Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[Mister E]

Well, I guess if Albrighton did go to Everton this might be an interesting thread to look back on.

Exactly my thoughts; lots of write-off comments here.

I hope he stays next season.

I think Albrighton is a decent squad player and should be kept on.

Martinez does like an old school winger it seems. 1-2 of his signings were out of left field, as this would be, but he tends to get a lot from his players.
That said, Albrighton should be kept on. He's still one of our best creative players. It'll take 2-3 windows before we have enough depth in the squad to make a player like Alby obsolete. He might not be great but he's definitely worth keeping on.

[The Laughing Policeman]

According to football rumours.co.uk Watford are looking at Albrighton.
Whether that means our Marc or they are thinking of relocating to that place just outside Wolvo I don't know.

I think Albrighton is a decent squad player and should be kept on.

Is he out of contract this summer? 
I'd offer him a deal as he is a good squad player who offers us a plan B.  Furthermore, I'd loathe to lose him for nothing.
Ultimately it will depend on what he asks for in wages.

Apparently Everton is willing to get Albrighton for next season.

The guy I sit next to was telling me on Saturday that Albrighton to Everton is already done.

I see Frimpong didn't last long at Barnsley.

I'd go into greater detail about Frimpong but there's some impatient sod at the door....

Apparently WM were peddling the Albrighton to Everton story last week. We shall see. Would we be due any compensation at all?

[PaulWinch again]

Albrighton not in the squad? maybe suggests something.

Apparently Everton is willing to get Albrighton for next season.

I can't see that somehow & wouldn't be concerned anyway.

He'll end up being like Farrelly, or a Stephen Froggatt.

And you're a fan of Nathan Baker? Weirdo.

[TheEgo]

If rumours of a billionaire consortium buying us are true then we won't be needing Albrighton next year.

[ozzjim]

If being a very key word.

[Villa in Denmark]

According to TV3+ over here, Arsenal are looking at Guzan.

If so you couldn't blame them or him for going.
