Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Dante Lavelli]

So we currently have Ayew, Gestede, Gabby and Kozak...how many of these should be sold and replaced?

I can't see us being able to get rid of Gabby and I'd like us to keep hold of Ayew, so it would be Gestede and Kozak to go for me.

I'd have thought that Gabby has pretty much burnt his bridges with the club after last season's debacle.  Whilst Black was a tit most of the time it appears the club backed him when suspending him and docking the wages, so I'd suspect/hope there is no way back for him now.

I'd love for us to get someone in like Rashford. He's going to be marginalised at Man U because Mourinho will want his own players in that cost him money. He's never really embraced youth or younger players. I think he'd be superb in the Championship.

Rashford will have a big season at Man Utd. No doubt he'd destroy in the Championship but he's very much a PL player and will get plenty of game time at Man Utd this season.

 In know what you are saying. But will he? Ibra will have something in his contract meaning he plays so many games. Mourinho doesnt see Rooney as anything other than a forward so Rashfords games time may be limited. That said he isnt coming to the championship

[Toronto Villa]

The Championship would be the perfect development arena for a player like Rashford. I think Mourinho will still go after another forward and Rashford when he plays will get shunted out on to the wing. Not saying he'd come or be willing to drop a division but playing on a regular basis will do way more for his career and England than being sat on the bench.

But with our past reputation,could we be trusted with a rough diamond like Rashford? I doubt it very much.

When you refer to the past how far back are you going?

About 10 years. I seriously cant think of a PL beater, never mind a world beater, which he undoubtedly is.

[Toronto Villa]

I certainly wouldn't be calling any England player a world beater. It's precisely that kind of nonsense that has us where we are as an international football nation. My point is why couldn't he develop with us? The right coaching, a positive environment, hopefully a successful season.

My point is in recent history, which teenager have we properly developed.

[PeterWithesShin]

As I said in the Bennett tread, since Houllier, how many players can we say have improved much at B6 apart from Delph and Benteke? That has to be down to managers and coaches as not every player we've had is crap.

Ings...Rashford...they are some seriously deluded people on here.

Bloody hell.  Maybe we could do a deal with the Spanish government and offer to let them sentence Messi to two years playing at Villa Park on parole instead of going to prison.  Or would that be a cruel and unusual punishment and therefore be banned by the ECHR?!

Kyle Walker was on loan at Villa and it didn't do him any harm.

We borrowed him and he soon shot off IIRC, he reckoned he wanted to stay but that was bollox
