Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Clampy]

That Traore don't look as good as N'Zogbia.

I'm enjoying how everyone has been completely dismissive of our chances this year or on our transfer approach. I think we will surprise some people once this side starts to click. This won't be Lambert's Villa who bored the royal piss out of everyone on planet Earth.

What I will never understand about Lambert is how we went from so entertaining and, err, vibrant at times in his first season, to so unremittingly fucking rubbish in his last.

In that first season I remember Phillipe Auclair saying we played a bit like Borussia Dortmund do, and being mightily impressed.

By the final season, we were an absolute joke.

The irony of it taking Lambert's sacking to get a team we thought Lambert would deliver is almost too much..

Crosses fingers.

I pray this Traore link isn't one where the club comes out and denies. I'd like to dream that it actually happens for a bit longer even if ultimately my bonfire gets pissed on.

I know but he is amazing why would they want to sell ??

His contract states that this new season he must enter the first team squad. Despite his talent they have a few players that will restrict his first team appearances and the lad wants to play, not sit in the stands every weekend.

Most importantly he plays the same position as someone called Lionel something or other.

And reportedly chosen Stoke

And reportedly chosen Stoke

who Traore?

[chrisw1]

Because his mates are there I guess?

I'll give Mark Hughes immense credit for maintaining a strong tie to Barcelona. I'd love Bojan and Affelay at Villa

[frank black]

These deals with Barca are a bit double edged, with them retaining 'buy back' options. If he turns out to be any good then they get him back at very much a discount price, if he doesn't then we still pay up and keep the player. Like a loan with an agree to buy, in their favour.

It's not for me and for that reason "I'm out"

Lazy journo"s put spin on the story

from football 365.com.  "Despite reports to the contrary, Liverpool are not interested in signing Barcelona winger Adama Traore.
Reports in Spain suggested that 19-year-old Traore would soon be flying into England for a medical at Liverpool.
However, the Liverpool Echo claims that such reports are wide of the mark. Instead, Brendan Rodgers is not interested in signing Traore, presumably believing he has enough options already in that area.
Traore could well still be coming to the Premier League, however. The Daily Mail claims that Aston Villa have entered into the race, because Tim Sherwood suddenly wants every player he can get his hands on. Stoke and Everton are also interested.
Traore has represented Spain at U16, U17 and U19 levels, making his Barcelona debut aged just 17 in 2013.

Crap lazy writing.

I thought that was a pisstake...but its actually on their website!

Agreed. I also would like to thank him for taking Stephen Ireland off our hands.

Would be great if this link is true mind.
