Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[phantom limb]

We do need a proper squad, what with injuries and such. I think we only need to definitely get rid of the players who are complete lost causes.

[OzVilla]

From that list I'd be keeping Baker, Bacuna, Lowton and Guzan.

Add to the wish list of departures, Given, Tonev*, Luna*, Helnius*, Sylla* and Bennett.

* I'm assuming they're technically still Villa players.

[ozzjim]

Guzan should be kept and be number 1 but then Gil should have had more that 60 minutes game time since Sherwood arrived.

I will be most annoyed if Carles Gil is one of the players told to leave......I can see him ending up at a rival club and haunting us over the coming seasons.

Unfortunately Sherwood seemed to have a problem with soldado, lamela and eriksen at spurs. Gil is in the same quality and non english .There's a video interview harry kane and christen eriksen thoughts on Tim Sherwood after 3-1 win over Fulham. Eriksen gives a diplomatic response to be asked his thoughts on Tim. I imagine as Sherwood never played abroad he couldn't grasp the difference and time it may take a player off field to adapt and his old school management will see us sign players not of that flair variety. Esp if they haven't already performed in prem like Charles ' i watched his goals at wigan 'nzogbia. Fair play to nzog who got his head down with extra training and got fit to get in team but think he got complacent when he became a Sherwood starter we be seen his performances tail off.

There must surely be a plan a and a plan b.

We are up for sale and ( fingers crossed) will be purchased this summer and that will change the dynamics - plan b.

Let us hope.

If you haven't read the Lerner interview, I'd read it. He clearly states how he dealt with the situation last year and its pretty much the same.
If we are not sold I'd expect limited transfers but we should be better off because we are without Lambert.

[Steve67]

Rip it up and start again. Keep Delph, Grealish and Clark, and now Sinclair. The rest, I wouldn't lose any sleep over if they went, didn't sign a new contract or sign for the club having been here on loan. The Benteke money is probably the only hope Tish has got to overhaul the squad. Don't hold your breath for loads of Lerner lolly.  Some of the rest are average, many are below average, hence the four relegation scraps in four years. Some are downright crap.  Tish has done a decent job so far in keeping us up but he really has his work cut out.

As well as Carles Gil, Andreas Weimann and Philippe Senderos, Aly Cissokho, Matthew Lowton, Brad Guzan, Shay Given and Joe Cole, Sherwood is understood to be willing to let Nathan Baker, Kieran Richardson and Alan Hutton leave Villa Park this summer.

Quite the list and we still have Bennet / Sylla / Tonev /Helenius to shift

I can't believe Sherwood would be stupid enough to list the players on his 'exit' list ... pure speculation

Unless they are coming back to the club!!

[frank black]

Apparently there will be a few changes but no major surgery.

Which I agree with. Get in a quality left back, centre half and a striker. That'll get us to mid table IMO.

[Le Lapin]

Would be pissed off if Cleverley ended up Everton. We have helped him find his mojo only for Everton to be the beneficiaries. It has been reported that he is in talks with Everton.

Im not sure how bothered I am with this rumour, his six or seven excellent games have been book ended by thirty odd average ones.

Average is quite generous for a lot of those, too.

Tish has done a decent job so far in keeping us up but he really has his work cut out.

I went out with a Tish (short for Itisha). She did a magnificent job in keeping me up.
