jon_c Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Simon Jones, Gregg Evans and Alan Nixon saying that we want Gestede for £6m but they want £8m. We might offer some youth players to sweeten the deal. If it's youth players on loan, I'd say that's a win-win situation for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted July 28, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yeah I need this transfer window to end so I can actually do some work. "Brian, how's the project coming along". "Project, yes, emm, well we just need another striker, maybe a centre back and we're good to go. Should be done by end of August". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Apparently we have bid for a striker that is not Adebayor. I don't know who it is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 If it's youth players on loan, I'd say that's a win-win situation for us. Possibly Callum Robinson going by one claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Just a question here. How many is too many? Overall? If we sign Veretout, that should be it for midfield. I'd be incredibly happy with that depth and versatility too - we could change up our game quite significantly depending on the opposition. Defence... I'd like to see us sign a centre back. I'm not convinced Clark/Okore/Richards (as CB?)/Baker have enough in them, nor will stay injury free, for an entire season. Up front - You'd assume we're one (perhaps 2?) more away from looking good. Kozak/Agbonlahor/Ayew seem to offer "nuisance" but I'm not convinced there's enough there to replace Benteke. Adebayor on loan would be decent but I'd like another signing there. Again, gives us the option of more formations/abilities depending on opposition. I'm "expecting" 4 more signings (inc. Veretout) really. And I like this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 28, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 28, 2015 Imagine if as well as everything else we were to start benefitting from having our own promising prospects developed by other sides now too. We might have to commission a statue of Sherwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tylerreznik Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I have feeling we might sign a keep too, Begovic was one of the first player we were linked too / bid for, seems strange that we haven't been linked to any other keepers since, but I sense a decent money bid for Begovic clearly had some careful consideration and thought behind it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharperr Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Did i imagine it or did we sign somebody who works similar to a DOF role this summer? Edited July 28, 2015 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I like this Crespo plays centre back as well, so that might be ok. I agree that we definitely need another good striker, as well as Adebayor..

BOF Posted July 28, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 28, 2015 Do i imagine it or did we sign somebody who works similar to a DOF role this summer?We signed Hendrik Almstadt but he is in no way a director of football although some confused him for one at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 What can Gestede offer us that Kozak can't? Only thing I can think of is that he could maybe help with settling in a few of the players. That said we do need another striker so I wouldn't be against it but would perhaps want a different style of striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Have seen Crespo pop up in loss of peoples' line-ups. Surely he is cover and would be behind Bacuna/Hutton in the RB wrecking order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
