Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[Dante Lavelli]

Ki has looked good in every match I've seen him.  He always looks comfortable on the ball and keeps the play ticking over.
A good signing as an alternative to Westwood, I'm not sure he'd be suited to the other midfield roles.

My prediction based upon details of a recent conversation I had  with an individual who is associated with the club
Players who may be leaving in the summer = Helenius, Tonev and Luna
Player not coming in the summer = Hoolihan
Potentially 5 new players coming in

Guess work pal, total guess work.

Your mate at Bodymoor been hacking the manager's voicemail again?

Go on then Dan, do tell what is going to happen? All very well being critical of a poster simply stating what they have heard, but back it up with your version at least?

Critical ? Not really. And my version counts for nothing, as i know nothing and never have. Even if i had heard something experience has taught me to keep it to myself.

From f365:

"The 24-year-old is approaching the end of his second season in Germany, having moved to the Bundesliga from French outfit Metz.

His progress has been closely monitored by a number of sides, and they are now ready to make their move.

Freiburg would be reluctant sellers, but Diagne is determined to make the most of a golden opportunity.

He claims the likes of Aston Villa, Fulham, Borussia Dortmund, Bordeaux and Rennes are all chasing his signature, and he will make a decision on his future when the summer transfer window opens.

Diagne told RFM: "The club and the coach do not want to let me go but (other) clubs do not want to miss out on me."

One sticking point in any Premier League move for Diagne could be his lack of international experience.

He is yet to be capped by Senegal at senior level and may struggle to obtain a work permit unless he can obtain an EU passport."

The situation with Helenius really intrgues me. What the hell has been going on that he has not had any gametime and is no longer even on the bench? - why no loan-term with a Championship side?

A touch of the Ali Dia about that imo.

Thats your perogative - I don`t always post what I hear as it would give away my source and betray a confidence - however where the information is fairly general I will share it as it wouldn`t be damaging to the club or the individual concerned. I realise many on here  are sceptical of "In the know informants" etc- I am happy in the knowledge that the information shared with me is 100% true .

Your mate at Bodymoor been hacking the manager's voicemail again?

No just talking with a neighbour who is, shall we say " linked with AVFC"

[PeterWithesShin]

Dave's comment was aimed at Dan not you VCTM.

I also got the impression from someone at the club who will definitely know what they are talking about that Tonev will probably be a goner. Helenius will remain here i'd have thought.

Not you.

[Toronto Villa]

I can see Tonev and Luna gone, along with Sylla, Stevens, Bowery, Given, Bent and Hutton. Possibly N'Zogbia though I'm not convinced of that. I think Helenius will be shipped out on loan for some seasoning.

[eastie]

I wouldnt be too surprised if helenius went - ,he seems to have slipped out of the reckoning in recent weeks ,all 3 were quite minimal fees and low risk .

As for possibly 5 coming in i would hope they would  be in the main players to go into the team rather than squad players - we need to add quality.

[villa `cross the mersey]

"Doh" or "my bad"  ..........whatever the in- phrase is for ..."I`ve been a twonk"

[Clampy]

I reckon just the likes of Bent, Hutton, Given, Delfounseo will go and possibly N'Zogbia and Sylla. I think he'll hang on to the others he brought in last August for another season to give them time to settle.
