Summer transfer rumours, speculation and out-and-out b*ll*cks.

[Clampy]

I think Adam is going to shine at Liverpool. He can take very effective corners, free kicks, rarely misses pens and he's a bloody good passer of the ball.

[Matt C]

Only five Premier League clubs left to purchase players. Villa are one of them.

Strange because we're not normally slow in the market, oh wait...

Pretty much what Gerrard does but not as good?

Have to say, Adam for 7mill is a decent deal.

Only five Premier League clubs left to purchase players. Villa are one of them.

But of all the players signed by others, which ones have been 'getable' for the Villa?

Conor Wickham springs to mind thus far.

Isn't Gerrard injured most of time now?

Of those, us and Chelsea have new managers. Not that I wouldn't have minded seeing a signing or two by now, but you'd expect they want to get together with certain players to gauge their status at the club before spending. Or indeed selling anyone else. I think once all the players have reported back we'll see AM pull the trigger quite quickly on a few deals. Had GH still been here I'd fully expect that he'd have made some signings already and possibly sold even more players.

How many of the teams who have changed manager (Chelsea, Fulham ...) has signed any. As mentioned earlier, it's probably to early to talk about signings when the backroom staff isn't in place yet.

[Louzie0]

How many English midfielders can kenny collect before passing GO.
Well, somebody's got to sit on the bench.
Has anybody talked to stewie?
What about his international chops?  Limited opportunities at Liverpool. Shades of Jimmy...
Keep him but when Lpool get really aggressive, insist on Gerrard as a makeweight.

I'm not sure on his injury record I tend to avoid all things Liverpool. I still think there's much better out there than Adam and would spend my 7 mill elsewhere!

[tarzansbrother]

New spine starting with a keeper, then centre half, then midfielder. We already have Bent up front. Given looks like a done deal. Dann and Parker would be my choices with Nzogbia replacing Young.

[ozzjim]

Wouldnt have minded Adam but over priced considering his one season

So wheres Liverpool suddenly getting all this money from?

It's not getting spent on crippling interest payments anymore.

I'm not convinced by Adam either but I reckon £7m seems about right.

Yeah, £7 million seems fairly reasonable.

Especially considering you just spent £20 million on someone so unknown that would be able to walk into own family's house and not get recognised.

It wasn't £20m but point taken.

Yawn. Same way we did not pay 24 million for Bent. You only pay 16 for Henderson long term if he is shite.


As for Villa, this is a Villa site still I think...


We need to buy soon simply to inject some positivity into the club. Even on loan if we could pull off a player like Diego it would give the whole feel such a lift.

And where do Spurs get a 13 million valuation of Krankjaer from? If so, Downing must be worth 25 at least! Krankjaer started 2 games last season!

[Karl Bridges]

We've got Dunne & Clark as left footed CBs surely Dann would be wasted money that could be used elsewhere.

[Mazrim]

I wouldnt pay £3m for Kranjcar. Absolute useless wanker.

[Rigadon]

I wouldnt pay £3m for Kranjcar. Absolute useless wanker.

Hallelujah.

Our defence was toilet last season. We need a new presence there who will show them the art of defending
