Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[Dave]

Okay, i'm getting confused again between the Villa transfer thread and the other clubs transfer thread.

The problem is that the "Other Clubs Transfers" thread was moved out of the main section.

IMO it should have stayed in here until the end of the Window.

It's not that complicated. This thread says 'Villa transfers', so it is for talking about Villa transfers.

We have an 'Other Football' forum where we talk about other football. That is where the thread on 'Other Club's Transfers' goes because it's about other football.

Personally I'd have the Other Games thread in there as well, but there you go.

We had been linked with Austen earlier in the window so it can be ever so slightly related to us. I for one will breath a sigh of relief knowing we're not signing him.

Maybe they forgot to do a drugs test.

Is there a campaign we can sign up to? Bring it back in here.

Charlie Austin signs for qpr

These have nothing at all to do with Villa.

Villa are doing nothing at the moment so hardly surprising people are meandering to other transfers in here.

does it really matter if the thread has non-villa transfer talk in it?  Other threads have been derailed for pages by subjects completely unrelated to the thread, it's not really harming the conversation to have the odd transfer snippet in here.

It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but what's the point of having two threads if you're going to use one for both just to keep it ticking over?

I don't disagree, but given we have so many cross over threads (there were 3 faulkner threads on the first page a week or so ago) I just find it odd that people are upset about this one.  Particularly given that when anything meaningful happens the players gets their own thread anyway.  I get that someone people might only come on occasionally and want this thread to be a concise summary of current rumours but that's almost impossible in an open thread.

It only needs 1 post from VK to get a couple of pages debate about Jonjo Shelvey, for example.

Yes, it's in the 'Other Campaigns' section. I've been vehemently suggesting it's brought back into this section, but without any joy so far, I'm afraid.

skysports say Sky Sources reveal Fulham made improved offer for Darren Bent today. Let hope it will spark other teams into action.

Just seen that. I think that a move to Fulham is a good move for him, should it happen.

I think it might just be turning into a one horse race. I think he'd do brilliantly at Stoke to be fair. He doesn't have to get involved in build up play and he'll have a big player alongside him doing the donkey work and making space for him. I don't now whether they'll continue spending more than their means on fees and wages though. Pulis spent a fair old wedge given the size of the club.
I think he'll end up at Fulham eventually.
