Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[SirSteveUK]

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

I thought the dippers  were back in for him?

[mr underhill]

possibly as this rumour is thought to be more playground bullshit

[villadelph]

Didn't Tim just say any new additions will most likely be English?

[ozzjim]

He did. I reckon he is holding out to get Townsend, he made very complimentary comments about him last season. I will probably be proved wrong, but I think that is who he wants and if Adebayor reduces his demands/ the deal becomes viable that will happen too. I would love some of the other names, Traore, Praet, Balanta etc but I think now we are into the season he will go for a couple of players he knows, if they are obtainable.

Albion sign Rondon and Gnabry. Both really good signings for them, would have liked both at Villa.

They done ok there , but will lose Berahino to fund it I suspect.

Lescott?

[ozzjim]

I hope so. Can't have them having too many decent players!

I'm starting to agree on Rodgers. He sounds good about football, but actually he seems to me now like a pretentious version of Garry Monk. He's still better than Paul Lambert, but that's not saying much.

[mr underhill]

he's the compleat knobhead; compleat, as in the compleat angler.

No, that was Izaak Walton. He's more like Izaak Hunt

Fingers crossed that it pans out similar to that Ideye fella.

Again, is it just me, or am the only one who has never heard of Condom?  Much like the players we signed in fact.

Not sure how rag-worthy the Metro is, but they're saying this deal is just about done for Praet:

If we sign Praet and he proves vulnerable Sanchez will have to be the Praetorian Guard.  TBAR eat your hearts out. A Latin pun.
