transfer latest

Agree with you Swan.
Sometimes it's done to unsettle the player.

 

Unless it's to fund Bonys return and his wages I agree.

 

Last season is completely irrelevant, Breezy. We need to look forward, not back. You didn't talk about three players at the time of my response, you talked about two. this was your post:

"If Ayew goes , we'll make a fortune and if he goes it will be to a bigger club than he's at .
Gomis might downgrade though , interested ?"

Your later post said that IF Ayew was to go, the money "would be a consolation".

I have no problem with your point on Gomis and I understand your argument about Ayew and our shape. If Ayew needs to start on the bench then so be it but we need him. I firmly believe that if you are deep in the **** you do not EVER sell a proven goal scorer in the January window. We sold Bony but we were in decent shape then, not flirting with the bottom three - but even that was a risk. I can't think of any of the fans I speak to who remotely think that money would be a "consolation" if Ayew is sold. It won't be.

There is a time to sell and it depends on a number of factors, including where your team is in the League. Sell Ayew? I'd be gobsmacked - and hugely disappointed.

 

Problem is he hasn't replicated that since he left. Add to that no football for a season I just can't see how he is gonna be match fit let alone make an impact in the next 3 months. I hope I am wrong but I just find it hard to comprehend that our first signing is an injured midfielder with no match fitness as opposed to a striker. Charlie Austin just gone to the saints for 4 mill and we buy JDG. #confused

 

Doumbia is a better player than Austin - but we need to get him. I'm a JDG fan but am concerned about this injury. For that reason I'd be surprised if it happened.

 

Austin has scored goals in the PL Doumbia is unproven in the PL. Only 4 million just what are we doing?

 

I've never bought this "proven" argument. Good players adapt. Look at Bony. Austin had one good season and has been playing Championship football ever since. Ask yourself if Roma would by him. Exactly.

 

Scoring 27 goals in 21 games last season and scoring 19 goals in 21 games this season is an issue , hide from the fact all you want but it's an important fact and should be addressed .Shelvey and Ayew kept Britton and Routledge out of the team and we're playing better now with Britton and Routledge in the team .Since moving Ayew to the middle and ridding ourselves of Shelvey ( at super money I might add , at a time we don't have a lot apparently ) Britton and Routledge are clear to play most games . The Britton , Ki , Siggy connection is finally getting a chance to shine . Britton and Ki are really building an understanding which will pay dividends.It still leaves us with Ayew not being a striker though , playing players out of position doesn't work out a lot and we've been playing players out of position a lot so they can play .

 

Well at £4Million he has to be a better squad player than Edder? Huw going on about the difficulties of finding duffers like Eder and Gomis, and he completly miisses a Charlie Austin deal, It's clear to me that Huw Jenkins is out of his depth, and the sooner we get someone proffesional in to look after the transfer deals the better, we are a joke at the minute, What about D Grey also from Burnley going to Liecsester for £3.5 Million ? Another good Striker missed by Huw Jenkins who was well within our budget, the speed of our board is nothing short of pathetic..........

 

I take your point Phil, but it may be that we didn't go for Austin because we already have someone in the bag. Austin would make a decent squad player I'd give you that, particularly as he's scored 10 in 16 this season and Eder is heading for the exit by all accounts.

 

Didn't they sign D grey from Birmingham and he is a winger
Andre gray is still at Burnley isn't he or am I in a parallel universe

 

Phil is wrong, again

 

Sunderland

 

"Fair and Square "

 

They're not happy

 

I trust you have paid them a visit? Or you leaving @DragonPhilljack to do it?

 

Leave them too it. Just sit back and watch them go nuclear

 

Sorry bebbes, it looks like me in the parallel universe, I'm referring to Grey the Burnley Striker, I read on my travels he's on the move to the Premiership, I thought Leicester were signing him, apologise if I got my wires crossed, but there are so many names being thrown around on the Striker front at the minute, but if Grey from Burnley is still available then he would be a very good proposition for us, and well within Huw Jenkins financial remit, so get shopping Huw, and not window shopping at that either....

 

Well your the teacher?.........

 

I have passed on my best wishes, as you do......
