Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Holte L2]

Unfortunately I think he did say something about us being keen on Adebayor though.

With everyone else we're signing I wouldn't have a problem with Adebayor on a loan/cheap deal. Whatever else he might get up to, he scores goals.

My thoughts exactly.

I do think it's important to remember, too, that Adebayor is a really, really good player who scores plenty of goals! I think he'd be a very good signing, loan or permanent.

 a big time Charlie and won't settle at a club at the wrong end of the table.

Then lets make sure we are not at the wrong end this season

I'm actually starting to like the idea of an Adebayor/Borini font two.  What's wrong with me?!

I don't know Des but it looks bad.

Depends who they're playing for in this idea.

I got told last week by a Spuds fan that Adebayor was a done deal on a season loan with us paying Spuds £2.5m by way of a fee and £50k pw in wages - with Spuds then giving Adebayor the £2.5m to supplement his wages. Merely waiting for Adebayors agent as he was out of the country until this week. Makes sense in as much as it keeps our wages policy intact and gets him off Spuds wage bill to free up what they want to do - equally likely to be 100% wrong though !

Adebayor is about the most UnVilla signing I can think of.

Times are changing.  Can't recall us ever signing so many players from the continent in one summer.

[PeterWithe]

I was more thinking of the way he mopes about with his hands on his hips thinking he's doing his employers a favour by lacing his boots for an hour every week.

We don't tend to look too favourably on players who don't have a work ethic, however talented they may be.

Borini as a squad player wouldn't be a bad option if the price was right.  If we are going to play a 4-2-3-1 formation, then he can play either up front or on the right.  He hasn't got a great record, but we need squad options and he would be a step up from the likes of Weimann.

You need help immediately

[old man villa fan]

I'll certainly cut him some slack, the papers obsession with his family problems is just sensationalism.

Money mixed with friends/family always causes problems.

There are not many players that are given compassionate leave twice by their club in a short space of time.

This is my major concern with his head not being in the right place over the last twelve months.  Has he got over it?  Only somebody that knows him will be able to find this out and Sherwood would obviously be the best placed.

A loan would be best so as to take him through to the end of his contract.  If he does well and then signs for somebody else, so be it but we need to buy ourselves a season of steady progression.

I think Weimann's place in the squad will be taken by Robinson or someone from the academy.  Which I think is a good thing and Sherwood has said he wouldn't want to bring someone in to block the path of am academy player.

[Toronto Villa]

I don't mind the idea of Adebayor, Ayew, Kozak, Robinson and Gabby as our options up front with the likes of Gil, Sinclair, Grealish, Gueye creating chances behind them. Benteke is gone, time to play a different way. Get the ball on the deck and get the midfielders much more involved in scoring goals. We saw that last season how Sherwood encourage the midfield to get into the box. I think we still need a quality CM to partner Gueye, maybe just to allow him to get forward more which he clearly likes to do.
