Transfer Rumour Thread

I know he's never hit the heights for us we hoped for, but I'll always have time for Bentley as when Lennon got injured in 09/10 Bentley came in and was decent cover while Lennon was out. Did a solid job helping us get fourth place that season.

Did his knee last October whilst on loan at West Ham - doubt he'll play again this season.
 
no to bentley.

NK and townsend are as much lennon's replacements as they are bales. we just have to change our system.

the key is having proper replacement that can come in to make sure that we have at least one stretch winger on the pitch. thought townsend was ready but he obviously isnt. so we need to either push up freidreichs development or get someone else in.
 
I like Nathan Redmond at Birmingham. He looks a complete Lennon clone. Might be worth a punt for a few million in the summer.

Every man and his dog will be looking at him, will be way more than a few million to get him from Brum, I think we're looking at Walcott / Bale type sums when they left Southampton. If he's subject to a transfer this summer I would like to think we at least bid for the guy though, he looks quality on the few occassions he's played.
 
I think going for the likes of Gervinho, Mata and Hazard - Harry is actually looking to improve on Lennon, rather than get him an understudy.

Or push him to improve his game even further once there is some actual competition for his place.
 
Wondering why this has never been addressed by Redknapp? Bentley was understudy but left to spammers and we haven't got cover for Lennon? When he doesn't play we're so narrow. We've got NK and Townsend for Bale so why no one on the right flank??

It kinda has, he shuvs VDV (square peg) out right (round hole).

No no NO!

Kranch on the right is a no no. He's already said how much he hates it. We need cover for the wee man urgent.
 
What we need is a 3rd player who can rotate with Lennon and Bale given that next year we'll have 38 league games plus Cl plus some cup games. Thought we should have tried to get Marin - he can play both sides and in the Rafa role.

Good shout but he wouldn't be happy with a limited role behind Lennon, Bale and VDV.
 
I'm not sure we'd spend ?ú20m+ on a player, just to push Lennon.

Well, a cheaper/bricker one certainly wouldn't

Utd for example have 3 quality wingers all at the top of their game, hungry to prove their manager they deserve a place ahead of the other two.

I like the look of the lad who plays on the wing for Blackpool, Matt Philips. He's only young, has pace to burn and has a few tricks. He's not at Aaron's level yet (and possibly never will be), but would certainly do a better job as cover than Niko of Bentley could do at present.
 
For the first season if I remember rightly Bale was competing with BAE for left back. We tried the BAE-Bale combo a few times but it just didnt work. But now it does, big time.

So I do wonder whether Walker might ever be considered as a Bale-esqe right midfielder sometime?

But with Corulka gone we only have Kaboul as back up at right back!
