Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

Thing is, I reckon they'd all improve us, barring Huddlestone.

That's not necessarily enough, though.

Look how shit we've been. We don't just need to improve, we need to improve significantly.

Just noticed it reported Chelsea are closing in on Begovic, so that will be the next 4 years of his career wasted then. He has absolutely no chance of taking the place of Courtois. Do these players never learn?

Although, if you are a 28 year old multimillionaire, there aren't many better cities on the planet to live in than That London.

And that's basically all he will be, a multimillionaire, he will ay very very little football the next 4 years. He'll be lucky to get 40 games.

I guess professional footballers are supremely confident in their own ability, though, and don't see it as clearly as we do.

Don't get me wrong, you're right, I just think they probably see it differently to us.

[Toronto Villa]

If he has two choices and playing football is important for the next 4 years then he'll join us. If being a part of winning trophies, living in London, and playing the odd league, cup and CL game is sufficient then Chelsea's bench is as good a spot as any in European football today.

If playing every week for a poor-to-middling side for the next four years is what he wants to do, why not just stay where he is?

Birmingham is not the best but have you been to Stoke!

Stoke are doing as well as they possibly can, there is always the chance with Villa of something happening and us challenging top 6, rose tinted spectacles probably.

That's just it though, he isn't playing every week. He lost his place at the end of the season which is why he's looking to get out.

We do need to improve but it is not that massive a leap. Three more wins last season would have seen us level with West Ham and Everton, i.e. comfortably mid table. To get any higher requires a more significant upgrade but it is probably unrealistic to expect to do that in one go.

The only benefits I can think of are culture, which footballers are too thick for, and shopping, which men don't like.

Both teams that we beat during the season under Sherwood. I would go as far as to say that had we scored 20 goals and not 12 in 25 games we'd have been up with Everton or West Ham. You're right, it's not like those teams were streets ahead of us.

Ha! Very good.

Chelsea could buy begovic and loan him to villa that's if Wilkins knows the deal!!
Any how family and extended family are involved with players moving so the London scenes provide alot for all involved not just always about the player (cech for instance) so shops would be interesting to the wags too. Also the social scene and standard of living is better. As are transport links to going abroad handily.

Playing wise though begovic would be best suited to being numero uno at villa esp as euro year coming up. Perhaps give nzogbia in make weight

The grass landing strip at BHX is one of the things that really puts off possible signings
