Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Matt Collins]

Shane long / weimann

Is that a joke?

Regard the big striker man . origii on loan from Liverpool or ulloa if he's not being fancied at Leicester the other names I'll put out there literally in the fray ..Michael Frey of lille.
Good In the air and can play up top strong physical presence . however we have Kozak as well as gestde but thought I contribute.

[Matt Collins]

I did wonder about origi. He is both strong and fast. But think he's been disappointing in league football?

Once sturridge is back he wont get a look in. Ings too must be wondering how much he will play as does trippier these two are just two days of overestimating there abilities and skills have better been served getting first team action at villa. Spurs are notorious for buying players and them failing , Liverpool also have made recent purchasing without developing players I mean markovic for eg. Man city and Chelsea are worst offenders . Chelsea have players like lukaku, romelu even kakuta and pat van anholt to order extent that never get a look in but bought when their football education would have been better served elsewhere.
At least with the assets villa have bought we can give them opportunity I can't think of another premier league club doing business that way it's actually refreshing but somewhat experimental on the playing and developing side if not on the transfer assest side of things

Origi's goal scoring record is abysmal. That was another Rodgers own goal along with most of last season's signings from the sale of the buck tooth biter.

[Matt Collins]

There doesn't seem to be much speculation on the striker front and all the suggestions are we don't have significant sums to spend

I can't see Man U letting Wilson out on loan.

Worryingly, I'm struggling to think of a premier league team that I'd currently say seems to have worse centre forward options than us. Maybe Norwich and Sunderland? Or to illustrate it another way, and obviously this is only very illustrative, if you take a look at the strikers in fantasy football, you're scanning a long way down from most expensive to least before you start hitting villa players. We've a bunch all priced at a medium to low level. Which I think illustrates the quantity over quality issue that we have.

Obviously if gestede and ayew significantly improve, or gabby loses about a stone and recovers his old form that will change.

I'm thinking that this could be the perfect way of Adebayor coming in last minute and people actually being pleased about it.

Is today Eastie Day or is it tomorrow?

Is today Eastie Day or is it tomorrow?

Tomorrow

[silhillvilla]

This is not a time for panic, this is time for a cool head, perspective and leadership. And if we haven't signed anyone by this time tomorrow then we panic on the streets of London, panic on the streets of Birmingham .

[CJ]

Is today Eastie Day or is it tomorrow?

Tomorrow

It officially closes at 6 p.m. tomorrow and there's a Football Focus transfer deadline special on BBC2 at 5.15 covering the last bits

[Dante Lavelli]

Is today Eastie Day or is it tomorrow?

Tomorrow

Is it today in Europe i.e. because they may not have the bank holiday monday?  Not sure where I have got that idea from. 

[Matt Collins]

I think it's gonna be a quiet day or so overall.

If Chelsea or united get a striker in I think we should at least try for remy or Wilson on loan.

I'd have gone for adebayor but even with big concerns about a striker I think his attitude just stinks too much. Can't see us funding an Austin bid nor afobe

Michu or berbatov are surely not the answer

That leaves perhaps an up an coming young forward at a big club who needs a year on loan. Wouldn't know who though.

My best guess is we stick with what we have and I do think that spells bottom 6 unfortunately

[silhillvilla]

Don't want to keep mentioning the other Ayew but it's a shame we didnt get him as I reckon him and gestede or Kozak would link up well

[Clampy]

Id get an offer in after dante if he's off to Leicester , adebayor and , Hernandez on loan and lennon or matt Philips with free, Nolan, pienaar moses osman, and Walters . there's plenty of options affordable and names we all heard of which is now needed at this late stage. No more risks. Experienced players from premier league and Dante would be good.

You don't mean the Stoke Walters, do you?

Jesus fecking Christ.

And not to mention Kevin Fucking Nolan. Is that Russell Osman he's suggesting?

Richard Osman pointless. If Walters is as good as lescott and gets goals. Norwich  want him he's decent enough at this moment. Signing these players who clealry will be sold on if they are to develop well and make villa worth investing in makes business sense . having assests yes all well and good but some provern here and now players are needed . They 2 are Team players and good pros. Sherwood knoiws what he's getting with Walters and Nolan. I remember reading dammed united and cloughie brought in Dave mckay . john Gregory suggested joey Barton but no that's not team quality. And just a suggestion sorry if i annoyed you but I reason logic with it

Unless i've mis-read your post, why are you comparing Jonathan Walters to Lescott?
