Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Louzie0]

Has he actually been accurate before? Didn't he say Adebayor was a done deal?

Yes, albeit in Yoda mode.  I've enjoyed reading his messages this transfer window, he's got most of it right but I really appreciate the dramatic flair of the tweets landing like little bulletins with apparently outrageous names and claims, which then turn out to be right.

On the flip side, the twitter bloke Don Corleone is right about as often Lambert was inspirational.

There are some outrageously inaccurate ITK twitterers out there and completely shameless with it; they keep on trying to convince even after being shown up to be utterly hopeless at ITK.  DC is well wide of the mark with just about everything I've read, it's entertaining.

Its all very cryptic...but why stop at 9 new players when you can have a whole new team!

We do need a new CB and CF, but would prefer an experienced CM rather than a wide player...saying that, if our main tactic is balls into the box then the midfielder could be an upgrade on Bacuna with crosses from the right.

There's still time for Adebayor to turn up and stretch the shirt, as well!

 I hope not.

I have got to the point of simply reversing much of what some say now. We should create some kind of monitoring system to keep a track of accuracy. Or maybe my want to make everything into a database or excel sheet should not spill into a football forum....

Had a quick look, surely he's a deliberate pisstake? He had Veretout joining two different clubs in two days before joining us after "a U-turn", said Ayew would cost £20 million, then said the deal was off, and has now said "no truth in Berbatov" followed by "Villa to unveil Berbatov" within hours of each other.

@whispers_listen: excite week. medic booked. avfc working without break to bring in and remove gk. loan away baker while bring in defender mid/wing and strike



He's at it again.  Another exciting week to look forward to, it seems.
Bring it on.

Wow, so that would be a keeper, defender, midfielder / winger and a striker coming in?  If true, it will have been a massive overhaul.

Up to 13 new signings, with the medic removing a gk this week from an unspecified member of the squad.

There is a Stefan Postma joke in there somewhere.

[Steve R]

Get him in the GTC competition. Then we'll see what he's made of.

[mr underhill]

I might be wrong but i'm sure someone on VT had evidence that Whispers was a fake account?

[Ron Manager]

I expect something will happen this week.Cambiasso perhaps or maybe a flying French winger who can cross a ball.Could be anything.Tim Sherwood is not finished yet.of that I am sure.

All I know is that they had better be called Jordan

[The Laughing Policeman]

With all these French players coming in, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Thierry Henry gets photographed at BH in a Villa shirt this week.

[mr underhill]

he'd be a better signing than adebayor

[frank black]

This Berbatov-petrov chatter, must be our attempt to call Levy's bluff. We can't be interested in berba, surely?

[asgpaul]

Have we allocated squad numbers yet?  I can't see any reference to them. 

I'm a bit of a traditionalist when assigning players a shirt number.  Just wondering whether Tim has that No 4 shirt 'reserved' for anyone in particular?  I'm still holding out for 9 being reserved for Austin (tho' highly unlikely now) failing that would prefer Gestede wearing it, I know Sinclair had it last season, but Sinclair really isn't a No 9!
