Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[aj2k77]

Cheers guys, I might have a go on that, It feels complicated :-/

It's not that complicated.

On betfair the current handicaps are

Chelsea 0
Man City +3
Arsenal +7
Man Utd +7
Liverpool +17
Spurs +22
Soton +26
Everton +29
Stoke +31
Swansea +35
Crystal P +37
West Ham +38
Newcastle +39
West Brom +41
Leicester +42
Sunderland +44
Villa +44
Bournemouth +46
Norwich +46
Watford +48

All the handicaps get added to the seasons end tally. The team that normally wins it are the surprise package of the season. Southampton a couple of seasons ago had a huge handicap and finished top 7 so pissed the league. Going off the summers business Villa and West Ham look decent bets for it.

Sun reporting that gestede almost done

I don't really get it. We do need goals but there's only so many centre Fwds you can get on the pitch at one point. We'll have three six foot plus options plus gabby, ayew and Robinson

And only two genuine wide options in Sinclair and bacuna

[aj2k77]

I'd love it if we got rid of Gabby and Nzog this summer.

[silhillvilla]

We are 5/1 to be the top midlands club

Agreed, it looks very attack-minded and yet one or two injuries in defence and we will become very vulnerable.

I'd say Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle on those handicaps.

[Matt Collins]

Maybe he's like doom Dublin and can play centre back

The end of kozak perhaps? I'd feel really sorry for him

Don’t want to jump to conclusions on #AVFC's style this year, but Gestede, Kozak,Adebayor & Berbatov is a combined 82-foot tall strikeforce.

None of those players are traditional 'target men'.

Burnley are also apparently close to a £2 million deal for Baker.

That's a bit of a Spursism from us to actually make a £1.5 million profit on your 4th choice centre half.

[Phil from the upper holte]

My mate just txt me, Lancashire Telegraph confirm that Gestede is talking to us

Did we buy Baker then, I thought he came through the ranks?

[Duncan Shaw]

I suspect if we sign Gestede we won't be signing Ade, hence the delay.
Maybe Kozak's pre-season performances have given Tim food for thought.

Hate to say it, but Liverpool look like good value on that list.

Sorry, I meant this Crespo guy looks like our new 4th centre half/utility player at the back.

Its not often you make a profit swapping out your 4th centre half.
