Realistic Transfer Targets

Really like the look of James Maddison from Norwich for the number 10 position

Gibbs and Rondón have release clauses. I’d take them both. We would then need a winger and a #10 to push on.

You'd imagine loads of clubs would be all over that

[Menace]

No thanks.

 

Edit: £8M for Rondon is a shout, forget about Gibbs though.

[Kimbo]

Rondon is the same style of player as Mitrovic, he's older, and he doesn't score any more.

[TheInfiniteOdyssey]

Don't rate Rondon at all.

[George Bailey]

Would think Maddison will be off in the summer from Norwich and is defo one worth a look at.

Zaha I assume will cost a pretty penny and will be interesting the likes of Chelsea/Spurs and maybe even ManU again?

 

Not overly convinced by Rondon and wouldn't be touching Tadic either, have heard a few Saints fans slating him a fair bit.

Bertrand may be a good call and that young lad at Palace has looked canny.

[Guest Howaythetoon]

Bertrand would be excellent. I can’t see him being wanted by any of the top 6. Clyne could be available as well. Rondon has never impressed me.

[Guest Howaythetoon]

The other Murphy from Norwich looks a canny prospect as well.

[Guest chopey]

If Stoke go down, would like to see us try for Shaqiri.

 

He's talented but I'm not sure on his attitude. Having said that, Rafa can probably sort that Albanian meatball out.

 

I'd take him as Haydens replacement.

[Guest Howaythetoon]

Zaha is one of those players that makes his team tick and gives the full-back nightmares, but kind of flatters to deceive in the final 3rd. His petulance, diving and constant looking at team-mates as if they are at fault or not as good as him would piss me off no end. Ironically, I think someone like Rafa would perfect his game.

[Stifler]

WBA are going to be fucked. It’s clear that for relegated clubs the best chance of going back up you have is to either keep your best players, or take full advantage of theirs sales. Losing them and having no money to ply with is a nightmare for them.

[Tooj]

Rodriguez might be a shout from West Brom.

[Tiresias]

Just going to break his leg though

[louistoon]

Rodriguez might be a shout from West Brom.

 

He's the one I would take. Would take Evans as well as a replacement for Mbemba if he could find a satisfactory explanation for the taxi fiasco, otherwise no. For a captain to get involved in something like that is pretty disgraceful.

 

Would consider on Shaqiri or Choupu Moting if they were cheap. Same with Redmond or Bertrand, but I'd want them signed as squad players. Again slight questionmarks of the attitude of someone like Shaqiri.

 

Tadic is the only Stoke or Southampton player I'd be very happy we signed.

 

 

[thenige]

Think Rondon is much better than he's given credit for. Playing for WBA under some of the manager's they've had it's unsurprising he hasn't scored more. Could see him having a goal every other game record at most mid-table sides so we should definitely consider it.

The only thing madder than someone offering 38 million for Rondon is someone turning down 38 million for Rondon. Can't be true.

I'd take Cedric as well.

was watching the game today and thought the same - great crossing and pace - looks like he reads the game well

[Disco]

Aye Cedric Sssshhhhhoooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaarrrrrrrreeeeeejjjjjjjjjzzzzzzzzsssssshhhhhhhhhhh is decent.

Shaqiri loves the disciplined anchor role.

If we are talking about players from the bottom three assuming they are relegated. Jay Rodirguez is the only one from WBA that I would consider, but probably shy away from because of his injury record. Shaqiri and Choupu Moting have talent but they seem to have character issues that Rafa won't want to deal with, Choupu Moting seems to be hated by the stoke fans, that's not a good sign. Diouf is a fans favourite, seems to have been played all over the place there, Hughes had him as a wing back and he looked poor against us, seems much more of a forward, may be worth a look at. Shawcross is someone we've been linked with in the past but not had a great season. At Southampton, I like Tadic's ability but not his attitude, Betrand would be a decent pick up but probably will go some place else, I like James Ward Prowse but he's another that's had an off season. There may be talk about Forster returning but rather we stayed clear, he's really not very good.

 

Honestly there is a reason why those teams are at the bottom, slim pickings.

 

Edit: Did some more research on Stoke fans opinion of Diouf, best steer clear, a couple of quotes: "needs 170000 chances to score", "rubbish footballer but can't knock his effort" . Berahino seems to be their version of Jack Rodwell

[r0cafella]

Shaqiri isn’t defensively disciplined which means Yedlin/ Dummett would be left exposed.

 

So I think we can rule that one out.
