Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Matt Collins]

I don't know if the adebayor deal is really off. But if it is we could do with some genuine proven quality in attack. The only other options I've thought of are batshuayi or austin. Not sure we could get the former or that the latter is suited to us. We've got the numbers up front but I want more quality

[Dante Lavelli]

I've always thought the Adebeyor deal would be a last minute deal, when spurs and/or adebayor reduce their demands.

Have we allocated squad numbers yet?  I can't see any reference to them. 

I'm a bit of a traditionalist when assigning players a shirt number.  Just wondering whether Tim has that No 4 shirt 'reserved' for anyone in particular?  I'm still holding out for 9 being reserved for Austin (tho' highly unlikely now) failing that would prefer Gestede wearing it, I know Sinclair had it last season, but Sinclair really isn't a No 9!   

SirClive has been wearing 9 in pre-season. I agree that it doesn't seem to fit.

I didn't notice who has worn 10. If no one has, maybe its been allocated to Jack.

Gueye has been wearing 8, I think

Amavi has been wearing 3, so Bennett has lost his number (no surprise there)

Has Micah been wearing 4 ?

Squad numbers are now on the OS Bennett keeps 3 Herd not given a number and no number 10

With Aly out on loan, I suppose that means Bennett stays as a reserve left-back (albeit I expect that Rico will be second choice to Jordan the First).

No 10 or 20. Hopefully two new signings 😁

Can we call the Jordan I, II and III?

Herd has left the club...he was offered a 3 month contract  but refused it.

Thanks I had missed that re Herd I know Timmy wanted to keep him until he was fit so he could assess hime.

[Clark W Griswold]

Just heard that we maybe sniffing around Balanta, a LCB from River Plate

Hopefully Tim has a good nose for a player then :-)

[Toronto Villa]

No 10 or 20. Hopefully two new signings 😁

I think we've kept number 20 available for the inevitable return of Benteke, or we've decided to retire his number and it will be raised in front of the Holte at the Man U game. As for number 10, it can only be for the appointment later in the season of our player manager Diego Armando Maradona.

Paul Lambert is scouting for us to fill the number 10 jersey as he likes to call it.

Saw him briefly in the Copa America for Venezuela; big striker. If we are in for him, maybe that would mean that the Adebayor saga is over.

If we're really after him and Balanta Tim has definitely been playing Football Manager.

I saw on twitter yesterday that the Balanta link started from a fake Villa Transfer account that Talksport managed to get hold of.
Some people have got too much time on their hands.
