and hopefully Lyden or Tshibola can fit themselves into squad roles.

A solid GK and CB are the keys though, get those in and I'll feel pretty good about promotion.

[aj2k77]

there's no way Adomah deserves to be sold - he might not be a worldie but he's chipped in with goals and a fair few assists.

#   Player                Assists
1.   Conor Hourihane      13
2.   Albert Adomah               10

Albert is behind only Hourihane for assists in the entire division, he won't be sold, we'd be silly to do so.

[clash city rocker]

I think in a decent team Gil could contribute a lot in the championship.Maybe coming off the bench to change things around. Too many players last season must have been totally disheartened and looking for the exit door. Then Black came along and they probably became positively suicidal.

[clash city rocker]

If fact looking back on last season I think more harm and damage was done to OUR club by a number of individuals than at any time I can remember. The more I think about it the more scandalous the actions of a number of individuals was...Fuckin criminal springs to mind.

Tbf, you've got Begovic as our goalkeeper!
