Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[olaftab]

I don't think we can brush away this McClean rumour!

You will always get linked with the shit in our position.Until they put pen to paper I am not taking any notice.

Good luck Tonev. You just didn't cut it at all in the PL. Maybe Scotland will be a better fit for you.

Another poor purchase it seems. An inexpensive mistake, but a mistake nonetheless.

It's a loan so if he gets playing well and confidence up he can always come back and start again. Every club makes them and for us it is better than making the "paid 7m on 50k a week" mistake that we've made in the past and a lot of clubs still make.

[Olneythelonely]

Well I certainly hope so.

True.

Mind you, so is selling players who don't do it for you rather than just loaning them out. We don't seem to do that.

Does anyone really think Luna is going to come back, magically improved after a year at Verona?

Slightly different, though, I don't know why, but I have a sneaking feeling Tonev might have something to offer. Mind you, I thought that about Helenius too.

I am guessing we would have sold them if we could but if Luna performs in Italy we have an option of bringing him back or he will alternatively have a resale value. If Tonev does some serious damage in Scotland with Celtic then the same thing applies. Helenius seems to be Steve 'Lonely Boy' Hodge MKII.

I doubt any of them are on much, so I assume the clubs they are going to will be paying pretty much all their wages. So we basically get a free year out of them to see if
a) they can be of use to us in the future
2) hope they have good seasons that mean we will get some decent money for them next summer
III) Be consistent

You totally plagiarised my post them and just added 'be consistent' to it. No wonder people get annoyed with the mods on here and bugger to the the bar of whatever it's called.

Telegraph say we're in talks to sign Carlos Sanchez from Elche for 4m.

Looks like he's the backup now Ki move is off....and not a bad alternative at all.

[Tuscans]

Stinks of a Villa signing to me. A championship player who will cost next to nothing, connections to the Irish team, played under Keane at Sunderland and more importantly he's crap.

Has Lamberts name written all over it.

Remind me - how many of our signings does that apply to? I make it none.

Well I wasn't actually comparing him to anyone. Lambert has bought a few players from the lower leagues, all fairly cheap and not very good. That with Keane and MON connections makes me feel it's a typical Villa signing.

It can't be typical if it's not happened before.

I've never heard of him and can't say I really remember him in the World Cup but others are saying he's what we need so I'll go with that.

Far from a bad alternative. I would be delighted to get him.
