Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

This thread is good practice for cryptic crosswords.

[The Man With A Stick]

Although.. checking twitter seeing all the Soton fans saying "why would he leave us and European football for a relegation battle in a shithole.." and saying it'll never happen makes me 100% up for this. Sign him up, just to piss off the wankers.

Because they're a small club who have had a couple of good seasons in the last 30 years, that's why c***s, don't get above your station.

Just like yo-yo champions Leicester and Stoke, a side that were build on borderline cheating. You've had a couple of decent seasons where you either haven't been relegated or finished around 10th, calm down dears.

I honestly hate - hate - just or recently promoted clubs.

They get into the top flight and they're full of all that "Premier League, you're having a laugh" bollocks just because they're over excited at being able to visit big grounds. They are pretty much always a bunch of overexcited twats who were doubtless nowhere near their club for decades while they were mooking about in the third division.

They manage to stay in the top flight a couple of years, after years and years of being a pointless yo-yo club, and they're all giving it big about "clubs like Villa".

I read that stuff about Stoke fans the other day and it made me want to vomit. Honestly, years of not being in the top flight, a few of being there and becoming the absolute by-word for dirty, cynical, zero entertainment, followed by a short spell of being less fuck ugly to watch and a bit of spending and they think they're Barcelona.

Remember those ingratiating, smug Stoke twats we used to get on here?

I hate these people.

There's bugger all to be smug about if you live in Stoke, or one of its many associated shanty towns.

In other news merson was shocked we sold andi (tablet wont spell his surname) , he said he's been our best player last two seasons.

How the f##k is he a pundit.

perversely, I would say he is the most intellegent midfielder Ive ever seen down VP (I was too young to appreciate Sid to be fair)

[dave.woodhall]

I remember the Stoke fans who came on here when they first got promoted and desperately wanted us to be friends. Then they liked us because we didn't moan about Pulis and the Legion of the Damned. Finally, after a particularly horrible bout of his footballing version of manslaughter we weren't best happy and they flounced off saying, "You're just like all the rest."

Southampton seem to attract that curious breed of supporter - the ones with the 'second' club.

"I support Southampton AND Liverpool/ Southampton and Tottingham."

"I don't mind Chelsea.  They are my second club."

I have met a number of these types over the years, and those are genuine quotes.

Good club, a role model when it comes to a well-run small club, in many respects.

But their supporters are odd.

The problem with all these signings is that we've probably destroyed the fax machine so we'll have to send the papers for this one by courier.

I still think the better signing is Adama on the wing. Dings and dongs from the bells at the church are going to signal good times from now on.

[UK Redsox]

That'll be WingDings if Fonte signs

[Ads]

Come off it Paulie, Stoke are massive. They've finished as high as 9th. Twice. Massive club.

[Toronto Villa]

Fans of those clubs don't like us because they know what's around the corner. Our malaise is temporary even if for us it feels forever. Their rise is temporary so they are getting in their shots while they can. They know full well given the choice players will choose us over them and especially if as we are doing, making significant improvements. They'll all be fucked off at us having signed 9 players with more to come. Especially the extra bitter club fans like Everton. It's the way it is and they'll be put in their places soon enough.

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

Norwich fans are the worst for that kind of attitude.

[Villa in Denmark]

I remember the Stoke fans who came on here when they first got promoted and desperately wanted us to be friends. Then they liked us because we didn't moan about Pulis and the Legion of the Damned. Finally, after a particularly horrible bout of his footballing version of manslaughter we weren't best happy and they flounced off saying, "You're just like all the rest."

And they never stopped to consider why we agreed with all the rest.
Hey Ho.

In the build up to the Stoke v Liverpool game at the weekend, they did a bit of a pre-amble which included these immortal lines.

Commentator 1. Well we're back in Stoke.  I think you probably have to come from Stoke to love it.
Commentator 2. Yeah, and that's a bit of an ask.

[dave.woodhall]

Norwich fans are the worst for that kind of attitude.

When we were in for Lambert their supporters reckoned they were bigger than us on the basis that a) their ground was almost full most games and b) a million people live in Norfolk and they're the only club.

[PeterWithe]

I think I mentioned that I had to go to Norwich City last season on a work appointment, very nice people but massively self important for such a small club, at the time I out it down to having a lot of Londoners working there and them being the biggest fish in a very, very small, shallow pond.

Not sure how credible the Fonte rumours are, but it would be a statement of intent if it were to go through. 

[Ryu]

Fonte is 31 I just read?  So he'd cost a few million we'd never see again. And he'd pish Clark down the pecking order. If Tim thinks he'd improve us fair enough but I have reservations. There's been a few links so it seems pretty clear he wants another defender, anyway.
