Summer 2010 Transfer Thread: B*llsh*t, Rumours & Wishes

[Merv]

So, am I the only person that doesnt know Milner is off then?

No, I don't know either. I feel the outsider in the club. But I read a lot of football media and I haven't read that he's definitely going, either. Everyone else seems to know for sure - I must be missing out somewhere.

I'd say he's either definitely off, or definitely staying. One of the two.

I noticed this in todays papers again. I dont know why he have to wait to get rid first..

O’Neill is also plotting a move for Cardiff starlet Adam Matthews, 18, as soon as Villa ship out wantaway Luke Young.

We don't but if the story is posted like that and nothing happens for a month he can still say he's right but it's being held up by the young deal.  Then when nothing happens later it's because of the delays.

Nice simple technique for a journo to make shit up without risking too much credibility.

This rumour along with the Connor Wickham (Ipswich) one fill me with great hope. It shows we're looking long term and not just short term fixes

I think of those two and then our own new breed coming through. And I sense a great future side could be just around the corner as the older players in our current side start to leave.

i havent heard the connor wickham one, but if he comes to the villa, then i will be delighted... him and delfouneso would be excellent together...

Man city just announced the signing of David silva from Valencia.

and another nail gets hammered into the coffin of proper competetive football...

WTF is going on with villa? I reckon with man shitty signing these players some other decent players will get pushed out of the team like petrov, so clubs will have a close eye on them. Yet I am starting to run out if hope with MON we are getting no one and nowhere is he on holiday or is he too busy watching the world cup and not actually watching BUYABLE players we need a solid striker and a RB not cuellar or else we will go downhill VERY fast, is anyone else losing patience with MON or is it just me?

[mshurst]

It's the first of July tomorrow ... We've still got one and a half months before the start of the season.

We should all know by now that MON doesn't rush things, especially signings.

Also I am amazed at how luke young a quality player is casted out and replaced with a CB who shouldn't be in the first team in my oppinion -.-

A manager who is decisive, who shows he knows what he's doing in the market, who spends money wisely, who gets value for the millions he splashes out... any of the above would be nice. MON fills none of these criteria. I honestly couldn't care less if we sign anyone this window, because there's no way on God's green earth he's going to sign the players we need to progress.

I'm used to mons ways by now d boy and he's always been a manager who prefers to do business later rather than sooner-I would hope that he is at his desk by now though as some premier teams are already back in training

[d.boy junior(sid)]

I would hope so too but too me this is one of the best times to buy players so they can get the time to gel with the team well rather than be throb in at the last minute

Milner?

EDIT

Also, Richard Dunne for £6m - are you telling me that wasn't an amazing signing?

Petrov's already been released and has signed for Bolton.

I'm not even expecting us to sign anyone before late July to be honest.
