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

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Fair enough he made a good start in Ghostbusters but what does he do now? he's more of a behind the scenes type and we should be going for the Bill Murray's of the world. If Wigan want him, meh.

He had a small scene in  'As good as it gets' as a Doctor he came round to have a look at Helen Hunt's  Helen Hunt.

Didnt know where to post this but its to do with selling players...

Everyone wants rid of Hutton and Warnock... I agree with Warnock as he has been poor for last few seasons.

Hutton on the other hand, has only had 1 season playing for the worst Manager in our PL history,  There are sunderland fans I work with (i am in North East) who think hes a great player and where gutted he didnt sign at the end of his loan deal...

PL has left him behind without really evaluating him and I just wonder if he deserves more of a chance as you cannot really judge any of our players on last year, otherwise we would only be keeping Given, Petrov and Wiemann...

I must admit I wanted rid, but on reflection with the new positivity around villa, should he be given a chance?

[pauliewalnuts]

No.

[garyshawsknee]

I'm sure Lambert knows enough about Hutton already to realise he's not good enough,even a lot of us on here knew that before he'd even signed for us.

I thought he played really well in one game last season, Arsenal at home, and even then he managed to get himself sent off.

Hutton is a liability, his positioning is terrible and he tries to make up for it by throwing himself into challenges.

Warnock needs to go because he's not the player he was at his best and he probably can't get back to it, Hutton needs to go because he is the player he was at his best and it's a long way short of the standard needed in the premier league.

You can write the same by replacing Warnok with Dunne and Hutton with Collins as well, although Collins is probably a lower mid-table standard player.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I think all the squad should be given a chance bar Mutton and Warnock.
The perfomances they inflicted on us last season, means to my mind, there can be no redemption.

Warnock was beyond a joke and Hutton seriously looks as if he's wondered out of a Wetherspoons  and staggered onto the Villa Park pitch.

Sunderland loaned him but brought Wes Brown instead of him, then TSM came along and brought a player whose  parent club didn't want him as he probably wasn't even going to be second choice RB never mind going to be first choice and his loan club changed there mind about him and brought some one else who is older and plagued by injuries - that doesn't bode well as a sign of a player that will improve and show some quality and Lambert and his guys would of done their homework on us last season and he will of watched him at International level being a fellow Scot and will know exactly what sort of player he is - one that wasn't wanted by 2 other clubs and was brought for at least twice as much as he was really worth as 3rd choice player at his club.

I actually don't see any redemption from him and will expect if we do manage to sell him it will be to the Championship or back up to Scotland where 3/4 the SPL is made up of Championship level clubs.

With the demise of Rangers, I'd put the fraction at eleven twelfths

[villastikz]

I was trying to be polite - didn't want to be too disparaging about the newly formed Celtic Premier League

With the demise of Rangers, I'd put the fraction at eleven twelfths

I'd put the fraction at one twelfth.

The rest of them are League One level.

Need a like button - The top 4-5 championship clubs would be title challengers in scotland in my opinion, it's a very very poor league.

I remember Wycombe Wanderers whilst in league 2, signing Chris Suttons younger brother. He'd just come from the SPL and had a fairly decent goal scoring record. He came to Wycombe and couldn't hit a barn door. 2 years later he went back to the SPL and scored goals again.
So yeah, the SPL is bobbins and it's now turned into a one team league. I just don't see the point now. Everyone else is playing for 2nd place, but if your 20 points off the top, what's the point?

Agreed; well summarised, Sir.

Anthony Stokes - barely got a look-in for Sunderland's reserves. Goes to the SPL and all of a sudden he's one of the best strikers they've seen since Henrik Larsson.

The all time record SPL scorer managed 6 in 27 games in the Championship before being shunted out.

Terrible, terrible league.
