Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

Barton Zamora Wright Phillips Dunne all available 

That Bobby Zamora goal in the MOTD goal of the season thing was an absolute belter.

[Malandro]

Could be a number of factors.

As ex Spurs yout, they might have a better relationship with Chris Ramsey than TS.

Going to a Championship side about to rebuild might give them more opportunity to play.

Or they might be the kind of twats whereby the Landan Life outweighs any other professional considerations.

I understand all that, but surely the lure of The Aston Villa should have been enough

[johnny from donny]

Can't say I'm too upset at not signing a couple of league one players really.  I would hope that our list of potential targets goes beyond former members of spurs youth team and their flatmates, regardless of what the media seem to think.
Saw someone on twitter linking us to Jamie Vardy, not for me,thanks.
I think Liverpool should be told to get stuffed if they come offering Ricky Lambert, wouldn't mind Charlie Austin alongside Benteke next season. Not instead of him.

[Steve67]

I know it's only paper talk but £8mill? Fuck sake, get real. Two league one players going to QPR instead of Villa? So what, move on. Do we really need to set our knickers over two league one players? Especially at that price.

Think it was $8m.

I see Mulumbu has been released by Sandwell. Seeing as we are short of numbers in midfield, would he be decent shout to bolster the squad in that area?

Australian dollars.

[warleyboy]

Yea it's 8 million Australian dollars which is basically 4 million pound.

[Toronto Villa]

Why is it only this one site reporting this apparently "done" deal?

We need quality not quantity.

[brontebilly]

but who will buy them? As in recent seasons, loans are the most likely strategy unless we literally, in some instances, give players away. And we still have last season's loan players coming back to worry about,  unless someone has snapped up the Tony Moon's etc. without me being aware of it.

for starters, Bent and Vlaar are probably with the exception of Benteke our highest earners so that money can be re-invested.

the tough decisions will be on those with only 12 months left, expect a few contracts to be terminated by "mutual agreement" in the summer and also cut price deals to get rid. 12 months left - Shay Given, Charles N’Zogbia, Nathan Baker, Joe Bennett, Ciaran Clark, Philippe Senderos, Kieran Richardson, Janoi Donacien, Yacouba Sylla, Nicklas Helenius, Leandro Bacuna, Joe Cole, Gary Gardner, Andi Weimann, Callum Robinson, Antonio Luna

Id keep Clark for sure and while Bacuna, Richardson, Baker have done enough for another 12 months.

Hutton, Lowton, Tonev and Kozak have 2 years left. Lowton and Tonev need to be cut loose, Kozak needs a loan spell to get back up to speed. Hutton, unless we can get in  a quality right back like Walker this summer then Hutton will do again next season. Think he has got worse the longer the season has gone on though.

Cissokho, Sanchez, Gabby, Gil - disappointing that Sherwood doesnt seem to rate Gil. Cissokho imo is hopeless so no loss, I like Sanchez but dont think he has the mobility Sherwood is looking for. I'm hoping this is the summer Gabby goes, he sums up the utter mediocrity at Villa Park imo. A Cameron Jerome clone at best. The hardest one to shift but I think there will be takers

Agree in most positions, but even if Cleverley signs, we need a couple of options in central midfield to cover him and Delph,

Blimey. With your cull we wont have a starting 11 let alone a squad!

[Matt Collins]

We have this every year. People suggesting selling about fifteen players

I think we'll see relatively few transfers in. As above, it's quality we need

My Albion mate Reckons he is past it
