Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Phil from the upper holte]

I hope he's right. Otherwise he's going to look stupid

We will hold onto Ayew and Amavi like islands in the South China Sea.

I admire Tony's strength of statement. I doubt he's just saying it for the sake of it.

[Lastfootstamper]

I'm taking it as him saying we've no pressing need to cash in on two of our most valuable assets.

[Villafirst]

Good to hear from our owner. I believe him, I'm sure financial incentives are involved. He does need to demonstrate his financial muscle with a marquee signing. That would show we mean business. How refreshing to have an owner connecting with the fanbase after years of ignorance from the pathetic previous owner.

[Steve67]

I bet there's a few agents running around like blue arsed flies to get deals done, particularly as some of the bomb squad won't be fancied by other clubs after their disgraceful showing and lack of effort last season. Any money we get is a bonus but I'd be happy to see the likes of Gabby, Bacuna, Lescott et al struggle to find a club and get paid off, knowing that they are free agents and will suffer for their behaviour. Unlikely I know, but one can hope.

Although the one plus side of signing him would be watching LTA try to find something negative to say about Villa doing exactly what he said they should do.

Doubt it.  A proven goal scorer is exactly what we need.  Lots of talk from the new owner, but our transfer business so far has been very underwhelming.  Less talking and more action please.

We've signed 3 players very quickly. He has acted. And why are those signings underwhelming? What exactly were you expecting? You do realize we are not in the PL right?

[LTA]

Still a lot to do though TV.  The three signings im happy with, particularly Elphick, who offers desperately needed leadership on the field, but i dont see this squad being promotion material at the moment.  The middle looks week and im far from convinced about our goal scoring threat.  Plus we have too many players who are not up to the rigours of a promotion campaign still here.  Thats my main worry.

The season is very close now.

The season maybe but the end of the transfer window isn't.

So in one post you say the signings are underwhelming and then the next your happy with them.

Make your bloody mind up.

The AMOUNT of business.  Not the business.

[four fornicholl]

Witch hunt?

[footyskillz]

Strikers : emnes, vydra , nugent all do a job and less than over /priced McCormack. All played championship level and decent.  The Bristol city signing would be good but a real statement would be loic remy even in loan

[KevinGage]

Loic Remy?   Pfft.  Gotze, or GTF.  Or BFH, as the Patron Saint of Speedboats might say.
