Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

A fit daniel sturridge?

Does such a thing exist?

Can Da Silva do a Bryan/unsworth/Willian and move villa !

Willian hasn't gone anywhere.

Years ago, Willlian was supposedly all set to sign for Liverpool. Then, at the last minute, he took a left turn at Albuquerque and ended up at Chelsea.

thought it was spurs and Chelsea bid for him because they can

Could have been, I've had sleep since then. Just seem to remember some photo of Will I Am in a Liverpool shirt doing the rounds and lots of people saying that's as close as they'll get.

I am more than happy to day your memory will be better than mine.

As Will I am came into UK main stream in 2011 or so and willian of Chelsea signed a few years later he  was and has been mispronouced.
And referred to as will I an .

It's when the footballer pundits and presenter and talkers to do it that grates me .

And even if they dont say "will -I -an " they may  say "willy-anne" or
"will-yun "

It's will-yan .

Anyway have me up for deviations from transfers to villa.

Though he is a da Silva like the left back on loan to Bristol cities.

[Big Dick Edwards]

There must be plenty of decent Premier League players available to loan given the frenzy of window activity, at West Ham in particular. If Andy Carroll is ever likely to be fit he would be good for us in this league.

As for a centre half, has John Terry retired?

[footyskillz]

Shane Long was not even in the squad for Southampton today.

Not greatest scorer but works and would press from front and decent in air !

I feel he someone on loan that could be taken .

As regards Andy Carroll he's injured and injury prone . I rather take Jon Walters for the nusiance value or outrageous loan move for Danny wellbeck if not Tammy Abrahams

[Marlon From Bearwood]

Abrahams didn’t even make Chelsea’s bench this weekend and neither did Welbeck at Arsenal.

[cheltenhamlion]

Abraham, Creswell and, if I am being greedy, one of the 2000 thousand central defenders Leicester have.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

Creswell is a decent shout. No longer in favour at WHU but surely still a competent Championship full back.

[OCD]

Creswell would be brilliant. With Bats...wotshisface going on loan Chelsea have left themselves with 3 strikers including Abraham so I'm not sure that's likely. Shane Long wouldn't be a bad shout. He would be a presence, can hold the ball up and he'll press from the front relentlessly. His not known as much of a goalscorer but maybe he could be in a lower league and with some supply.

I would say Long would be an ideal signing really.  Real nuisance up front and would score goals in the Championship. 

[Meanwood Villa]

Not sure Long is the answer, think he's past it in truth. We definitely need another striker in from somewhere though.

[Smoke]

I'd prefer we went for a young striker with promise looking to make a name for themself over an older player who's not quite good enough at their prem club anymore.

Shane long no thanks hasn't he got a similar scoring record to gabby over the last few seasons?

[johnny from donny]

I would be delighted if we got Cresswell.
