To be fair I don't think we can worry about all of this until we know what division we'll be playing in next season. Whichever it is I hope Lambert is the manager.

This thread as usual is complete waste of breath. I can not remember anything predicted or ITK coming to be in the past 1/2 dozen transfer windows.

A lot of people worked out Benteke about 3-4 days before from the murmurings. And Vlaar was pictured on another site at VP. So some things do happen, but I get the impression that deals these days are a bit like sperm trying to break into the egg, we send out a load of seed, and see which one breaks through. Westwood was not even on the table until late the day before the deadline according to the Crewe manager.

That's not really the point of it.

It's so that when newspaper links crop up then we don't have different threads for each pointless rumour that eastie has found in The Mirror.

understand your point and maybe thus thread is used for newspapers too for making transfer gossip !
I think have to take it as it is and speculation and opinions always abound so lets embrace it and discuss.
I would like to see a flying versatile full back/central defender- vertognhen type. I see need for a couple of pacey wingers. A necessity of 2 midfielders, box to box and creative. And finally a goal getting striker too replace the departing Bent. Now we're talking do folk have ideas/rumours/anything on players in these positions who would be part of the rise of villa!

So Bent is leaving then ? Gossip ? Speculation ? Or just a wild stab in the dark ?

I think there's a good chance we'll be in for the other lad from Crewe, whichever division we're in. Plus we,ll have Gardner back.  Bt I'd still want a more physically dominating central midfielder in there. And we obviously need a centre back.

Wouldn't be surprised to see something like:

In: first choice centre back, first choice option for defensive midfielder, number 10 or wide option, back up big centre fwd - a youngster for when benteke goes.

Out: lichaj, herd, Dunne, bannan, Ireland, fonz

Nd try and hold on to benteke and weimann

Dont let the fact that in 8 years on the site eastie has never ever started a thread about a transfer rumour get in the way will you dave !

The thread itself is full of speculation , rumours and suggestions and serves its purpose.
