Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Pete]

I wonder if any club has fielded a full team of players whose name begins with the same letter?  Barnstoneworth came close but they had a head start with three brothers in the team.  Next season we could have Guzan, Grealish, Green, Gana, Gueye (I know, I know) Gestede, Gary Gardner and Gabby. Must be plenty of Gees on the market.  On your bike then Paddy Reilly.

Nowhere near with Barnstoneworth. Only one pair of brothers, too.

 Haggerty F., Haggerty. R., Tomkins, Noble, Carrick, Dobson, Crapper, Dewhurst, MacIntyre, Treadmore, Davitt.

We could do with someone of the calibre of Neville Davitt.

Eight bloody nil!

Edit - is this not the best football film ever? (TV programme, I know.....but, effectively, a short film).

Sounds like the new fire crew at Trumpton

Just get a shit ventriloquist to read the team sheet out.

Guzan, Gutton, Glarke, Gaker, Gennett, Grealish, Gana, Gardner, Gil, Green, Gestede

Bradley Dack from some first division club I forget the name of, looks a good little creative player, sell Gil.

He plays for Gillingham and is more of a "number ten" type player.  I really think we will need some pace in the final third next season and would like to see a quick striker with good movement.

Was talking with a few Villa supporting colleagues at work today and the general consensus was that if we can keep the few decent performers this season (Gana, Ayew) and build around them then we should have a good chance.  The worry is that the French contingent will leave en masses and we will be left with the dregs.  I mean can you imagine a side like the one below:


                               Bunn

Hutton           Okore              Clark      Cissokho

                 Westwood       Sanchez

       Gil                  Grealish                 Sinclair

                              Gestede

The championship is that shit after the top 3 or 4 that team would get in the play offs

Agreed - Not bad (!) - apart from the shit in bold

I wouldnt turn up to watch this lot

Thanks Pete, I stand corrected, Haggerty J only got the odd game when Neville Davitt was on international duty. Should not have counted him. It is the best football film ever, so real and so perfectly observed. The long suffering wife is an exact representation of the present Mrs Green.

First thing first gotta be, has to be a goaly. Rebuild the spine so I think I'd go for Chris Kirkland now at PNE, If they was scoring more they'd be up there challenging.
  Hes also out of contract in the summer, I believe, so that edges me to him also

Not so sure Sherlock.  A decent centre forward would be my priority.  Give everyone a lift.

Kind of team I would like to see (highly unlikely):

                                          Ruddy (Norwich)

Naughton  (Swansea)         Okore          Collins (West Ham)         Amavi

                                        Veretout          Adam (Stoke)

Sinclair                                        Grealish                                 Ayew

                                                    Gayle (C Palace)


   

[ldavfc4eva]

Gayle has signed a long term deal at place so we won't get him.

Anyone tempted of we could give Defoe on last pay day alongside Gestede?

Sorry, but he would never come to us. He would have at one time, but not now

[ldavfc4eva]

If he would come though would you have him?

I'd quite like him and crouch, that is if Ayew leaves which I hope he doesn't as he will piss the championship next season.

The lad at forest looks good assombalonga? Is there a list out there of players who are available on a free at the end of the season? They usually do the rounds about now but haven't seen one yet.

Yes could do with a banging CF though I got faith in that big Rudi will come good just need our Wingers fit Traore can be our Tony Daley, Greens coming through, Amavi - Lyden full backs. At the same time I agree what you say for me though a shit hot keeper edges the priority
