Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[sirlordbaltimore]

I don't think replacing Hutton is a necessity

who's going to play right back if we don't ?

[peter w]

Difficult one but I'd probably go for Hutton.

[Steve67]

McCormack and Bridcutt still haven't moved as yet.  I wonder if the delay is because we need to shift players out before these two come in?  Less so McCormack, due to age and resale value, but I think Bridcutt might be a pretty good acquisition, with something to prove. I think Gana will go, so we DO need another midfielder.

Veretout's loan to OM is off according to talkshite

[sirlordbaltimore]

Difficult one but I'd probably go for Hutton.

and there's the problem with not replacing Hutton

[passitsideways]

I hope this means we at least give him a chance to show his abilities in actual matches and re-assess closer to the end of the window, rather than just panic-loaning him, at a subsidised rate, to whichever French club next comes in for him, or Betis, as rumoured.

[Joshua Fineman]

Gana off to Everton then..

Do you want to explain to them, or shall I?

[sirlordbaltimore]

Can someone explain this release clause thing to me. To my basic logic, if a player has a release clause set at 7.2m why would any other club put in a bid over that?

Tom Ross and some bloke off WM were saying the club now expect increased bids from other parties. Why ?

If he can leave for 7.2m then surely bidding that much gets you talks with the player and his agent and it's up to Gana whoever he signs for at that price

Right?

Wrong?

[old man villa fan]

I don't think replacing Hutton is a necessity. So, I think we'll be looking at 2 maybe 3 more - midfield, wide player (maybe), and forward.

What does Hutton offer that makes you think he is adequate even at this level, putting aside the fact we would have to replace him if we get promoted.

On Twitter, he's saying that Kante's release clause was £22m but that Leicester got £32m because there was a clause in the clause that allowed them to accept the highest bid over the release figure.

He doesn't explain this very well in his article but he might have a point (or he might be talking bollocks)

The SB Nation writer is claiming (I don't know whether he's right or not) that clauses could be written so that the highest bid over the release figure can be accepted.

If so, it puts paid to our latest trope/meme

He's good enough to play in the Championship.

I actually thought Lyden looked quite decent there last night.

I can't see that, it seems unwieldy.

I reckon he's got pulled up beforehand on "let's hope it starts a bidding war", and has come up with that so's his mates don't think he's a bit of a, well, let's say "noob"!
