Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

[Sol97uk]

Thought mepham was out of contract at Bournemouth in the summer or did they exercise the right to extend it? Never seen anything to say they have.

They are a champions league club so I’m not being naive, but we develop players well these days .

I totally agree but I don'tthink we're in a position to tell other clubs where to go when the start sniffing round players just yet

 

[MadMackem77]

I know nothing about Uche and think he's a long shot seeing Atletico and other champions league clubs want him. But a 6'3 player who can play as a midfielder OR a forward sounds like the perfect player for the "second striker / number 10" in our 4-4-2 defensive shape.

It does doesn’t it

Very impressed with the names linked that the club are clearly buying for RLBs system

Speakman almost needs to outsource the outgoings and focus purely on incomings. It will be a full time job shifting that lot.

Any lads called poppadom to complete the set?

There a keeper with poppadom wrists called jason steele if thats any help

he is, but they have an option for him for another year,

so it could be about 5-10m

Theres a strong possibility that Jobe is not Premier League ready. Particularly not relegation scrap Premier League ready. If we get a couple of players with the money who are perfectly primed for this coming season, then I think its been the best decision for all parties.

 

[Chadm93]

I think one thing of note from the retained list is how many players we are not just releasing and getting nothing for, yes there is a lot of excess to leave such as the fringe players and the lads that have been out on loan but at least we will get some sort of fee's for most even if small

 

[JimHeron92]

Played off the left this season hasn’t he aswell

Yeah played a few positions, I think there's a huge scope for him to develop pretty quickly. Could certainly offer an alternative to what we have.

 

[Wayne the Punk]

We haven't sent him back....he's had to go back...his loan is terminated. What happens from here will depend on how much we want him back with us,which could drive up the price,depending on Bournemouth attitude.

Crack on Brainy

This although quite surface level - highlights just how much he kicked on over the course of last year.

€25m release clause but getafe willing to do business under 20.

 

[Wayne the Punk]

No ‘ouch’ about it

Both players have came on so much

I know they have, but some people were wrighting them off, or didnt you get what I meant?

I was also guilty of writing mayenda off I’m just so glad I didn’t post it

I think this is one I really want

I think I actually come out on the right side of history when it comes to Mayenda, for once

 

[MadMackem77]

You know what when you watch him he reminds me of Jobe.

frame, movement, uses his body really well

but a bit better attacking output

Played some games up front as well hasn't he? Another similarity to Jobe

As recently as Christmas/January?

That’s just insane to me, he’d already shown loads to that point.

 

[Pure River Slut]

I think there's an element of the type of football he's playing as well though.

If he stayed here he'd be developing more or less purely as a team that lack possession and are defending for their lives. Which is great. But long term if he aspires to the top he wants to develop and play in teams that dominate possession.

So I can see two reasons why Dortmund tick boxes we don't. 1) they offer him european football ; 2) they offer a more possession dominating style of play

We aren’t a club designed just to help Jobe though. Like all players they need to adapt to help the team win. It’s their job. I respect him for staying focused on winning event when he was discussing leaving us, but I’m not thanking him for leaving us.
