Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[supertom]

Sinclair and TC signed up would be a great start. Then we can bring in 2-3 more players on top (especially a Left Back). Job done.

[pauliewalnuts]

Being about to sign for us and having Albion "hijack" the deal?

Surely even the likes of the local media can spot the great big reality hole in a concept like that?

Never under estimate how much more viscous than porcine excrement they can be.

Don't forget they're the ones that reported a Chinese consortium being at due diligence with us, but keeping an eye on the Junction 1 truck stop bunch as an alternative.

Nick mashiter reckons the Sinclair deal is practically done

He's more of a winger whereas grealish looks more of a no 10

Might have been covered elsewhere, but why wasn't he on the bench on Saturday.  Agree with the second point and think he would replace N'Zogbia in the current line up rather than Grealish.

Would Sir Tim be able to get good usage from Kevin P Boateng? Released today by Schalke.

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Sinclair would be more of an alternative/backup to Gabby or N'Zogbia.

[tom jennings III]

I would have Sinclair over both of them, agree that's his competition though.

Could have been a fitness issue perhaps. Otherwise I think he'd have been there over Weimann.

[passitsideways]

I can't remember seeing Sinclair play out on the right: he seems to be all about cutting in from the left to shoot. I suspect that if he stays, he'll either backup Grealish, or he'll play on the left side of a front two, or maybe Jack plays more centrally with Sinclair flanking him.

I actually think he and Gil are sort of a mirror image of the Grealish-CNZ combo behind Benteke: with him as the pacey dribbler and Gil as the left-footed Grealish starting on the right but effectively just floating around looking to link up play.

[ozzjim]

Sinclair looks a better player than gabby nzogbia and Weimann to me.

[PaulWinch again]

He's certainly a good option.

Aston Villa transfer target Florin Andone suffers complete head loss

http://metro.co.uk/2015/05/11/aston-villa-transfer-target-florin-andone-suffers-complete-head-loss-5190594/

Aston Villa transfer target Florin Andone has suffered from a complete head loss following his side’s latest defeat in La Liga.
Cordoba had already been relegated and are 11 points adrift of the rest of the league.
The Romanian striker went berserk after his team’s 2-0 defeat to Granada and launched into a huge rant.
‘I’m angry because I suck, I can’t F***ing pass, I’m fed up,’ he said. ‘We are all thinking about next season and we don’t go and play with dignity.

‘If we suck we suck but at least we must go on the field and play with attitude, with effort.
‘We had an awful match. Didn’t shoot once. Please let this league end because we’re pathetic.’

Maybe Villa should think twice before signing this guy…

He may Suck but at least he cares....

Aston Villa plot summer move for Nottingham Forest winger

Aston Villa plot summer move for Nottingham Forest winger
Premier League side Aston Villa have been linked with a move for Nottingham Forest winger Michail Antonio, according to reports on SBNation.com.

Antonio is a major transfer target for Aston Villa
The West Midlands side have been linked with a move for their local rivals winger Bakary Sako but the Wolverhampton Wanderers man is demanding £50,000 a week, and Villa are not prepared to pay that sort of money for him.

Therefore, Villa boss Tim Sherwood has turned his mind to capturing Forest player of the season Antonio. The wide man has bagged himself an impressive 15 goals in the Sky Bet Championship this season as well as pitching in with 12 assists for his team which is a good tally for a winger.

If the move for Antonio did materialise, it would put some Aston Villa player’s futures in doubt. The most notable of those would be Charles N’Zogbia who has only just started to feature again under Sherwood but his performances have not been up to the standard that the Villa Park faithful are looking for.

No fee has been mentioned as of yet but the situation of the Nottingham Forest player is one that will certainly develop over the summer months.

Anyone been watch Forest play and can tell us all some more about Antonio?

Tom Cleverley admits he loves playing for Aston Villa and would definitely consider permanent switch from Manchester United

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3075875/Tom-Cleverley-admits-loves-playing-Aston-Villa-definitely-consider-permanent-switch-Manchester-United.html

Smiles, not money, have convinced Tom Cleverley a permanent move to Aston Villa is something he should pursue this summer.
The central midfielder has been a shining light in Villa’s recent resurgence, his latest show-stopping performance coming as he scored a third goal in as many games on Saturday.
That win all but secured their Premier League safety and Villa manager Tim Sherwood wants to hold talks with Cleverley, a free agent when his Manchester United contract expires, in the coming weeks.

The 25-year-old is receptive to that — although there are likely to be a string of offers here and abroad.
‘I’ve really got to like playing for this club in the last few months,’ Cleverley said. ‘This manager, you have to give him credit for getting me where I am over the last few weeks.

‘I feel like I’m playing in my best position, confidence is high. Not only among myself but also among the team. All those factors help. I’m happy and playing with a smile on my face.

Sign him out on a 4 year deal and lets move on......
