Summer Transfer Thread: Speculation, Lies, Absolute Cr*p and Bosman Rumours

[VillaAlways]

Pravda on Heskey


He was a man mountain in keeping possession up top when Villa attacked, he scored a fair few goals and he was also a big voice in the dressing room too.

Lol

[garyshawsknee]

Would the young swiss keeper(insert name) be ready to move up to second choice?

[OCD]

'Scored a fair few goals'?! Weimann's already catching up with him.

[James]

Andy Marshall is out of contract too isn't he? Or am I making that up? 

Cuellar already linked with Sunderland, journalism is easy money these days isn't it?

[danlanza]

So, the clearout has begun. Will there be any one left for a new manager to manage?

[UK Redsox]

Eight youth team released too,

None of whom I can remember any of our Reserve/Youth watchers raving about.

Were any of them ever seen as potential First Teamers ?

Ebby Nelson Addy, Connor Taylor, Charlie Ward, Reece Caira, Richard Bryan, Matthew Coton, Darious Darkin and Seb Jenkins have also been released from the academy.

[pauliewalnuts]

Wasn't Caira the Aussie lad who got involved in some red tape nonsense that left him unable to play for anyone for a while?

[TaxDodger]

Ebby Nelson Addy is a right back isn't he? I once gave him the number 42 squad number on football manager, and brought him off the bench against Swindon in the Carling Cup.

 If I were Cuellar I'd stay well clear of Sunderland. Unless he wants to continue playing 10 games a season, at RB.

I think he is and we've got an England youth (Webb) coming through in that position so it won't be a shock.

[Mazrim]

None of those academy players leaving is a suprise.

[VillaAlways]

I see John Carew has been released from West Ham. No surprise there

[Mister E]

Pardew continues to buy French - another midfielder joins his foreign legion.

[OCD]

Was he one of the one's linked to us when Houllier was in charge?

[The Situation]

If I remember it was Fofana we tried to sign. We were actually very close to signing him but the transfer broke down because of a concern of an injury he had I think.

We were in for Mohamed Sissoko too, but technically he's Malian.
