Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[RussellC]

Would Citeh still be due a fee for Guidetti, given his age?

[OCD]

There has been quite a lot said elsewhere about Guidetti's attitude.

He's - apparently - got interesting "refuelling" routines.

Which could also be bollocks. Biggest problem with the Internet is conjecture and speculation being accepted as fact.

Idrissa Gueye being linked by the Daily Heil for £9m. Got to sell him today for financial reasons allegedly. Also linked with a young Turkish forward too.

Article suggests the fee has been agreed.

I love this bit.

Villa director of recruitment Paddy Reilly though pushed to get a fee agreed last night and Lille are happy as they need to agree to sell the player by today for financial reasons.

I have this image of the Lille fax room as they take in bids a hubbub of activity, then the door gets kicked open and Paddy Reilly strides in, dumps a pile of cash on the table points to Gueye who is wide eyed in the corner and says "YOU. VILLA. NOW."

[Matt Collins]

I've never seen gueye or this Dutch fella play, but it is encouraging that we're even being linked with some interesting signings that aren't in the cheap. I like the sound of both - although I think I liked the sound of fernando nelson

Still really unsure on a replacement for benteke. I guess we could get Charlie Austin plus N'Doye with some change to spare, if they'd come. I'm sure there are better options but I don't know who they are.

Another in the increasingly long line of ' linkages', I would love to see Cambiaso in a Villa shirt, even at 34 he could have a very positive effect on  his colleagues, as he did at Leicester.....Godzvilla!

Aston Villa are reportedly lining up a move for out-of-contract midfielder, Esteban Cambiasso.
Aston Villa eye move for former Real Madrid midfielder
The Argentina international spent last season on loan at Leicester City, but after his contract expired on June 30, and with no new deal signed, the 34-year-old is now a free agent.
 That has alerted Villa manager Tim Sherwood, who was impressed by the former Inter Milan and Real Madrid star’s performances last term, as the Foxes won seven of their last nine Premier League matches to secure unlikely survival.
Cambiasso, who has previously admitted he has loved his time in England, made 33 appearances in all competitions for City, scoring five goals

[Shrek]

Benteke 32 mill
Austin 15mill

A net profit of 17 mill is good enough for me, I don't if the fees are too much. I like Austin

He scores goals, which is what we would need.

To be honest, we need two forwards.

[curiousorange]

Austin is fine with me as a replacement; him or Remy.

[darren woolley]

I would also like us to get Austin.

Somebody reckons Cambiasso is having a medical.

Normally I would avoid a 34 year old, but I think he'd really benefit the squad, as he is still a class act and would be a really good option to have in the squad, if only for 12 months.

[ozzjim]

Cambiasso was quality for Leicester, would be an interesting signing for a season. Looked in good shape for his age.

Austin and another striker for me if Benteke is gone

[passitsideways]

Would like to see Cambiasso here, but don't really know why he'd leave Leicester for us given how well he did there and how strong a connection he seemed to form with them.

[Dante Lavelli]

Good signing for me.  He was only on a 1 year contract at Leicester so (assuming the same) it is not as if his wages will be a burden for future years if his legs suddenly go.
