[Ron Manager]

Don't forget re-signing John Phillips as first choice goalkeeper.

or Evan Williams.

Oops sorry I should have read the thread properly!!

I've already highlighted the feasible and reasonable options for transfers including Jonny Evans. villa will be operating as fit and signings like Evans would make great sense. Add a drogba, or hernandez along with ndoye or ings, Chester, Charlie Adams, Nolan, Phillips and along with micah Richards would be good summer. Heaton or Green as Gk then look to move on players.

Glad you're not in charge!

he's in my bomb squad

He blows hot and cold. A poor-mans Dalian Atkinson if you must. Moments of brilliance then totally frustrating, according to my Wolves supporting HT.

My mate said the same, apparently wolves fans have been telling him to no come to us and now he's not sure alegedly

Oh shit, I've just realised that's from page 1

Would like Finnbogason on loan with a view added if Weimann goes, yes he hasn't pulled up any trees so far at Sociedad but there's still a player there.

I must say I'm worried that we are pretty much only being linked with lower league players again. It's going to catch up with us some time.

It's all speculation at this point, but I would be concerned if we went down that route again.  I even saw the words "young and hungry" crop up again in an article yesterday discussing our transfer plans for the summer.  Obviously top internationals are out of our reach, but I would like to see us go for internationals from the next level down.  I am thinking along the lines of Mellberg, Bouma, Laursen and to some extent, Vlaar (minus the injuries!!).  All international players when they joined and all were relatively inexpensive.  That's the market that I would like to see us operating in this summer.

Well I'm pretty certain that if we replace Vlaar, Cleverley and Benteke with some guys from Hull and Swindon then we are fucked and Lerner is as bat shit as ever.

[PaulWinch again]

Yep if Benteke, Cleverley and Vlaar leave it's critical that we replace them with real quality.

Sherwood has a hell of a job this summer. We've coped losing star players before but what's left is pretty mediocre. Thank god for Delph and Grealish.

[silhillvilla]

My biggest fear right now is sherwood himself walking out.

[olaftab]

That is not  a situation I worry about and we should not fear. If he walks out that would say more about his lack of substance rather than cast any aspersions towards our Club.

Disagree . What it would show is a young , ambitious manager quite rightly saying no. If the budget is anywhere close to last summer (£8m ??) he needs to walk.

I would hope that before he took the job he was made some promises about transfers, provided he kept us up.  This is somewhat backed up by his recent comment that if there was a good case for a purchase and he convinced Lerner/Fox, there would be money available.
