Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

[Mister E]

For one reason or another, it quite simply hasn’t worked out for him at Villa. It’s best for both the player and the club that he is sold and we move on.

See, this is the point, isn't it? I thought that his main problem was simply that he needed a fresh start; that the Villa experience just hadn't worked out for him. So, his loan to SheffU should have been his opportunity for a fresh start.
He flopped.

He needs to leave us - and quickly - but I wouldn't wish him at my club, unless I had a strong main striker for Scottie to link with and play off.

Hogan, to be anywhere near effective, needs to play in a counter attacking team who play with fast wingers who get plenty of early crosses across the face of goal.  His movement in the box isn’t bad.

That doesn’t sound like Cardiff though.

Hogan never really impressed me in a Villa shirt but he looked half decent in a few Sheffield United games I watched last season.

Same, I didn’t get the impression he’d flopped over there.

Phil ‘return of the dark ages’ McNulty says we are not interested in Sturridge.

Just can't see it either.  Would completely go against what seems to be the policy we are currently implementing.

is this link to Cardiff real or just  get our hopes up bs?

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

I know this is not the right thread. But has anyone got a link for the Minnesota full match

And the Hart link, flies in the face of the rest of our business. Maybe there were whispers they were of interest to 'a promoted side'.

Bruce is after Bowen - he's going to be a very good buy for someone.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Cannot understand how DS never went in for Bowen. 22yrs old-22 goals last season & 4 assists 10-15m-English.
Massive upgrade on Green and is totally on par with the English game unlike Trezeguet ….

Percy saying Trezeguet done for £8.75m  plus significant add ins. Medical this weekend.
If Percy is saying it then I guess it’s true.

still not convinced when I have watched him but Im sure hes a good player that DS will get the best out of him. Would have loved Bowen instead.

Got to trust in Dean Smith.

With regards to Hogan I know that in the past he hasn't followed simple instructions when training which leads me to believe his attitude isn't always the best.

scott hogan being linked to us . what's your thoughts on him and could do he a job under warnock ?

his biggest strength is running around all over the pitch very fast looking like he’s being chased by a wasp

add a bit of the Benny Hill music and your about there
