Transfer rumours - Summer 2010

**irishfan86** · 06/08/2010, 12:49 AM

Stoke trying to bring in Jon Walters for three million pounds. I think he'd really suit Stoke's style of football with his physical style, and I'd like to see Trap give him a look. He's a versatile player who can play wide or up front:

Unreal. 3 million pounds for Walters? I play with Ipswich all the time in FIFA and he's a half decent player. Listed as a central midfielder, not a striker as the article states. Does anyone know where his best position actually is?

Daily Mail today, rumours Stephen Manchester to Villa as part payment for Milner and new offer for McGeady. Trap will be happy!

Stephen Elliott in talks with Hearts. Could a good move for him and might ensure he gets a regular game like Stokes.

Can play as a centre forward or in the wide sides of a front 4-3-3.....he's quick and physical. I think he's got a similar sort of style to Shane Long.

Thks IF86, that'd be a really interesting one. IMO Walters is the best attacking header of a ball we have, bar maybe Doyle. Not as mobile or athletic as Long but he's strong.

Marc Wilson linked with West Brom and Folan linked with Swansea according to Football365

Keanes says Walters can go. Great move and I agree with Stuttgart. Excellent header of the ball and much better first touch than Sheridan. http://www.greenun24.co.uk/ipswich-t...to_go_1_581739

O'Dea Set for Ispwich according to Sky Sports!!!!

**gastric** · 23/08/2010, 10:07 PM

West Brom have failed with a second bid for Marc Wilson.

**irishfan86** · 24/08/2010, 9:05 AM

The Evening Standard reports that Keane may be on his way to West Ham or Aston Villa, to help finance Spurs getting in a new striker.

Looks set that Best will be going to Blackpool

**Philly** · 24/08/2010, 10:08 AM

A few papers and websites have linked Darron Gibson with Stoke on a loan move. Would be interesting to see how he would do playing the full 90 week in, week out.

I think Best moving to Blackpool would be a good move. His Newcastle career just isn't going to get off the ground and he needs to start playing more football.

I wonder how his occasional 'relaxed' style of play would fit into an all-action XI like Stoke..

Pulis could be just the man to get his arse in gear a bit more

my thoughts exactly.he wouldnt get away with hiding on the pitch in that Stoke team

**irishfan86** · 25/08/2010, 12:08 AM

In fairness Pulis sometimes surprises you. You'd expect a man with his sort of team to insist on playing strikers that harry the opposing teams defenders, but Ricardo Fuller is probably the laziest off the ball player you've ever seen in your life, and Pulis loves him.

I'm sure Gibson could slot into an advanced midfield role and given a bit more leeway a la Lampard at Chelsea under Mourinho.
