Transfer Rumours The 2015 Summer Transfer Window Thread

A better Davis = Sigurdsson.

 

Indeed.

And a Cork replacement = Ki.

 

Beech House at Coldeast. He's not keen and I'll probably turn up scratched to bits after battling to get him in his basket!

 

Had a cat when I was young. He burnt his mouth and had to be fed through a dropper. Swaddling him in a blanket was the only way.

 

So after today's PL opener, is there an area that you feel we need to strengthen before the end of the window, other than the obvious CB? CM for me. I have faith in Victor and Davis playing a defensive role, but none of our others can do that. Someone like Alex Song would be ideal I think - can play the holding role, but can also play a fair bit too.

 

Need another defensive midfielder, so that Davis can play in a more advanced position. I know some don't like him, owing to the fact that he doesn't score goals, but as we saw first half today, there was no one, in the advanced midfield position to receive the ball and hold it up. Hence the reason for it coming back all the time.
He also acts as a defensive block in front of the defensive midfielders, making their job easier.

 

Don't forget we have Clasie.

 

some signing that for them.

 

Stoke assembling a lot of high-octane talent, but are those players going to be ready for a cold, rainy Tuesday away to Stoke?

Wait.

 

Yes, in Tadic, Mane, Pelle and Jay we have players who are prone to losing possession. Sometimes those risks are necessary to create decent chances, but sometimes they're not the best things for that moment in the match.
I believe if we had Morgan/Vic/Davis for instance we would have kept the ball a lot better after getting our noses in front and tried to dictate the game more.

I expect Clasie to be a lot better, but we're going to get injuries and suspensions so another option would be preferred

 

Haven't forgotten him, but still believe we need another defensive midfielder.
Not sure why RK doesn't appear to trust Harry Reed. He's always done a good job, when called upon.

 

I haven't, but equally, he isn't a natural DM. I just worry if anything happens to Victor, then we are going to seem fairly weak in there.

 

Struggles to imagine what could hurt Victor. Godzilla perhaps.

 

I still want a team of:

Stekelenberg

Cedric
Fonte
Van Dijk
Bertrand

Wanyama
DM
Clasie

Mane
Pelle
Tadic

Clasie playing just infront of the two holding midfielders as a box to box player.

 

No room for Jay?

 

We will be playing a lot of games this season. Every one will get a chance.

 

It'll be a woman Fran. It's always a woman that hurts the tough guys.

 

Tadic is not a winger.

He needs to sit in the hole behind Pellé.
