Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Tuscans]

Reports coming out of Italy that Stoke have agreed a 17 million euro fee for Inters Xherdan Shaqiri. I think he's been massively over rated for yonks, but fair play to them if they pull that off.

I still don't believe Benteke will join Liverpool in a few days as reported. When his agent put in a transfer request he was apparently going to join Spurs in the next few days....Liverpool are just Spurs.

[Dave]

its a no from me; one bad knock at his age and its superannuation time; we need younger legs with more to prove

But he wouldn't be on a ridiculous Shay Given-style contract - if that does happen then it's 12 months. Are we likely to get any less out of him than we have from Joe Cole in the last year?

The potential reward versus the risk means that it makes a lot of sense to do.

[Clampy]

I wouldn't be totally against Cambiasso coming in. Leicester got 31 appearances out of him last season and he won their player of the season, so for year why not?

[warleyboy]

Cambiassi YES.
On a free, great experience, no brainer.

Guys, let's face facts, Delph & Tekkers are going..

I'm very excited about players we are starting to be linked with, could be a really interesting season.
This could really be a new look villa.
Can see a real topsy turvy season with strange results, but exciting non the less.

Up the villa.

They aren't facts.

Cambiasso is a strange one if true and if it is, I wonder if it had anything to do with why Pearson left.

Could he be a contender for Managerīs job?..........Godzvilla!

It does seem to go against the policy of signing players who are committed for the medium/long term, but under Lambert we'd probably be preparing a five year contract. I'd like to think a deal for Cambiasso is one or two seasons max, and the guy has shown he can cut it in the Premier League and last a season.

[avfcdale]

would probably have stayed at Leicester but Pearson has gone and they will end up with Big Sam so a player like that will not want to see the ball continually flying 40 foot above his head

Looks like he has eaten Huddlestone

I don't think Benteke will leave this summer, and I feel as though there is no chance Delph leaves either.

I'm convinced Benteke wil leave but doubt Delph will - unless he is told he's first choice in a champions league team (which is unlikely)

[Clark W Griswold]

The only complaint about the Cambiasso link is that we should have signed him 12 months ago. He's a class player and although he's no spring chicken, he's already had his season in the PL to adjust. Could be a great albeit short term signing.

[Mister E]

Stoke and Shaqiri?! - Stoke must surely be a stalking horse for other clubs! A little disappointing if they can pull off a deal ike that. I'd liked us to have pitched for Salah (Chelsea reject) but I suspect we are not goiing to be that ambitious. So, it's Stoke's cast-off NZonzi instead perhaps. Or continued N'Zog (God forbid).

[Phil from the upper holte]

Wasn't he sacked?

[supertom]

Cambiasso could provide what we've lacked since Barry left, albeit for just a year or two. He's a classy player. He's never relied on pace. I'd be happy with that given he still seems capable of playing. It's not like Cole, Senderos or Rico who have always had injury problems.
