Summer Transfer Rumour Thread.

Oh dear. We did not spend 6 million on Rodriguez to play him out of position. He´s natural goal scorer and has to be getting on the end of crosses not putting them in.

 

Nigel said he wanted 1, if not 2 keepers.

My bet is that he would bring Paulo in as one for the future. He wants one to immediately challenge and one who buys into the long-term vision for the club and is in our plans for the future.

 

yeah and Forecast in goal.

Bet you nearly creamed it Saturday when Jayrod scored. How was the rest of his game? Haven't heard much.

 

4-3-1-2 would work for us.

 

I want us to sign Gazzaniga just for his name tbh

 

it is quite magnificent isn't it

 

I like 4-3-1-2 as well.

Davis
Richardson-Fonte-Hooiveld-Fox
Cork-Davis-Schneiderlin
Lallana
Lambert-Rodriguez

Obviously can't stick to this religiously because against teams with rapid wingers we'll be bummed down the flanks.

 

Yeah,but we still need a few more experienced players like him.

 

That's a crap defense for a Premier league team.

 

so far we have bought 2 players, one of which is experienced, i don't really see a problem

 

Kris Temple of BBC Radio Solent is a Gills fan and he posted up a tweet that Gillingham have gone on a pre-season tour in north-eastern France and Gazzaniga has stayed in the UK.

Kent Sports News tweeted this article earlier:

I remember pardew's comment about Ched Evans getting raped by Michael Essien on MOTD, but this sounds like an even worse experience - must be avoided I'd say

 

The problem is the "one" part. MLT7 is saying that we need a few MORE....which we do. There is still a lot of time left before the season starts and before the transfer windows shuts so we have to be patient...but as Nigel said, we would have preferred to bring in players earlier.

 

Sometimes it just doesn't work like that. This isn't Football Manager.

 

I didn't want to include signings we hadn't made but it's cool, it'll definitely look stronger come week 1. I like how you've not been banned yet

 

half of the players we have bought have premier league experience, yet people are saying we are only after young unproven players and complaining about it. There is no basis for that arguement yet

 

Martin Allen said on TalkSPORT that GFC have officially agreed a fee for Gazzaniga with a PL club "who don't want to be named."

He says £2m is a big amount in L2 and can allow him to aim for the title rather than the play-offs.

 

Hahaha! Another striker linked with Hammers.

Premier League Stats ‏@PremLeagueStats

West Ham have lodged a bid with Manchester United to take unsettled forward Dimitar Berbatov on a season long loan. #mufc #whufc

 

Well that seems a very reliable source...

 

They're linked with Modibo Maiga as well. I do wonder if Big Sam has memory problems and just forgets when he's signed a striker.
