Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

That beard is a fougazi.  It is biologically impossible to have wispy bum fluff on your napper and a split horsehair sofa on your chops.

Not one of them can beat a man.

I beg to differ - Gana has developed a Delph-like ability to go past men - he may have trouble with his passing, mind

That's illegal.

That's illegal.

It's ok as long as money doesn't change hands.

R v Brown says otherwise.

I read yesterday on Newsnow that we are in talks with 32 year old Raul Miereles the former Liverpool and Chelsea player. If he still has it, could be a smart move.

If nothing else, he would bring one of the finer beards that football has to offer:

That's not a beard just a chinful of bees.

If it comes off it'll be a bit of a coup and I might be able to look forward to him kicking the crap out of Joey Barton. Terms and conditions apply.

I wouldn't mind Morrison on a free from the Bitters.

What happened to the young lad Vydra at Watford? He was scoring for fun the season they were promoted, I remember seeing a stat he'd scored almost 40 goals in 2 seasons there.

He's at Reading. Not sure how he is doing. Wasn't he at Albion for a bit too?

How about offering Grealish on a loan deal to West Ham in exchange for Martin Samuelson their extremely skilful midfielder currently on loan at Peterborough.

and while we are on the subject of Peterborough. Jon Taylor looked like a winger we could use to supply Gestede. Fast and direct. A bit like Ray Graydon in size and skill.

[OCD]

What benefit is there to get from having Grealish playing back up to Payet and Lanzini? Just look at getting Samuelson on loan next season if a) he's a good player (I've not seen him) and b) it's not going to block the path of anyone we might have coming through.

[peter w]

Or just keep Grealish and look to add some quality around him.

[Toronto Villa]

I like what Sir Brian says about the types of player we need at Aston Villa. As he will be a key member of the football board I am looking forward to what this summer brings in terms of recruitment.

Or just keep Grealish and look to add some quality around him.

Yep.  Grealish is a player that I hope will be a central part of the team next season.  Two solid midfielders behind him, two quick wide players either side and a mobile forward with good movement in front of him.
