Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[PaulWinch again]

I like Kozak and I think he can suceeded here, but a 6 month loan with guaranteed starts would be ideal.

[Dante Lavelli]

The objective would be that he comes back a better player.  I think this would happen more quickly if he is playing every week at Forrest rather than playing U21 football and the odd 15 minutes. 

By Christmas we'll probably know the state of mind of Adebeyor and how quickly the others have settled to see whether he needs to be recalled.

[Duncan Shaw]

FFS sake Villa, we haven't signed anyone for a couple of days now, wtf's going on?  Pull your fingers out Tim and Tom, ......we're doomed otherwise, doomed.

[Hoppo]

I want Kozak here as our main striker..

Whilst I don't think we should spend money for the sake of it I also think a net spend of £15-£20m would not be an unreasonable expectation.  The squad can only be so big but if money can be spent wisely on upgrades for the likes of Baker, Richardson, Cole, Senderos, N'Zogbia, Gabby, Cissokho,  and possibly one or two others (e.g. I've never been convinced by Westwood) , I'd call it speculating to accumulate or sound investment rather than spending money for the sake of it.  The issue I suppose would be moving on those who have been upgraded.

Apart from the above there are also a few players who are yet to convince me me that can take us to a higher level - Sanchez, Okore, Clark, Sinclair, Kozak - most of whom have talent but are either inconsistent or struggling to adapt to the PL or have suffered injury setbacks.     We then have quite a few unknown quantities coming in who look good on paper but then so did all the players Spurs bought with the Bale money.   They may or may not make it, but our record of recruiting from the French league is not great.  Assuming we get at least one of Gestede/Adebayor/Berbatov in addition to Ayew and Kozak, I'd say we'd have some good options up front, but I think there is still room for upgrades in midfield and defence and I'm not convinced by our goalkeeping options either.

Well the Wolves fans were very impressed with him.They liked his selfish running. Not far to go either.He can catch the Metro!

Unselfish do you mean?

I'm probably on my own but I'd swap Benteke for our transfer business so far. Yes he was great but we have now completely rebuilt a failing mob with seemingly exciting emerging talent. It's re-energised the club and fans, and banished for good all the tired old players and perceptions bestiwed upon us by Lambert. We should thank Lambert for giving us this opportunity by signing Benteke in the first place. This really could be the bright future we hoped for all those years ago.

I'm with you Des. We've seen it with Gray, Platt and Yorke. Sometimes you need to sell your best player to rebuild the squad. Every time we have done that with the ones I've mentioned we've improved.

I think it's hard to argue with this, it's just a shame to see such a brilliant player have to go to kick start it all, it'll really be hard to take if he scores hatfuls for the deluded scousers who didn't think he was good enough for them anyway.  That said I know a couple of Liverpool fans (1 Norwegian and the other a scouser who lives in Norway) and they really happy he's signed but they've spent a lot of time talking and watching football with me so they've seen what we have.

I would certainly want to keep Kozak, but a loan would work well to get him playing up to speed again.

er...yes! Still not wide awake.

In that case I agree, he's always willing to make the runs and open space, even if he's not getting the ball, it's only a small thing but it makes a big difference because defenders are always tracking him which opens space.

I want Kozak here
