Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Ron Manager]

An added rumour for today. I thought I see Herbert in a Weatherspoons in Slough. It looked like Deadly. Then I considered for a second and came to the conclusion that Herberts probably a bit too tight fisted to fork out for a Spoons fish supper. So it probably wasn't him.

As you were gents.

Doug wouldn't pay for a meal. That will be £12.06 sir and have a nice day!

Do you know WHO I AM young man!  Fetch me the manager NOW!

Or something.

Every single player Lambert signed on his way out and only 2 question marks in, so far. A ludicrously huge amount has to be done in just 5 weeks.

Genuinely disagree. Getting rid of the deadwood and Lambert himself is such a massive upgrade.

[warleyboy]

Deadwood had to go and hopefully a few more still...

I'm completely happy with what Tim seems to be doing, we are looking at prem league players who are from winning teams.

Would like to see a few young English players on top of what we have and Austin.

The futures bright, the futures VILLA

I've not heard a single rumour about Kozak, Guzan, Okore, Senderos, Sanchez, Westwood, Cissokho, Bennett or Steer leaving us.

Other than them, have you heard a single rumour though, so stop nit picking, oh what about Joe Cole?

[OCD]

It's a pretty good counter argument although Guzan and Cissokho don't seem to be Sherwood's favourites and may be available. We've been linked with left backs too so we'll have to wait and see what happens with Bennett.

I am pretty certain Senderos wont be a favourite lol. The manager will have to change things, we have been shite for too long and he has to be given the chance to make his own squad. Lets hope Bill Gates gives him proper funds when the takeover is announced next week :-(

Aston Villa have tabled a £9million bid for Nice left-back Jordan Amavi.
Tim Sherwood made the offer yesterday and hopes for permission to fly in the young defender this weekend.
Amavi, a France Under-21, was hotly tipped to move this summer, with many leading clubs interested, but Villa have jumped to the front of the queue after putting cash on the table.
Sherwood insists his side needs cover at left-back and Amavi, 21, is both a quick defender and comfortable going forward.
Nice are prepared to sell and insiders revealed that the fee has been ‘virtually agreed’.
Villa have also just completed a £9m deal for Lille’s midfield dynamo Idrissa Gueye.
It is a coup for Villa with Gueye snubbing French giants Marseille because he fancies playing in the Premier League.
The 25-year-old passed a medical and finalised terms on a four-year contract yesterday — subject to international clearance.
And the Senegalese star becomes Villa’s biggest deal for four-and-a-half years since Darren Bent signed from Sunderland in an £18m deal which rose to £24m.
Gueye said: “Everyone knows England has a league that attracts me, now this is a dream move.”
Southampton, West Ham and Crystal Palace all bid for Gueye, who played over 130 games for Ligue 1 Lille.
But Villa insist Gueye is not a replacement for England midfielder Fabian Delph, 25, who has an £8m release clause in his deal and is on Manchester City’s radar.
Sources close to the club say Villa expect Delph and Spurs and Liverpool target Christian Benteke to be on board when Villa fly to Albufeira for pre- season training next week.
And Sherwood is still optimistic about landing Dutch midfielder Tjaronn Chery, 27, as Groningen prepare to accept a £3.5m offer.

These two signings (if they happen, ITSOTP etc...) would absolutely galvanize my faith in Villa over the next few months.

They would be a step in the right direction, but there would still be more work to be done.

[KRS]

It is all very positive and does beg the question what is happening behind the scenes...potentially depressing sales of our best players could fund these deals leaving us pretty much as we were, or alternatively it good be exciting times ahead with FFP being relaxed, a takeover on the cards and our best players staying for at least another year on their current or improved contracts.

It hasn't been mentioned much as yet, but may be...just may be...we could be about to be taken over by someone or a consortium with money to burn on transfers.

...and yes, I'm optimistically pissed at the moment!

Classic villa fan! If we sign two players for nearly £20m that will indicate a really big change in approach. You wouldn't have thought it's the benteke money given the positions of the players. We'll need to buy two attacking players to replace big ben's goals you'd think.
