Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Steve67]

If Villa really do want Aaron Tshibola then two mill is a snip and I can't see him choosing Norwich over Villa! If we really do want him that is.

[ozzjim]

Not seen much of Tshibola but an energetic box to box midfielder would be great.

The Pantillimon link is interesting. I think he has a lot of potential and is a great size for a keeper. The new keeping coach must know him from Man City days.

McGovern has been released by Hamilton Accies and I think his performance against Germany today has been over-hyped. He made a couple of good blocks from attackers bearing in on him but went to ground far too quickly for the goal and was well beaten by Muller's two efforts off the woodwork.

I mean Guzan and Sanchez are flying it at the Euros equivalent in their neck of the woods curently but I'd be happy to send both packing to Hamilton for good.

To be fair, the genetic reproduction of Banks, Shilton, Rimmer, Spink, Bosnich and Jennings at their peak combined into 1 super keeper wouldn't have got close to the one off the bar just after the goal.

I think the above is a little harsh on McGovern. I think it's fair to say he had a blinder. It would be stupid to sign someone on the basis of one performance though. Goalkeepers need to be consistently performing week-in, week-out.

A good solid keeper should be our first priority after the Elphick signing

[Malandro]

A good solid keeper should be our first priority after the Elphick signing

You don't rate him?

[robbo1874]

I don't know him from a bar of soap mate and never claimed to. Others though, speak highly of him and his potential as a captain. My point is that now we've done that supposedly good bit of business, the next job is a solid keeper.

I got that one Malandro - you're far too clever for your own good.

Would help if the Reading guy could actually pass the ball. Gana and NRC are energetic box to box midfielders after all.

I better pipe down, I've been trouble the last few days. It must be the moon.

I think Muller was really unlucky with that one, he hit it so sweetly but it just seemed 'wobble' upwards a little (a bit like the cheap plastic flyaway balls do).

You're wasted on too many

Guzan does this.  Badly.

Just bumped into Emile Heskey at Glasgow Central station. Can confirm he remains unattached and is available. Ludicrously I asked 'why not come back to the Villa' yet throughout his career with us I gave him nothing but pelters, so fickle us Villa fans (@DOL)
