Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[ozzjim]

I would swap Gil and Sinclair for Gabby and Lescott and move Veretout into the keep pile

[CJ]

Out of that lot peter w, I'd add Gana to the 'good enough for the Championship', I'd move Bunn up to 'good enough for the Championship' as second keeper, Okore up to 'keep if they'd stay', Gil up to 'may do a job', and Guzan, Lescott, Flabby and Bacuna down to 'get out'

[peter w]

Gana - knew I'd forget someone

[Monty]

I think Gabby, Bacuna and Lescott just cannot stay after all the shit they've pulled this season.

I'd keep Lescott where Peter has him, Veretout up alongside Amavi et al but otherwise agree with you.

[passitsideways]

I think Gana will piss the Championship - he already led the PL in tackles+interceptions in spite of everything, so I'm sure he'll find it easy to break up play a division below. Pretty sure he'll force a move though.

Agree.
Which is a shame for Bacuna, as I think he would have done well in the championship and developed his game.

Nigel not much makes me laugh about the Villa at the moment but your Bacuna comment has brought tears to my eyes, thank you.

[ozzjim]

Whoever comes in as owner, and manager, has got to sit down and work out who is going to be a cut above that league and then convince them that staying is in their long term interests. If it meant keeping Amavi and Gana the season after, I would even loan them to top league sides and have them back if we got up.

I'd add Guzan and Richards to that list as well.

Get rid of those 5 along with nzog leaving and i think we'll have a squad that has far fewer players that the fans just don't like, which should make rebuilding that bridge much simpler.

Keep

Gana
Amavi
Baker - back up
Okore
Clark
Lyden
Gardener
Grealish
Bacuna - yes Bacuna
Traore - who I would like to see playing off Gestede as I think he would terrify defences holding a high line
Gestede
Ayew
Vertout
Steer

Buy

Dominant GK
Dominant / Captain Centre Half - we need more of a Teale than we do a Ferdinand
Pacey - out and out winger (If we have Gestede at least make some chances for him)
Goal poacher - Griffiths @ Celtic / McCormack @ Fulham / Billy Sharp

Sell / free  / Burn the rest

We have two categories of must go players.  Those who, for no fault of their own, eg Richardson, Bunn, Bennett are not good enough players, and those like Guzan, Richards, Agbonlahor, Lescott and Bacuna who have to go if the dressing room is ever going to be unified and committed to the club and the cause.  IMHO the latter group has no place at the club.

[peter w]

I disagree that Bacuna needs to go to get a unified dressing room but seeing how the fans have turned on him it may be better for him to leave.
