Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Goldie.7]

Quite like Dwight Gayle. He seems to be improving each season and could do very well here, he also would be a massive improvement on Gabby & Weimann.

[Tuscans]

I've never liked Adebayor as a man, as a player, on his game he his a bloody handful. Tim did get some of his best football out of him in a while at Spurs and if a deal is on the cards for him I would happily support the bloke because a club like Villa might be the right place for him.

No matter who you are if you join my club then it's a clean slate.

I would take him but personally I think we should be aiming a little higher than him, I think Palace is his level. I'm sure there's better out there around Europe.

Signing another Dwight just wouldn't feel right.

[Goldie.7]

It's been 17 years, move on buddy 

He actually has a footballing brain, prem experience, skilful and for £6m..... sign him up.

Seventeen years? SEVENTEEN YEARS? Dear God.

He can't hold down a regular starting spot in their side, so that would suggest that maybe his level is below that.  In which case, we should steer well clear.

[SamTheMouse]

I'd rather see us play 4-6-0 than waste scarce resources on Adebayor. He'd turn up, score four or five goals in his first few games, then decide he couldn't be arsed any more and spend the rest of the season jogging around aimlessly up front on his own. And probably pointing a lot.
He'd no doubt want a massive wedge for doing it, too.

[dekko]

I think if we could get him on a year or two contract then Adebayor would be a good signing to help keep us ticking over while Kozak gets up to speed and some of the youngsters (ie Robinson) develop.

Of course I'd rather we signed 'the next benteke' but thats easier said than done, and needs must etc

[Malandro]

Adebayour will want £2m sign on and £100k a week for 4 years I reckon , so about £23m

No team will pay him 100k p/w again. If he comes, it will have to be a nominal fee and spurs continue to pay perhaps 30% of his wages.

It's still a gamble.

[villan from luton]

It would be a gamble, but if the fee and wages were reasonable I would go for it, but another striker as well

[cdbearsfan]

Any signing is a potential gamble, but a player who has years of experience of scoring goals at the top level, and excelled under Sherwood just a year ago, would be less of a gamble than most.

We were one of the lowest scorers last year even WITH Benteke. Without him we really can't afford to be trying unproven players up front in the hope they come off.

Adebayor with a young, potential "new Benteke" either for the future or to play alongside him would be a good choice.

[Monty]

I'd rather Adebayor than Austin, to be honest. Austin did well last year, but I've seen nothing really to suggest that the quoted prices represent value.

We need to go abroad, though. Given the Premier League TV money there's not much excuse for buying domestically.

That Sir would be my choice, Adebayor on a short contract or maybe loan when we bring a young promising player from abroad to give the player time to bed in.

Also the exchange rate.  Its probably the optimum time to be buying from Europe.
