Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[paul_e]

According to a couple of Sheff Wed forums I took a look at Dielna is shit and they have no idea why a Premiership club are supposedly in for him.

Chesterfields forums said exactly the same thing about Bowery, and look how that turned out   

Not in any way suggesting a link but Belgian posters on this forum said that about Benteke.

And some twat from the eastern side of the North Sea described Niklas Helenius as a poor man's Zlatan Ibrahimovic.😳

In fairness the same twat did call Andreas Cornelius a poor man's Andy Caroll.😇

To be fair to whoever that person may have been if Tottenham defenders weren't allowed to pull people's shorts down in the box his career with us may have gone very differently, I think he was good enough to deserve more of a chance than he got.

I'm still staggered at how the ref just waved that whole incident away.

If that happened on a Sunday morning and I was in Vertongen's role I'd be sent off, a penalty would be awarded and all of my team-mates would have said "WTF....?" either at the time or later in the pub, over the next 25 years!

Another decent youngster signs from Southampton ( via  Blackburn & Real Madrid !!
....http://www.lep.co.uk/sport/southampton-star-niall-s-the-real-deal-1-6475608 )......................Godzvilla!

Aston Villa have announced that former Southampton midfielder Niall Mason is set to join the club on a permanent deal following a successful trial stint.

Mason, 18, linked up with Villa in April ahead of his Southampton contract expiring and went on to start all six of the Under-21 side’s remaining fixtures, scoring in the 3-2 win at Middlesbrough.

Featuring at both centre-back and in a defensive midfield role, the versatile teenager will now continue his footballing education in the Midlands after the coaching staff were impressed enough with his performances to offer him professional terms.

Having also been on the books of Spanish giants Real Madrid and Blackburn Rovers during his short but nomadic career, the Lancashire-native possess a great deal of potential and Villa manager Tim Sherwood could just be the ideal coach to help him fulfil it.

Mason is not the lone youngster committing his future to the claret and blues, though, with scholars Charlie Bannister, Rory Hale, Harry McKirdy Anes Omerovic, Joonas Sundman and Moustafa Zeidan all confirmed to be signing their first professional contracts with the club.

In addition, Under-21 prospects Riccardo Calder, Henry Cowans, Lewis Kinsella, Tom Leggett, Jerrell Sellars, Benjamin Siegrist, Ben Swift, Brad Watkins and Josh Webb are all penning contract extensions, while Liam Bateman is set to sign a month-to-month deal.

Along with Mason, the likes of Calder and Kinsella, who both featured on the senior bench last season, are worth keeping close tabs on moving forward, while Swiss goalkeeper Siegrist could well have a first-team future at Villa Park if he can recover from the broken leg sustained last month.

Whenever there's a dodgy refereeing decision in the PL, channel 6 over here tend to use a picture of that as a "what do you expect from English referees" reference point.

[paul_e]

I genuinely think that was the worst refereeing decision I've ever seen, it was so unbelievable that it's hard to take it seriously.  Look at the press reports from the time, they all take the piss rather than anything else because there really was nothing else to do.

[villadelph]

Glad Niall Mason is staying on.. hopefully our youth continue to improve, especially with the opportunity Sherwood presents.

[ozzjim]

Funny he seemed from his profile to be set for major stardom and lost his way at Southampton. Lets hope he fulfils the potential here.

Linked in France with young left back Jordan Amavi. Seems to be pretty highly thought of but not keen on the move.

Tom Huddlestone, oh dear

Sinclair, Richards, Huddlestone - whoever is next David Bentley?

It is a strange post. There isn't even a real link, they're not exactly all ex spurs. And we haven't got Huddle20stone.

I'll assume the first was a rhetorical question

Richards has played 19 league games in three years, injury prone and was ghastly overrated to begin with. Senderos mark 2

Sinclair - see above bar the injury prone part he just took a well paid career break, has ability but not sure our Tim rates him

Huddlestone is somewhere between the two and his ineptitude was key to Hull getting relegated this term. another one paced plodder is the last thing we need in midfield considering we have the likes of Westwood, Sanchez and Gardner still on the books.

our Tim was quite friendly with the media during his internship at the hotspurs, I expect all our signings and departures to be well flagged this summer

Just saw s link to a Fench site that said we were looking at a 21 year old full back from Nice called Amavi.

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Had a double-take at the £55 million in that link!

We had a couple of defenders from Southampton's academy last year  - and we just released one of them.
