thabucks Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Someone I was talking to last night suggested it would be a good thing to spend a proportion if next seasons TV money now and go for it this summer as the Euro to pound ratio is massivley in our favour at the moment and also before prices inevitably rocket when the extra Sky millions from the latest Tv deal. If we didn't do that the pot must be almost empty if not already after Adama Traore. I feel we are just one one or two short still. Hopefully we can somehow sell all of the following: Senderos, Bennett, Richardson, N'zogbia, Kozak, possibly Gil to create some funds and try for Lescott and to continue the dream summer Embolo or Oulare. Would love Praet also. Berahino is probabally a step too far this summer, hope he stays does ok and we can try for him next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Afobe is a very good all-round forward. Would suit Sherwood's style perfectly. Obviously it's The Express though so probably nothing in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) If Benteke and Delph had stayed, I think this summer signings would have been Richards, Gana, Amavi and one of Ayew/Traore. The replacements for Delph (Vertout) and Benteke (Gestede) are not up to scratch and it shows. Edited August 15, 2015 by momo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The replacements for Delph (Vertout) and Benteke (Gestede) are not up to scratch and it shows. In your humble opinion of course, but I disagree, Gana was Delph's replacement and then he changed his mind to stay. Gested alone is not Benteke's replacement the window hasn't closed yet. Veretout is Cleverleys replacement and he is an improvement on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V01 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I'd Keegan love it if we signed Afobe, cracking player and it would piss my dingle gaffer off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Yeah Afobe is good but no reason to believe we're after him at this stage. Presumably would cost about £10m now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Afobi looks quite good but we need better quality in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leighavfc Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Anyone reckon Lescott will be joining? Weren't in the squad yesterday and one of me Albion mates reckons he wants out. I reckon this one is a goer, we wouldn't bid 1 mil then 2 mil if we didn't have an some sort of idea if he would come or not. Good mates with Micah aswell !

gharperr Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Berahino would never come here. Hes too good or us currently. Such a sidewards step. + we would never pay the money Edited August 16, 2015 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this one will happen, pullis sees him as a left back FFS. Would love Berahino, I think he is a cracking player who will only get better.... And I'd love to hear the tesco fans if it happened but unfortunately he will be going to the bright lights of laaaaandan town where he can buy as many balloons as he wants with his reported 100 k a week!

sonic_bouma Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Afobe would be a great signing. Natural born goalscorer. Different style to gestede. Afobe and an experienced CB and I'd be convinced we would be top half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I just don't see the point in signing Lescott. Just 20-30 games less in Clark's development this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
