Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[robbo1874]

I've always quite liked Fletcher, and he's got a bit more subtlety to his game than just being a lump.

As ! have said before Fletcher played very well for Wolves. Very adept at holding the ball up.

His goal record since then is abysmal.

We have enough players who were decent 4 or 5 years ago

Spot on.   That's been out problem for years now.  Please Villa learn  from the last 10 years FFS

i would suggest that our problem over the last 4-5 years has been selling our best players and replacing them with dross. And appointing shit mangers.

So we're in for Pantilimon apparently. Bournemouth's reserve centre half and Watford's reserve goalkeeper - Lerner out !

It's like the Mirror Group media hacks still think Randy is in charge. Because signing a goalkeeper that cannot beat out that clown Gomes will solve our existing comedy goalkeeping situation.

Isn't it more that now we are in the Championship they know that our options will be different. As it stands Burnley and Hull can offer potential signings something that we can't. Footballers are not known for long term thinking so potential is not generally high on their list of priorities.

If Amavi is the better crosser, surely you want him getting to the by-line to get crosses in. If he's crossing from a traditional left back position (obviously he could still overlap), then diagonal balls are too easy to deal with. It would be better to get defenders turning towards their goal. As for being too impulsive and wanting to stay forward, he needs to learn that side of the game and we would be better off with him learning that in the Championship than in the Premier League.

I'd guess that full-backs make more crosses nowadays unless you're playing with a 'hug the touchline' winger, but they're like rocking horse shit nowadays and create issues with having enough numbers in the centre of the pitch.

I reckon Vorm could be a good option for GK.  Playing championship football has to be better than spur's bench hasn't it?

I'm just suggesting it is easy/lazy journalism. And the Mirror Group, and specifically those who write about us at The Mirror and Mail are just horrible in their research or knowledge. And I very much include Gregg Evans in that, and even Kendrick has come across as useless of late. There are very starting goalkeepers in Europe, at the same level or lower down that could be options we are looking at but the back up keeper at Watford who was less than average at Sunderland generates a much desired click for them.

Brady weakens Norwich too which would be no bad thing.

So we need to find the ones who aren't so short-term in their thinking and that will see the potential, there will be some.

Brady would be over priced at £12mill but he's a very good player and could either play in front of Amavi or instead of him. He'd be a great signing for us. So would Vorm.

Vorm is good. I'd also take Myhill over Pantilimon who has looked fucking horrendous on every occasion I've seen him. In fact I'd sooner give Guzan a reprieve than sign him.

Vorm was brilliant that first season at Swansea. It always depresses me when a quality goalkeeper chooses to be second banana to a guy that's obviously not going anywhere.

Like Begovic, almost like retiring.

Where's the link with Brady come from?
