Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[supertom]

Cattermole is a shower of shite. Bloody awful player. Martin O Neill isn't here any more so there's no chance of us signing someone like that. Plus he'd want at least 40 k a week.

[Clampy]

It's a no for Cattermole from the Clampy jury as well.

[Toronto Villa]

If we want to play with 10 players for most of our games this season we can save some cash, not buy Cattermole and encourage Delph to regress. As it is, I'd sooner play with 11 players every game and keep Delph on the path to being a very good battling midfielder.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Not a chance PL would be interested in Cattermole. His philosophy is team building not team splitting .......

[ashkar]

I think Lambert has covered most positions now (except for right back). Dont think there is going to be a big name signing.

More importantly I think Lambert is going to play the 3-5-2 formation more regularly. So that would mean 3 centre backs and two wing backs. Luna and Joe Bennett are ideal as the left wingbacks. But we need a backup for the right wingback position.

Btw can Elliott Bennett play the wing back position? If so then the link makes sense. Russell Martin of Norwich could be a cheap option as cover for both Centre Back and Right Back but dont think he can be effective as a wing back.

I know he splits opinion but Lee Cattermole looks as though he is available. Proper nasty bastard that we lack in midfield.

Brave post. The split seems to be you vs. everyone else

[ozzjim]

Still think we will sign Luke Murphy at some point this summer.

[Mazrim]

Is Cattermole definitely a footballer and not some clumsy bricklayer playing the odd Sunday league game?
Probably the shittiest footballer in the world. Any world.

[Singapore Villa]

Cattermole?  Dear oh dear oh dear.  He is absolutely gash.  Move on.

[Singapore Villa]

Mark Schwarzer as no. 2 keeper on 1 year deal whilst Siegreist (excuse spelling) develops?

[damon loves JT]

Lee Cattermole is the kind of player so bad he will end up in Scotland.

[oldtimernow]

Is the guy Douglas that Newcastle have messed around worth a punt on a Bossie?

[sirlordbaltimore]

He's a centre back isn't he ?. Not sure we need anymore

[paul_e]

I think you're all undervaluing the real reason to sign Cattermole.

If someone that shit can convince multiple managers to:

a.  Pay for him
b.  Renew his contract
c.  Actually let him on the pitch

Surely he's perfect to get in, get him to convince Benteke to commit his future to the club, then let him go again.

Mark Schwarzer as no. 2 keeper on 1 year deal whilst Siegreist (excuse spelling) develops?

He'd be earning roughly the same as Given, which would defeat the purpose really. Also, isn't it about time Schwarzer moved to Arsenal? He's also not gonna warm a bench at his age. He'll want to play or he may as well call it quits.
