Oulare = want

Hasn't shown anything in this game so far anyway.been bossed and bullied by Blind and Smalling .

Can't beat Man Utd?

He'll fit right in.

He honestly doesn't even look like he is trying . A very poor cameo from him.

Oulare just came on for Brugge.

 

 

Sadly I don't think any of this will see us sign a CB.

Ian Taylor tweeted we were in for another centre-back about a week ago. I think we will bring another one in and loan Baker out.

I can't see Baker being loaned out, IIRC Tim's comments when he signed the new contract seemed to suggest he wanted to work closely with Baker to improve him.

So with Richards in to be a CB, Clark, Okore when he's fit, and Baker, together with Crespo able to cover there if needs be (no doubt he will) I don't think we'll get one. I'd be far far happier if we did though so hopefully Taylor is on to something.

It looks like Lennon has legs and we're clearly keen on another striker, the goalkeeper rumours keep rumbling on and we could easily strengthen at RB... 2 or 3 out of those and we'll have had a decent window.

 

I'm pretty sure Tim said something about wanting Baker to play 35 games this season when he was given his new deal, said he was a late developer. All sounded like he was going to be sent out on loan.

Is "gana" going to refund those fans who put Gueye on the back of their shirts?

I doubt it , he has always worm Gana on the back of his shirt.

Anyone seen the deal his brother got at Swansea....basic 65k a week, 20k a week every time he STARTS a game (which will be a lot)...loyalty bonus if he stays at Swansea for more than two seasons and he also wanted a goal bonus for scoring for Ghana which got rejected in the end.

 

I wonder what sort of deal his Brother got here....

Well seeing as he waived his signing on fee and pushed very hard to get the deal done I doubt he is on anything like that. Also his brother was moving on a Bosman so he could command a lot more as there was no transfer money put up.

Hopefully Gestede, Kozak, Ayew & Gabby have all impressed enough in training to convince Tim that spending these kind of wages just isn't needed. 4 strikers (plus upcoming players from youth) SHOULD be enough for a team without European commitment anyway.

I hope not. If this deal is dead I would presume Tim,Fox and co. would have another option.

He can cross a ball that lad.

We should buy him a six foot four centre half who's excellent in the air to aim at.

What a ball from Amavi. Brilliant.

The other looks like Adebayor wearing a hat to me. He was wearing one in the jacuzzi shot of him at BMH (albeit a different colour).

Adebayor is 6 inches taller than Veretout. Doesn't look like there is that much of a difference in height to me .

He arrived in the country(allegedly) after 9pm last night. Give the man a chance.

I don't want to get greedy with all the potential incoming's but we really need a centre back, especially if Baker leaves. Don't think we've been linked to anyone recently, have we?

Richard did mention a young center back from Marseille yesterday. Baptiste Aloé.

A few people have said it now. AVFC Transfer is not reliable but I believe he is sad enough to go to the training ground and keep watch. He's stopped pretending to be itk now.

He's at BMH.

Source?

Hopefully not Avfc Transfer on Twitter. We all know how reliable he is.

Does anyone think this could be completed today?

From what we're hearing from his club, if it's not done today you'd have to doubt it'll get done at all.

Well more so that the deal be agreed with his club by tonight, medical and personal terms could take another couple of days.

so now we're down to Richards (still think he's a better right back), Clark and Senderos (who Sherwood doesn't seem to rate given his lack of pre-season starts)

bloody nora

hope we've got a good one (or even two!) up our sleeve

Crespo too who can play LB, CB and RB.

CB is infact his best position from most reports and usually only fills in at LB and RB.

For me its time to get a goal scorer in.

Cannot see where the goals are coming from without Benteke. Ayew is one player, we need another.

Our strike force looks woeful.

we need signings all over actually

Still need a CB

Still need another Midfielder and a wide midfielder

Still need striker

Still need to shift 5/6 players too

Any word on the thing no one had speculated on Richard?

The beard lovers will be delighted with this one.

I don't know anything about him but from his Wikipedia page he scored 14 in 45 appearances for Rennes last season. Which is just a bit worse that 1:3 so not a terrible return really, I think they only play 38 games in ligue 1 so some of those appearances will be cup etc presumably.

Good stuff, get him on board.

He joined them in Janurary 2014 so been there a season and a half. Also he is a winger so the goal return is pretty good.

Wouldn't Lorient doing a Delph be considered as breaching a verbal contract, to both us and Ayew?

Verbal contract? Not worth the paper its written on.

GK: Guzan, Bunn, Steer

DF: Amavi, Richards, Baker, Okore, Clark, Senderos, Richardson, Bennett, Cissokho, Hutton

MF: Gueye, Bacuna, Cole, Westwood, Gardner, Sanchez, Gil, Nzogbia, Sinclair

ST: Agbonlahor, Kozak.

24 players.

Add Ayew & Adebayor - thats 26

Youth players dont count. eg Grealish, Sellars etc

That defence is total garbage the centre halfs are just not upto it richards is a rb okore and clark are ok but baker and senderos are terrible. I think neglecting the defence would be a major mistake we need to get quality from front to back.

Defence?? Pfffft fark that. We are just gonna out score everyone... Sign all the forwards!!!!

Selling Baker would mean at least 1 cb coming in if not 2. I think we could replace him with a lot better from around Europe for £4m-£5m so if we got anything over £3m for him it would be worth a go .

Jordan Ayew

Looked a poor finisher at the WC. Remember him missing some fairly easy chances.
