Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Steve67]

Just a thought but I wonder if Villa have already spoken to Huddlestone and we have offered him fairly crap personal terms and this is him telling us, surreptitiously, that he's happy to stay at Hull unless we up the money. Probably rubbish but just a thought.

[Concrete Tom]

Some of the Sundays are reporting we're going to bid for Troy Denney, not sure about that one. He's got a Blues tattoo on his leg.

Amputation is the only option.

He'd still be available more often than Vlaar.

I work in Watford and have some contacts at the club. Troy Deeney will not be going anywhere whilst Watford remain in the Prem.

It probably is rubbish.

Well that's a relief!!

I just assumed he really liked rugby league and fish.

He also looks like a Championship flat track bully. I've seen nothing in him that makes me think he'd be a top half premiership player and for me those are the kind of gems we need to find in the Championship, the ones with age on their side that have the potential. Aren't Watford looking for silly money for him as well?

[aj2k77]

Stats are for baseball, as England have just pointed out in the strongest possible way to Peter Moores.

We're not talking about pass completion statistics or heat maps though are we? Something as straightforward as "how often does an attacker score a goal" is a pretty basic way to tell whether they are somebody that you should be spending £12m on.

Hell, if the number of goals a player scores isn't important then villakicks' Jozy Altidore suggestion isn't silly at all.

But in my view, if he does sign I think he will improve us far more than all the players you have compared him with, I'm only going on what I have seen rather than the stats you have produced,
But obviously time will tell

You're probably right John - if the question is "would I rather have N'Zogbia or Townsend in our side next season", then fine - Townsend it is.

If the question is "would it be sensible to make Andros Townsend the joint-second most expensive player we have signed in our history", then I'm quite happy to stick with Sinclair, Gil and Grealish behind Benteke.

Yeah with forwards I have to admit I'm a fan of the goals scored stat. We heard for years there was more to Heskey than his stats suggested. There wasn't he was fucking crap, like they suggested.

Saying that, Townsend is shitloads better than Nzogbia and would improve us but not for £10m+.

[aj2k77]

It looks as if Huddlestone prefers to stay in the Championship with Hull than come to Villa Park.

That is tremendous news to wake up to on this grey morning!

It is good news, seeing as he is a fat shit who would cost way more than he is worth and on excessive terms as well. Stay at the KFC Tom and eat yourself silly.

6 million asking price for N'Zonzi. Good player. Will beef up the midfield.

[Risso]

I like N'Zonzi and thought he was unfairly maligned when Stoke bought him.

[placeforparks]

Isn't Sammy also a nut case on twitter? That would be entertaining for a few weeks I suppose.

that's nile ranger...

He's only got a year left on his contact I think so he'd probably be cheaper than that.

Well sevilla bid £3mil and that was considered derisory. So looking at it £4-4.5 mil be good with a player thrown in lets make it nzog for nzon . otherwise £5 mil tops

[silhillvilla]

I'd offer them westwood plus say £2.5m

[Salsa Party Animal]

We need players who can score goals as we only play with 2 wingers supporting Benteke. So what we want is next Ian Taylor and Tony Morley
