Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Villafirst]

Some people need to wake up. Did you not notice the points tally most of this squad achieved last season? Miles behind Newcastle and Norwich.

Good job we are playing 21 other 2nd division teams then.

And that's relevant because?

Nothing changes ever.

Having a new owner, board, manager, coaches and players means that we can expect things to stay just as they were.

Could be but with him there I think we need to buy an attacking midfielder. Grealish may be earmarked for the job but I'd get another midfielder in anyway.

Gil is still with us, as is Veretout if he is going to be played in that role.  Depending on how Stan gets along, I still think we could do with an Elphick type signing in midfield who could shore things up a bit in there.

[mr underhill]

I thought the good Dr hinted at this type of signing being in the pipeline, together with a new striker in a recent interview?

If we took Miguel Santa from Marseille in part exchange we could put a release clause in his contract.  A Santa clause

Would he enable Villa to use a Christmas Tree formation ?

Presumably with Juan Pablo Angel up top? And Mark Tinsella in the middle.


Sorry - only just spotted this punathon. Better never than late....

Is Villafirst any relation to LTA?

It could've been a year late. Mark Tinsella had to be put out there.

[mr underhill]

Santa only comes once a year so he'd be next to useless

[gnrpoison]

I still think this season is going to be a cracker and hopefully we roast a few teams.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

we were like the christmas decorations last season, down by the 6th january

[mr underhill]

things can only get better, can't they?

[eamonn]

Apparently Di Matteo said regarding outgoings,  some we will be surprised by and some will be disappointing. I guess the latter refers to transfer release clauses being met for the more coveted ones suggesting Gana and maybe Ayew are likely off.

"Surprised and disappointing" sounds pretty ominous especially with only 3 weeks to go.
