Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[pauliewalnuts]

One French journo was saying it looked to be a done deal, "a priori". I can't remember precisely what that means - is it on the face of it?

I thought he'd be going somewhere better than us - he's been linked w Spurs and Liverpool.

Would be sexy times if he turns up. We're going to have to give all our Jordans a nick name each though

Just a thought, though, perhaps the whole point of that tweet, and the "on the fact of it" thing, was just a joke about the fact we've just bought two Jordans from Ligue 1?

Possible risk of carried-awayage here.

I reckon that could be fairly close to the truth of it all Paulie.

It's running as a headline in Le Parisien now. Though my a level French suggests the content is more suggestive that we're making an offer rather than he's agreed to come

[mr underhill]

a lot of big clubs coveted Amavi and Gueye so is it outlandish to think we could snag the latest Jordan ahead of others?

[Matt Collins]

The stuff I read suggested his best form to date was as a no 10. He'll fit in here then. Gil, grealish and ayew all seemingly best playing off a centre forward

What formation will we play? 421111?

[Clampy]

NZogbia has removed all Villa references from his twitter bio. Wonder where he is off. His last couple of tweets have been fairly cryptic too.

I do hope he is off and we manage to get an half decent fee for him. We were robbed of £10m.

He sounds like a Delph replacement to me, so think he'll fit in deeper than a number 10 and/or Ayew, who I can see playing wide of a central striker.

If we get rid of him it would be as good as having a new signing
We would be playing with 11 players on the pitch rather than 10

[nick harper]

Haven't looked back on the thread so apologies if already mentioned but The Times are suggesting Baker's off to Burnley for £2m.

[Ian.]

I hope not, I like Baker.

[Matt Collins]

Yeah for £2m I'd keep baker. I'm really impressed with how we're going about our business given the massive challenges we faced when our spine left

But you do need a spine, and character and experience. That's looking pretty weak now. Richards and Clark will be crucial. Westwood will have to step up. Adebayor could either be a great help or an utter disaster. Get off to a good start and it'll probably be fine. But I don't want to turn into Newcastle "stepping stone" United.

[Concrete John]

If we're keeping Senderos, then that's 5 CBs, so I suppose losing Baker doesn't really leave that big a hole in the squad as he's presently our 4th choice for that position.

All these Jordans we might bring in. And all we want is a massive pair up front. That will catch the eye, and keep many people happy.
