Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[aev]

Ayew for £6/7m? Hmm not sure at all. I want more links like that Embolo chap.

He is the one who stands out. If we get him it would be a statement of intent of the fact we mean business.

Rickie Lambert it is then.

Don't say that. I remember when we used to joke about Marlon Harewood and Heskey...

Charlie Austin is allegedly holding out on a move until late in the window. Hoping one of the sky4 come in for him if they don't fill their quotas etc

Do you have a source for this other than Darren Gough's imagination?

I heard Chris Ramsay say, we've rejected offers and that Austin has also rejected offers. (I'm assume he means offers the club would accept)
So it does seem logical he is holding out for a late move, it would probably mean more money as well wages wise.

The Jordan Ayew facebook page has 9000+ followers and the Jordan Ayew11 one has 22. Nothing about Villa other than the link on the first one. Right now I know which version I believe on this story.

Just checked to see who he is - not on facebook - and see that he plays for Lorient. ina  bar in Abu Dhabi and the only football on was (I think) Marseille v Lorient so me and my 2 mates were laughingly hoping Orient won seeing that they had a big game in League 1 the next day. You get the gist. Anyway, not really impressed with Ayew and then he scores an absolute screamer. I think he went on to get a hat-trick in a 5-3 away win. Bizarre game.

Anyway, I'll rather mystifyingly finish this by hoping we don't sign him. i don't want too many Africans and don't think he'll adapt to the English game given that he's quite slight.

I have to admit I don't like him since he said something like we should be beating teams like Aston Villa when we lost at their place last season.  I don't like anyone who speaks about Aston Villa in that way.  Especially one who looks like he belongs on a building site and playing Sunday morning football still half pissed from the night before.

Given that there was a lot of talk that Newcastle wanted him, he's probably rejected Newcastle or at least thinks he can do better than Newcastle. He's probably very comfortable with the London lifestyle.

I didn't realise Abedi Pele is the Ayew brothers' father. He was a great player

[peter w]

His dad ? Shit. That's aged more than anything.

If we sign Ayew we will have to scour the globe to find his striking partner Oome.

[Steve R]

Even without further signings we are going to start this season with a stronger team to pick from than the one that started the last one. Assuming Amavi is as good as he looked against Swindon and Gueye lives up to expectations. It's a bit early to start worrying.

This is funny.

[ciggiesnbeer]

It is early for panic. I keep reminding myself we have broken up a losing team not a winning one. We could not do any worse and stay in the league. The players who have left were equally responsible for our terrible end of season surrender and FA Cup embarrassment.  We may yet end up with a more balanced and better side come kick off day.

He'd sign for The Baggies surely?

How on earth do you work that out? I can't believe you're serious. The current squad scored 12 league goals last year. 12.

The Sun: Cambiasso held talks with Sherwood yesterday and £6m bid for Gestede at Blackburn that could rise to £8m
