Transfer Rumours The 2015 Summer Transfer Window Thread

We're gazumping United to Ramos, don't worry.

 

We're obviously waiting to see how the situation with Toby resolves. There's no point in bringing any more CB's if there is a reasonable chance of Toby signing for us.

We most certainly have a list of possible replacements. Although, if there is no good replacement for Toby available, to me it wouldn't be a disaster to go with the players we already have, and promote Yoshida to the starting lineup. He's no Toby, but he improved a lot in three seasons for us and can do the job. Then we have Gardos as a first substitute. He also showed some promise, hell he played in wins on Emirates and Old Trafford, that's got to amount to something. And we did brought him presumably because we saw some potential in him and it wouldn't be the worst idea to place your trust in the player you already have.

And then there's Stephens/McCarthy as fourth option, they got to be introduced to the fist team sometimes.

 

I hear what you're saying, but I'm hoping for progression this season. That feels too much like nailing on a 12th place finish.

 

Really?

 

Yeah. Reverting back to our second and third choice CBs over the course of the season isn't progressive as I see it. Maya has come on leaps and bounds, but if we don't get Toby in, for us to progress I think we need to bring in another CB. Do you not?

 

We will be so don't worry.

 

I figured we would. Don't get me wrong from the previous post, I've all the time in the world for Maya, and I think Gardos has promise, but to progress we want more than that.

 

Same here. I can see one of them being replaced within a few seasons.

 

We need at least one more CB, no doubt, but it is good to know that now most of us have no problems if Maya plays at CB with Jose. I thought he had a great season last year.

 

Maybe I'm be a bit greedy in suggesting that I would like us to sign Toby plus another quality centre back to compete with Fonte

Or a defender who can play both cb & rb?

 

Or a couple of modern day Paul Warhursts who can play CB and CF

 

That'll be Toby then...

 

I know he can!! but I would prefer him at centre back unless we can sign someone who is better than him!

If clyne is going I don't want Toby to be our right back cover...

 

Last I heard is we want two rbs even if Toby comes back.

McCarthy is seen as a cb.
Mugabi isn't ready imo.

 

Imbula favours Southampton. Time for a Saint Gianelli! Thread ?

 

Link?

 

Knew that was coming.

 

Well it could be any random site.

 

In LeParisien (you need a subscription for the whole article though.) Twitter saying €2m loan and €18m buy out clause.

Edit. Apparently says the buy out clause is obligatory. Might just be wanting to spread our spending out.

 

All on twitter that Le Pairisien have said it, including a picture of the article, but yet to actually find a link.
