Summer 2013 Transfer Rumour Thread

Am i missing something here?

 

Newsnow have us linked with Yobo coming back from Turkey.

 

Hi, new to this forum, Yobo is past it.

 

Hopefully not

 

I see Wigan have had a bid of 850k turned down for Albert Adomah.

For that sort of money I think it might be worth us taking a risk on him. I know he doesn't exactly bring the wow factor as a signing but I think he is potentially a very good player. He brings power, pace and would be good to have the option of a right sided winger who looks to get to the byline and get crosses in.

Hopefully we have the cash to bring in a top quality winger but if we can't get anyone, then we could do a lot worse that Adomah.

 

IMO he is no better than we already have (Punch/Mayuka). Plus, he will never be good enough for the 'top 6' we are aiming for, so it will be one to get off the wage bill in a few years time anyway

 

Adomah's good at championship level, but he's pretty raw and personally I don't see him ever making any waves in the premier league.

 

oh yes, I meant "doing"

 

Seem to remember we all raved about him after City did the double on us but he was a bit disappointing last season. For that money though it's a low risk punt!

 

Exactly

Barnard maybe off to Oldham/Rotherham as well

 

Adomah? Oh god no. We looking to improve, and he is not an improvement.

 

I'd take a punt on Adomah for anything under £1m. Almost a no lose situation. If he comes off, it's a fantastic investment. If he doesn't, then we'd easily be able to recoup at least £500k through selling him back to the Championship.

Very raw, and probably isn't good enough to ever be a top 10 team PL player. But you never know; I do think there is something about him.

 

I remember when Adomah and Maynard had us on toast at Ashton Gate. Can't see Cortese looking at him for a top class Premier League standard winger.

 

Just because a player costs next to nothing, that doesn't mean there's no downside to signing him. I don't want the dressing room filled with unhappy players.

 

Shows how our expectations have changed and I agree he's not good enough now. At tghat amount though it's not an expensive gamble.

 

Better than De Ridder, that's for sure.

 

That's not difficult though.

 

Plus, with the limit on registered players, you can't exactly stockpile players with impunity.

 

I wouldn't have ever thought he was good enough, I've never been a fan. I could only see him being out of his depth in the Prem.

 

Very true. I wish we would just get rid of him, but I understand why there are no takers. Same for Lee - especially with his 18k a week wages.
