Powell is the better player for me, but think he's off elsewhere. They need to swing a bit higher and get Januzaj
Surely we don't need another right-back with Elmo, Dave, Tymon etc. Sisto is interesting but for 9million euros, I'd get Brady back for that if possible
Maybe you are right, we carry Diame quite a lot as it is. I've seen Januzaj in the flesh a few times and was quite taken with him, you don't see how well he runs at players with the ball on TV, apparently he pissed Van Gaal off by trying to score directly from corners too and thats why he was bombed out by him so has a bit of attitude and fire.
Indeed so. HRK would not break the bank and has PL experience with a point to prove. New club new lease of life. Lambert is a good short term option unless of course Diomande shows us something in pre-season that was not seen last season. Hernandez needs to play off a target man. You may well be right in that we are not looking at either in anyway shape or form. However we have signed worse in the past as history shows. twt.
Was Steve Bruce ever going ? He looks to have gone backwards @ Brighton. However, given the chances Akpom had and missed last season he maybe a good replacement.
So...how true is this? Anything in it? Brucies told he can't sign any transfers...http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football...y-future-in-limbo-as-owner-assem-allam-look/?
The Times are linking us with making a move for Jeff Hendrick but sensibly stated a move wouldn't be made until the future of the club's confirmed.
Brucies told he can't sign any transfers...http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football...y-future-in-limbo-as-owner-assem-allam-look/?[ More nonsense and best filed under bollox.
It's why I don't think it's true. Although Tymon is a LB. Were you thinking of Lenihan? But if he wasn't good enough for Reading, what makes you think he's suddenly going to be good enough in the Premier League again? He's not once looked good playing us or playing for Reading full stop which is why we're a little confused that you're backing us signing him. A new lease of life doesn't always ring true, look at what happened with Ben Arfa and he's 10x the player HRK is. Also, his initials are an anagram of HKR, so no chance we'll sign him. Hernandez doesn't need a target man to play off at all, what he needs is the team to play to his strengths, get it into his feet and let him have attempts on goals. He's managed 20 odd goals without a target man, I think it's safe to say he doesn't need one. A strike partner perhaps, a target man not necessarily.
I like what I've seen of Ashley Fletcher - albeit in League 1. He's available and would be relatively cheap.Worth a look in my book duck. As would, oft mentioned on here, Bradshaw of Walsall - Rotherham just had a 250k bid turned down. Both young centre forwards who have performed well in League 1 and seem to be relatively low risk.
Bradshaw will be playing at a higher level this season, no doubt about it. Walsall are holding out for £2m.
Palace are quoting 11m for Gayle and Fulham 12m for McCormack, Either Bruce gets lucky with a FAT or an inspired lower leaguer signing or some serious moneys going to have to be spent to bring someone proven in.
£12 million for a 30 year old in August is never going to happen! They're just trying to put people off. In reality £5 million is probably his true value!
