Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Louzie0]

I think Jim does like us, he did the kit launch presentation and would have trousered some Villa shillings for it no doubt.

I like Jim and enjoyed the presentation.

Ive never heard of any of the players we have bought, its a rare treat not to be able to be disappointed with our signings.

I'd be happy with Rudy Gestede if it happens, he's a handful. Better signing than Austin in my opinion

Same here.....hopefully a few games into the season the penny won't drop ala Tonev & Luna.

So, how much expert insight did you offer us in 2012 after the signing of CB?

Hearing Watford & Norwich are both in for him.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Gestede and Ayew would be a good combination .......

[Grande Pablo]

Another vote for Gestede.  Looks at a handful against admittedly Championship defenses, but better than what we had last year, Big Ben excepted, of course.

Has anybody seen the excellent German film "The Lives of Others"?

If you have, you can apply the same mental image to the above quote.

Gestede isn't the most mobile and I found him lazy before at cardiff but since improved .

[ozzjim]

So the Nicko fella thinks we will sign 6 more player. Adebayor, Ayew, another forward, a midfielder, a right back and a keeper. I would swap the keeper for a midfielder, but if true, at least the squad won't be paper thin come the end of August.

[silhillvilla]

Gestede would be good but why wouldn't we just go for Jordan Rhodes ?

[ozzjim]

Because Gestede would provide a focal point for the likes of Ayew, Gabby, Sinclair, Gil and Grealish to work around, and Adebayor is useful in a 2 man attack too. Rhodes is not so much a focal point.

Why not just go for Jermaine Beckford?
