Summer transfer madness thread

[PaulWinch again]

Another rumour that would build on the theory that Bruce only wants what he knows not trying to find the next generation.

Aston Villa are close to landing Hull right back Ahmed Elmohamady in a £3m switch.

He's not a right back.

 I guess that with only Hutton, Bree, De Laet and Bacuna we are looking a bit light there.

And Micah

Supposedly the bitters are also interested in EBJT. We can but hope. Speaking of them they are apparently going to offer Jonny Evans 100K a week and are after £12m rated Jay Rodriguez. That's £12m for a striker that has scored 5 league goals in the last 2 years.

Of which he's been mostly injured. It still looks a better bet than spending the same amount on a 29 year old with suspect eyebrows that's never played in the top flight.

Bit harsh PWS as he has suffered a serious injury.  That said £12m seems steep.

To put that into perspective does that make Gabby worth twelve million?

Rodrigues was a very good player before his injury, think he's still feeling his way back. A good price in today's market if he can get fit and confident again.

If true, then I can only guess that he doesn't rate three out of those four or there are some issues there.  Those options are more than good enough for Championship level.

His bad injury was back in 2014. The 5 goals in 2 years doesn't include the year he was out as he was back playing in August 2015.

I feel we have quite a few to shift before bringing in anyone

I think the following are now surplus:

Gollini - doubt we will sell and he will be loaned

Bunn - should be takers if his wages are not too high

Richards - going nowhere unfortunately

Hutton - has he signed his year extension?

Elphick- will be on a good wage so might be reluctant to move

Amavi - should have offers

Veretout - - should have offers

Tshibola - like him as a player but there obviously seem to be issues.  Might sell at a reduced price or send out on loan.

Gardner - time for him to move on.  Should have offers. 

Gil - should have offers

Agbonlahor - see Richards (anyone know if he has an option on his contract next summer)

McCormack - might get a taker at a vastly reduced price or send out on loan, but more likely to be in the same category as Agbonlahor and Richards

Good work, I'd forgot about that.

Good work, I'd forgot about that.

If I recall correctly that was the game where it was clearly and thoroughly explained by Ricky Lambert after the game - it was the defender's fault as he shouldn't have given him the opportunity to go down. Cnut.

I hope that is lazy journalism rather than lazy managment by
Bruce.  Terry, Whelan and this fellow, how bloody depressing.
