Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[themossman]

The great thing about Berbatov is that every time he gets a year older we drop a league so he can continue to be 'on the radar' well into his twilight years.

[avfcdale]

Can't lose any pace, clever player could also bring the best out of some of our youngsters

[mr underhill]

you cannot be serious! His wedge thankfully, would be beyond us and rightly so. This is going to be this year's Adebayor rumour without the soothsayers reading the runes.

i am serious get him in on a free, his best mate is looking to make a comeback. why not?

wages, that's why not

[Quiet Lion]

Can't think of a player less suited to the championship than berbatov.

[Louzie0]

I'd love him to play for The Villa, though. Just one season. While he's still got it.

Steve Taylor  released by Newcastle but model pro and would put likes of Richards and Leascott to shame with his no no sense attitude in defence . Also good enough expereince and worth having as a leader .

Ask yourself this Footy. Taylor has played his whole career at Newcastle who got relegated with us. They don't even see him as a useful reserve centre back. So why would he be a good signing for us?

[markeeeebeeee2005]

Taylor is better than Richards or lescott at centre back and has a better  attitude. So would bring expereince.  I mean he's a no nonsene defender and puts his body online.  Reminds me of a cross between Dunne and Collins.  The one concern would be injury otherwise he's a captain material and decent championship level player

Ashley Young used to put his body online, but he was good.

Steven Taylor has just been released by Newcastle United who have been relegated for the second time while he's been at the club. If he's not good enough for them he's definitely not good enough for us.

As an aside his comedy handball and faking injury when we relegated them was brilliant, nearly as good as Bowyer and Dier tearing strips off each other.

I can think of lots of things that could go wrong.
I also remember seeing him play. That's the point, really.
A Rolls Royce amongst, er, Robin Reliants.

Our first signing under the new regime will probably say a lot about the next couple of years...

Didn't you see him on Sunday?  Ran rings round Ben Sheppard, John Bishop and Paddy McGuiness..

The great thing about Berbatov is that every time he gets a year older we drop a league so he can continue to be 'on the radar' well into his twilight years.

The problem with signing Berbatov (for any club) is the taxi required to get him round the pitch during match days. The groundsman would be up in in arms at the damage to the pitch.
