Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Dante Lavelli]

Did Albrighton sign a new deal (i.e. a significant one after the typical youth ones) whilst Houliier (or MON) was about?
It might be that we over valued him at that point and therefore could not justify raising his wage, hence him leaving to someone who would.

I think he did when he first came through.

The mail are running that Sherwood wants English players in if any more arrive this month, and that he still wants Townsend, Lescott and Carroll. All 3 would be decent additions from what I have seen of them, and would give crosses for Rudy, extra stability at the back and options in midfield.

Wilson on loan from Man Utd mentioned in that piece too. Can't say I've seen much of him.

[Chris Smith]

Albrighton has hardly set the place alight since he joined Leicester, seems to have been used more as a sub than a regular starter.

He was injured a lot last season. Him coming into the side pretty much coincided with their great run at the end of last season.

Tim, sign Shelvey from Swansea please.

Tim, sign Shelvey from Swansea please.

I agree. Dynamic, better player than he gets credit for. Strong too. Ideal type of player for Villa.

Tim, sign Shelvey from Swansea please.

Much better than I, and almost everyone else on here, thought he was certainly

[ozzjim]

And not a chance of getting him. Really good player with moments of really poor play intertwined into him. While he would be excellent players at the moment are not going to leave Swansea for us. Nor could we afford him.

[eamonn]

Pretty sure it was Lambert who made the decision on Albrighton,  the player himself said no offer was made so it didn't get to the stage where he asked for £40k, which seems pretty unlikely anyway.

[Dante Lavelli]

Any rumours about? 
It seems very quiet which is understandable considering the quantity of players we have signed.

[Malandro]

Picture of Sanchez with Chelsea's Juan Cuadrado this weekend. Hope he's tapping him up!

[MoetVillan]

Why would Sanchez want to go to Chelsea?

[Matt Collins]

Tim, sign Shelvey from Swansea please.

I agree. Dynamic, better player than he gets credit for. Strong too. Ideal type of player for Villa.

Why on earth would he want to leave Swansea for us? I'd prioritise right mid, centre fwd and right / centre back first. We've got a lot of central midfielders and need to give them a chance to bed in

someone who claims to have a family member working at Villa has said on VT we are close to a deal for Traore.
