Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[villadelph]

We've been linked with centre-back called Florentin Pogba for a reported fee of £2.5m

More CBs..? I can think of more appropriate needs.

Not sure if this has been posted but Bruce being a twat...again ! (from Birmingham Mail)

Aston Villa have been warned they won't get Hull defender Andrew Robertson on the cheap.

Tigers boss Steve Bruce puts the 21-year-old left-back in the same bracket as Luke Shaw who moved from Southampton to Manchester United for £30 million last summer.

And Bruce insists a £12 million price-tag being mentioned in connection with the Scottish youngster "would just about buy his right leg- and he's left-footed."

He couldn't get into a side that got relegated so his valuations are about right then. You have to wonder what some of these managers are smoking.

Signed for Hull for nearly £3m and he expects 10 times the amount after a year and making less than 30 appearances...in that case we shouldn't accept anything less than £100m for Benteke based on Bruce valuations.

This is confirmed in the Metro in relation to "alleged" interest from Arsenal.

Also this Metro article suggests Arsenal and Chelsea are looking for players with CL experience so they may not be in for Benteke...but seeing as both articles are almost identical and written by the same journo then I'd say he's just edging his bets and talking shite.

I'd prefer Benteke if he leaves to go abroad.

You're right because our defence was so healthy and superb all season.

Our fundamental need is to stop leaking goals and have a back five that can stay injury free. Currently, we have Senderos, Vlaar and Baker all of whose fitness is unreliable.

I would love to see the expression on Bruce's face when Robertson's Agent walks into his office in a few weeks time demanding a wage  commensurate with his transfer value!

I know that mitrovic is meant to be batshit crazy, and I've never seen him play. But the YouTube video does look quite promising at least (obviously a huge health warning on that)

That would be merciful.

I doubt Benteke will go abroad.  He has a Premier League premium in that he has a good track record here.

Vlaar, Baker, Clark, Okore, Senderos.. While not the most talented bunch it is arguably our deepest position. Yeah let's address that when we're soon to have no adequate strikers and such phenomenal outside backs.

In the Championship at that!

Or the look on his face when he is handed his P45 for the horrendous job that he did last season.

Didn't he sign a brand new contract just a few weeks ago?
