Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[PeterWithe]

Hutton came back in and did very well, he also showed the kind of mental steel we are so short of, I'd keep him, he struggled a bit after the injury but overall, if he'd stayed fit, he may have won player of the year.

The main reason I'd cash in now is because of his age and because he had a good season he's one of the few players (Tekkers aside) that might bring in a bit of money to add to the kitty. Not a great deal, 2 million, but it would also free up the wages too.

I also do worry that since Sherwood came in, Hutton's reverted back slightly to some of his heart-stopping challenges. He has had injuries and had to play at the left a couple of times, but he's not looked great under Timmy.

It's vital that we get some resale value on some of the players on the outskirts of the squad and those that just aren't good enough.

Keeping players like Bennett and Lowton and Luna etc to give them another chance or see what they can do under a new manager will just result in us being lumbered with more years of paying them and getting nothing in transfer fee's when they inevitably leave us.

Cash in on whatever we can get for them now, a couple of million here and a few million off the wage bill.

Heaton would likely cost a fair bit though, and has he done much more than say Scott Carson had when we bought him in? Vorm was excellent for Swansea I admit, and Fabianski seems to have done well there. I quite like, despite the inconsistency at times, the guy at Arsenal who played in the cup final who might be off if they sign Cech this summer. Not a fan of Green or Harper from QPR and Hull. I do quite like Pantillimon at Sunderland too, there is something about a big commanding keeper. But are any of them really better than Brad? I am not so sure.

I think Brad's come to the end of his time at Villa. We need to freshen the spine of the side, including the goalkeeper. 
Vorm would be my first choice. We might be able to get him at the lure of first team football too.

The same Vorm that went to Spurs to be Lloris back up? Great with the ball at his feet but soft as putty too.

I'm in the give Guzan another go category. Sometimes we overlook the positives in players and look to first what they can't do. Think the time to seriously review our goalkeeping dept is when Given leaves.

I see Trippier is linked with us today along with a few more clubs. Hutton showed rampant unprofessionalism during his time at Spurs including being miles overweight for a time. Sherwood will be well aware of that. Wouldn't be surprised to see someone come in for him after a relatively solid season for us and getting a few quid for him.
Lowton being linked to Middlesboro, would be a good move for him

Yes, that Vorm.  He tried his luck at a top club. Couldn't push Loris for his place, but I think he'd do well with us.

At the very least, we need to fill the following positions if the report in teh Telegraph is to be believed:

GK

RB
Ron Vlaar
Ciaran Clark
LB

DMF
Fabian Delph
Tom Cleverley

Scott Sinclair
Jack Grealish
Libor Kozák

Subs from:
Jed Steer
Jores Okore
Leandro Bacuna
Gabriel Agbonlahor
Ashley Westwood
Gary Gardner
Joe Bennett
Carlos Sánchez
FWD
FWD

I'd hold on to Hutton and Guzan as I don't think we'll having anything like the wedge to bring in better players in their positions. And if we don't get £32.5m in one single transaction for Benteke, we would be better off keeping him.

God that's one awful squad, we are seriously in trouble if that isn't backed up with quality signings this summer.

Cleverley will probably be off so we would need to replace him.

That's my point, really. Where the hell is the money going to come from for a root and branch overhaul of the squad. If Randy can't sell and won't invest, we will be in serious trouble.

Derby County: Aston Villa forward Andreas Weimann on Rams radar

Fingers crossed this is true and a deal can be done.

The Telegraph saying that Derby will offer £2m for Weimann.

He is a great deal for them at that price.

He'll do well for them at that level I think. I think if he gets to play a Bent kind of role at that level he should score more goals. He's not a winger at all.
I like Andi because of his application. The lad works his bollocks off, but he's just so poor with the ball at his feet.

Get a sell on clause in there, I can see him doing well if hes the main man up front

As a centre forward I reckon he's ok .

Yep, he would be a big hit in the Championship.  Played up front in a front two, he would do well in that league.

If we'd gone down this season (or any of the last few seasons in fact) then Weimann would have been fine as our striker to try and go back up again.

It's just that he's not quite good enough for the league that we're thankfully in.

Anywhere between £3-5m would be a very decent deal for a wealthy Championship side.
