Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[mr underhill]

it's not so much that this guy looks fairly small, it's also that he's a featherweight. I imagine if you blew on him he'd end up on outside lane of the M6 southbound

[mr underhill]

my mistake too much excitement. that was meant to go in the new keeper thread. Off for a lie down

David Ornstein (BBC) is reporting that Berbatov's wage demands are too high, and that Adebayor has rejected a move to us.

Time fro Wilson? Wouldn't need to ship anyone out either, as he's under 21...

Aston Villa held talks with the agent of Dimitar Berbatov today, but decided against signing the 34-year-old striker on the grounds that his wage demands were too high. Berbatov is a free agent after his contract expired at Monaco, though, so he could be signed outside the window. Meanwhile, Villa are no longer interested in signing Emmanuel Adebayor. They had a deal agreed with Tottenham for the striker in late July, but Adebayor rejected the move and Villa have not pursued him since.

Good on both accounts. We need goals but we don't over the hill mercenaries looking for their final pay day in this team.

I agree with this but I am sure if AB signs on deadline we will all change our tune - lol

[Malandro]

I'm waiting until the deadline has passed before I call Adebayor a lazy, greedy swine.

[cdbearsfan]

I don't mind not signing Adebayor so long as we have another forward lined up who is as good or better.

I suspect Berbatov will drop his demands and sign for someone after the deadline. Maybe us, maybe some US/Arab loadsamoney irrelevance.

I still want Austin...

Walters is worth a punt as was Glenn Murray both could get as many goals with tgere head as gestede and good enough on the floor

Walters. No thanks (hopefully he'll sign for Leicester, Baggies or some other shit effort)
Murray. No thanks (already signed for Bournemouth)

[Dante Lavelli]

My mate has mentioned a loan move with Townsend.  No idea where that rumour has come from.

Whilst we have loads of players of that ilk, we have been forced to play Bacuna in that position recently and Adama might be a bit raw at the moment.  Not a huge fan of Townsend - largely due to the 15m fee - but could be a good transitional player whilst Adama gets used to life in this country.  Assuming Spurs/player do not ask silly money.

Been out all day.How's Natalie's eye or do l have to cross over to Eastie for this essential information?

There must be more to the Austin story than meets the eye. I'm convinced one of the Premier league clubs would have forked out 15 million if everthing was ok with the player. My guess is his knees or whatever the reasons were that he failed the medical at Hull is putting people off.

Why ever not good sir!?? He's as good an option as adeybayor or berbatov at this moment ? Though it looks like a fee is wanted and villa seem to be looking at loans? Andy Burton claims he's been on phone to adebayor and that he sitting at home watching SSN hoping west ham sign him
