Transfer thread Summer 2015

That's a bit unreasonable, many people have been saying we needed a striker & CB since we got promoted.

I was saying it when we were last in the Prem. Just never got sorted. Still waiting. Bloody hell, didn't realise WBA finalized Serge Gnarby too! They will be strong this season.

Maybe we could still yet get VD.

I've had it mate, and trust me it's not pleasant.

WBA 0-1 Citeh after 9 minutes!

 

[Forgot_My_Lines]

0-2. Yaya looks a beast!

We knew last Friday that ideally we needed a CB and a striker and, just as importantly, need to offload 3 or 4 to make room for them. It strikes me that if the decisions had gone our way and we had won 3-2 everybody would have been happy to let the transfer window take its course. Should we really be panicking just because of a shocking ref? Surely it is better to give AN and DM time to get who they want even if it takes longer than we would like.

I agree to a certain degree with this - had we have won on Saturday the thoughts may have been that we are happy with what we have got and that they could be enough. The cruel truth that the PL exposes is that you can't miss chances and make schoolboy errors at defending and "get away with it".

We played well on Saturday without really forcing McCarthy to do too much - that said we deserved a point and maybe could have got all three - it's those fine lines that can define a season and therefore I'd feel more comfortable with a quality CB and quality striker coming in to help those fine lines work in our favour.

Well I certainly don't want us spending £9M on a Crystal Palarse reject who I've never heard of !

To be honest the fact you've never heard of him says more about you than it does he

Yup! I'd have him rather than RVW, Lafferty or Grabban. So even if he was 3rd choice! At least we'd have 3 choices rather than just Jerome and Hooper. Someone said "obviously Alex Neil really Likes Grabban" I have no idea how, and I hope that's not true. I have no idea how he scored so many for Bournemouth, coz he looks an average Championship striker from every time I'v seen him.

Plank if was not for her we would not have a club

May we forever be funded by turkey farmers and cooks dint want any dirty money from Russia or the Middle East at my club
I want to enjoy my football not think it's being funded by some crook who is living of the misery of those they repress or exploit

Yeah, another bloody champagne socialist I look forward to the day she sells up to a Russian Oligarch

Not fussed about the player - in fact I'm not sure I've heard of him, but the point is WBA are showing ambition and commitment by 'splashing', for them, so much on one player to improve the overall squad. D McNally and the NCFC board, take note. Sometimes you will have to speculate to accumulate - and it's not as if we can't afford that sort of outlay, on a one-off basis.

OFFICIAL: West Brom have signed Venezuelan striker Rondon from Zenit St Petersburg for £12million on a four-year contract.

One of the better players in the Russian League, and has played in the UCL. It worries me because he has pace, finishing and he is VERY strong. Shudder to think how many he might score against us.

It may have been me.

Did you not clock the wink at the end of my post Jarrold ? Me and SN were having a bit of banter in case you hadn't noticed

He's been given such lot less chances than Grabban, But he scored so many important winners or levelers. I think Hoopers is wortha place in our squad. He can finish if given the chance. Where as Grabban gets too many chances, and pisses them all away.

Who is he then? Who has he previously played for? How long and how regular has he played Premier League football to warrant such a huge fee then Munky ? I genuinely know **** all about the lad.

You still can't stand the champers socialist old cow though, you have made that abundantly clear over the years.

He was brought on by Peterborough like most class non league players. He was a star then, and very very quickly got promoted to a Prem club because of his work rate, determination, and how calm and composed his is in from of goal once he works his way there. He works his skin off, and when he's in front of goal he knows where the net is.

Hooper is a fat lazy bastard.

Anyone remember an old sit-com, I think it was - called 'ever decreasing circles'?

 

[woodbine]

Gayle isn't a signing to get excited about but having seen him play a few times I think he could do well for us.

I've just seen Henri Lansbury will be going to Burnley.

When your name came up I thought "I love you" but to read such a stupid comment. I'm not undecided. Hooper isn't fat or lazy. He just isnt a Jerome. He wont chance down and hassle. He makes runs, hovers, gets into the box. He's a poacher, he is a finisher. totally different player to Jerome.

Thankyou

You are very welcome.
