Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Steve67]

Evening Standard reckon Sherwood is making eyes at Adebayor.

I really do hope this is very lazy journalism.

Yeah, Tom Carroll too. Oh dear!

I see Tyrone mings is joining Bournemouth for £8m. Not that I know this player in particular, but that's pretty depressing. I couldn't see us doing that, at the moment at least.

Micah Richards is better than Mings.

[aj2k77]

Sakho looks a bit of a 1 in 4 player. Better than NZogbia and very direct though, so welcome option for decent wages.

Is it worth selling Benteke for 25m to get Austin and Begovic? Would we be better off?

Begovic is a bit better than Guzan, Benteke is a fair bit better than Austin. I think it would be a bad deal.

[Toronto Villa]

Reports are now that we have actually made a bid for Begovic. Now you can argue all day about our priorities but he is a step up from what we have. It appears given the majority of the early player links that Sherwood has identified the defence as being a major part of our problems. Adding Begovic and Richards and losing Guzan and Vlaar is a step in the right direction overall. We desperately need a solid starting LB and then look to the midfield and forwards.

A solid left back would be nice.

[supertom]

A solid left back would be nice.

Sticking a flag in the ground on the left corner of the penalty area would probably be an upgrade right now.

Too true.

Anyone else had enough of the Liverpool method of squealing like piggies when people undervalue their players and then offering under the stated price for ours?

[Ryu]

Yep.  Least likable club in the country, for me, local rivalries aside.

If we're even actively trying to sign Begovic it shows that feted trait 'ambition', which is nice.  Ditto with the apparent bid for Amavi, even if it doesn't come off.

I see Altidore is back in the goals at Toronto FC

Wasn't Danny Dicchio there star striker a few years ago?

Local rivalries included. They are on a par with ISIS in my list of deplorable organisations.

If Jihadi John was a Liverpool fan the team would have worn T-shirts proclaiming his innocence.

[mr underhill]

bad taste. This stuff is serious and impairing endangering and ending the lives of people everyday. let's leave extremism out of football. Rant over.

What about Jose Enrique left back on loan as he's out of contract 2016
Also re sagna Kenny jacket said prem club is destination . Was reported he signed ages ago in daily mirror by john cross I think that's a done deal. Wba were also suitors but backry respects fans and coming to villa is a major step up and everyone knows it!
