The Fish 10682 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Wonder how much Cisse went for? This mean we're getting another striker in? Mitro, Gayle, Perez, Armstrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10682 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I think Gayle is Cisses replacement tbh It's an upgrade, but I'd still like another striker in. I'd expect Perez to play deeper or to go entirely, if that's the case we'd have Armstrong, Gayle and Mitrovic. Armstrong and Gayle are sufficiently similar to cover each other, but if it were me, I'd want someone like Mitrovic in case the madman gets a lengthy ban or injury.

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) We've signed that Isaac Hayden from Arsenal on a five year contract. Rafa doesn't mess about. Edited July 9, 2016 by StoneColdStephenIreland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpirlo68 0 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Suprised about the signing of Hayden, I presumed it would be a loan but I'll trust Rafa's judgement Hanley has been reported 'injured' and will miss Blackburns pre season game, it looks like he's signing too Reported that we want another striker to replace Cisse despite bringing Gayle in Edited July 9, 2016 by gpirlo68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Chuffed about Hayden he looked a decent young CB in the 2nd half of the season for Hull, surprised we got him on a permanent deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I see Thauvin is with the squad for pre-season training in Ireland, I wonder if Rafa can get anything out of him. So what has happened to Cabella? I remember hearing something about him having an agreed fee to move so I assume that has happened but haven't heard owt about it.

OTF 7243 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Quietly Confirmed to Marseille for 6.3 million OF Cabella and Thauvin I'd have preferred us to still have Cabella. Thauvin looks too slow to have much of an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with OTF, I think I'd rather Cabella out the two of them just think he needed longer to settle in than he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1219 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Hayden seems more like a defensive midfielder than centreback. Glad it's a permanent deal. Don't see the point of us signing a youngster on loan from arsenal. Unless it's someone who's going to be a definite starter it doesn't really benefit either of us too much. He wasn't a guaranteed starter for Hull so I'm not really expecting him to go straight in for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our players are really fucking overrated mind, Wijnaldum was nigh on anonymous after mid November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livermore, Huddlestone, Meyler and Diame?True but none of them are brilliant (Diame plays further forward I think). They're decent but I'd say anyone who couldn't get a game ahead of them wouldn't be someone who we'd be expecting to walk into the team and I don't see the point of loaning someone who isn't that. Obviously we've signed him on a permanent deal as it happens and I suspect Rafa is thinking of him as someone who he can mould into a first team player. The comments I've seen about him from Arsenal and Hull fans have all been pretty positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I think 18 games for Bruce's Hull in the Championship is an ok starting platform, but no guarantee that he can make the next step up and command a starting place. That said, if the challengers for his position are Jack Colback, Vurnon Anita and Gael Bigirimana, I'd expect him to get more game time than he did at Hull.

Depends on whether Tiote goes (I think he will), whether Saivet can do anything (not sure) and where Rafa sees Shelvey fitting in. I think there's a good chance he'll get a decent amount of games and I'm hopefull he'll be a good signing. My only issue was how it would work with Arsenal if it was a loan. Which it isn't. I see we're being linked with Ibe today. Isn't he a right winger? Don't really understand that after signing Ritchie. And I'm not keen on spending the £15m Bournmouth have apparently already offered.

Unless he's looking to play a 4-3-3 with Perez/Gayle Mitrovic and Ibe? Ritchie playing a more central role than he has been previously? He's not quick, by all accounts so he could shift into the centre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
