Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[OCD]

Welcome Lyewho??? There's a few there that I've not heard of - Sidney, Mbemba and Embola. I don't think James Wilson is out of contract but he's been touted as a possible loan target. We've also been linked to Patrick Bamford so the media seem to think we're looking to loan a young forward.

[Dante Lavelli]

Michael Keane, centre back for burnley, is highly rated.  Maybe worth keeping an eye on him Sunday - if he plays - to see whether he would be a good fit.  With Burnley's relegation we might be able to buy him at a reasonable price.

[Toronto Villa]

Looks like we'll be cancelling the contract for Nicklas Hellenius. What an odd state of affairs that turned out to be. Not Mathieu Berson level odd but odd all the same.

Just a kid whcouldnt cope with moving away from home.  Suspect 50% of us would be same

I watched that Le Tiss doc the other day and the southampton manager between 85-91 said that one of his older brother's was a better player but just couldn't hack the whole footballing lifestyle (including moving away).

My mistake I thought Wilson's contract was up. Sidney Sam broke into the Germany team over the last couple of years and then moved to Schalke, he is a good player and if stories are true and his contract has been cancelled then we should be in for him. Anyway I can dream. Hopefully someone from the club vets these forums for supporter opinions etc..... Anyway he is a winger and if you get 5 mins watch this video of him.

 

The other two are just very good young players that have been touted as being future stars. As I said I can only dream, but I feel that our club mould needs to be one like spurs of old, which has seen them snatch good players at a young age and sell on. Even if the player is going to be a hit at Villa, we can still at least get our money back. Crucial if the fair play rules stay the same.

.....back to reality I feel we need to fill the following positions as priority and bolster the rest of the squad with good young players.

GK- Experienced GK is a must.
LB- Get this right as it hasn't worked for years!!!
RB- A young player
CB- long term alongside Okore
ST- Benteke understudy or replacement if he leaves

Oh and players  out...

Guzan- try and cash in
Baker- not pushed himself(hard to say as he's a Worcester lad)
Bennett- not at Prem standard
Wiemann- hasn't stepped up enough
Joe Cole- Would love him as a coach tho....
Richardson- enough said

[edgysatsuma89]

Ahhh yeah, our scouts love it on here. I didn't think we were ever going to bid for Petr Cech but they must have read how good he was on here.

[Alex77]

This morning we've been linked with Micah Richards. He seems to have been around ages but he's only 26.

Can't remember much about him in recent years,  but always thought that he was not a bad player and would certainly add to the attacking style we now have. It's a yes from me.

[SoccerHQ]

Would take Richards if solely he plays as RB. We're in trouble if he plays at CB as he is very poor in that position.

[Villan For Life]

I know he's a Brummie, but isn't he a Villa fan too? You would hope that counts for something if we are in for him but somehow I doubt it.

[KRS]

Micah Richards would certainly be one to consider. He was born in Birmingham apparently...do we know if he has any connections to Villa?

[SoccerHQ]

Think his mum gave birth in Brum and then moved up soon after. He grew up in Leeds I'm fairly sure.

Yes, he played his junior football in Leeds, for a side that my lad used to play against.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Has every Spurzzzz player managed by TS been mentioned yet?

There's a few at Hull who will all be linked with Villa should they go down.

Hopefully we won't sign any of them.

I like the look of Sterling and apparently he wants to leave ''The Mighty Reds YNWA'. Let's put a bid in.

According to the Man City fans I know Micah Richards is pretty much perma-crocked.

He's made 7 starts and 3 appearances off the bench for Fiorentina all season.
