Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

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.

He's supposed to be a bit special, that would be a very good signing.

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

Amavi would be a really good signing. Usually always gets singled out for praise by those who follow French football.

Everton are buying deloefeu for £2m. Makes you think there must be better bargains abroad than Townsend for £15m.

Michu's contract at Swansea hasn't got long to run, he'd be a decent buy. Whether or not he would come here...

All most players at other clubs are going to be aware of is our five years of drain-circling, it's gonna be a difficult summer no matter who we may try to bring in.

Hasn't Michu been a complete waster since Laudrup went?

I was watching the home nations games over the weekend, and I think it was the Northern Ireland game a bloke called Andone (if I remember correctly) came on and they spoke about Villa being interested apparently. Any ideas?

Edit: just looked. Old news from april.

I have no idea if it is him but Villa went to watch a Romanian striker who plays for Stuea who is from my girlfriend's home town, according to her dad.

Piping hot ITK straight from the oven there.

Well it's a closer ITK than your cousin's ex's neighbour's dog groomer's postman's pen pal.

You leave Scribbly Steve out of this, He did say don't shoot the messenger at the end after all.

Valentin Eyserric a mid fielder from Nice is another player we appear to be linked with. Perhaps this guy and Amavi could be a buy one get one free offer 

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Our record with French players is pretty poor:

Six (other than 1 game), Ginola, Berson, Agathe, Pires, N'Zogbia, Cissokho + Sylla who is French/Malian.

Link to the Monsieur Eyserric rumour:

He got a 13 game ban a couple of seasons ago for what was termed´a leg breaking tackle´.

Aston Villa leading the race to sign Charlton's highly-rated midfielder Jordan Cousins with Liverpool and Newcastle keen

Aston Villa are leading a trio of Barclays Premier League clubs interested in highly-rated Charlton starlet Jordan Cousins.

Liverpool and Newcastle are also tracking the England U20 international, aware that he has only 12 months left on his contract at the Valley.

Villa have the edge because Tim Sherwood’s assistant Mark Robson has a long association with Charlton, where he played and coached in the academy for six years.

Robson, who also worked with England’s U17 team, is a big admirer of the 21-year-old who has become established as a first-team regular since scoring on his debut against Barnsley, two years ago.

Cousins has continued to make impressive progress, starting 44 games in the Championship last season as Charlton finished in a respectable mid-table position.

He scored three goals, and has been closely monitored by Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, who he supported as a boy.

The Londoner, born in Greenwich, has played through the age groups for England and scored on his debut for the U20 team, then coached by Gareth Southgate, in the Toulon tournament last summer.

He has played for much of last season on the left of midfield last season and has also played at the back in the youth team but is expected to develop into a strong central midfielder.

Charlton boss Guy Luzon will be desperate not to lose Cousins as he plans for next season.

All I remember about Berson is that he seemed to be constantly warming up along the touch line

[MoetVillan]

Habib Beye is technically French too if I remember (wasn't he born in France?).  He spent his time on the pitch warming down and thinking about how to spend all his wages.
