Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

Richardson for £2m? Bloody snap their hands off!

[RussellC]

We're also still in the situation of having 26 senior pros on the books, and that's assuming that Senderos is going/gone. If Sherwood wants to bring in others he's going to need to shift the likes of Richardson. N'Zogbia seems to be hiding under a rock until after the window closes, so if we're being offered money for the likes of Richardson we're not really in a position to turn it down.

I would keep him at the moment. See who else comes in during the next week or so and look again then.

I would sell 2 or 3 players to allow us bring in more players. That means like of Agbonlahor, N'Zogbia, Tonev, Richardson, Hutton and Senderos will be leaving hopefully.

Richardson was our best (only) player in that game we're all trying to forget

That's the thing though. Are the board going to sanction any more incomings at the risk of having players on the wage-bill who can't/won't be named in the 25-man squad? I'd be surprised if so...

If that's what we have to pay them to take him off our hands, then so be it.

If that fee is true, it'll be the weirdest 'making a profit on a player' since Bolton gave us £5m for Zat Knight.

And potentially in the same week as making a profit on Senderos too.

Did they really? I didn't know that. That was a pretty decent bit of business.

Didn't they also give us money for Gavin McCann?

I think they did. Mind you, they got their own back by only paying around £5m for Cahill.

Re: McCann - a quick Google search brought up this article, from June of this year. Interesting.

He potentially made us £450,000 in extra prize money by heading Gerrard's header off the line in the cup semi. We'll have done remarkably well out of him if we can turn a profit on his transfer fee too.

I thought Richardson was on the brink of becoming a Methodist/Baptist Minister?   

These days, t's where he devotes all his energy when it comes to crosses.

Can we please now sign Zlatan, by all accounts PSG are going to let him go. One or two years of Zlatan playing for Villa would be a dream (I know it won't happen but we can wish).
