Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Clampy]

I thought Brady looked really good 2 seasons ago. The useless Lerner regime allowed him to join Norwich. Lerner was totally pathetic as a custodian of our great club.

How do you know the manager at the time wanted him?

I don't but the management at the time were poor decision makers - and look where the club finds itself as a result.

So the point of saying we allowed him to join Norwich was er, pointless.

As for the past and Lerner, it's gone and so has he, time to move on.

Ronaldo was really good when he left Manu.The useless Lerner regime allowed him to join Real Madrid. Lerner was totally pathetic as a custodian of our great club.

Not as bad as doug who allowed a very young Messi to join the barcelona academy without even trying to steal in for him!

[Toronto Villa]

More disappointing when you consider Doug taught him a kick where he has his back to goal and in a bicycle motion, strikes the ball in mid air into the net as it is crossed in. Barcelona's gain was very much our loss. Emeritus OUT

I blame Lerner for us letting Platt leave.

[Steve67]

I see the Ravell Morrison link seems to have resurfaced. I blame Lerner for that too.

Robbie Brady's value might just have bumped up.

Hendrick and Brady would be good additions for the Championship...and Long would run riot if he could be persuaded to drop down for a season.

[SoccerHQ]

Get Brady in.

Him and Amavi would be fantastic left hand side in the championship.

We always make Shane Long look world class. Maybe if he played for us, he'd bang in 30 goals a season.

[Duncan Shaw]

I suspect Brady has a) Just put another couple of million on his fee and b) got a move back to the Prem.

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)

Did he fall over, and is he now out for two months?

It's okay because we're still a Premier League club. We're just having a gap year to go travelling...to Huddersfield.

Unlikely with Long, but yeah think we should have a go anyway.  Him and Ruddy should make for a good pairing.  Add a decent supply line from out wide and get the balance right at the back then we could be in business.  But I guess those are big ifs...

[ChicagoLion]

Long ?
Call me old fashioned but I prefer strikers that score goals.
He dosent except against us.
