Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Walmley_Villa]

Not that fussed about Clark going but RDM looks a bit stupid saying at the weekend that he was staying and committed to the club. Also that there were no more 'escape' clauses...Would lime to see some ambition now - Ross m would be a good start for me as a proven goalscorer and creator at this level. His fee would be covered comfortably if we get up...

If there is one thing I'll never understand with some Villa fans it's the fact they go on about transfer fees it's like it's their money. If it's £12m, £15m whatever, pay the dough and get RM in. He is a proven championship centre forward and if that's the cost then it's a drop in the ocean if he scores the goals that achieve promotion. Why is it some people bang on and on about the fee like it's coming from their account? They moan when we don't spent money and moan when we show a bit of intent

"If" he scores the goals that achieve promotion is the key bit.

I could counter what you say with why do people bang on and on about spending massive amounts of money for a second division club and not caring if it's a good investment are often the same ones moaning how shit we were run under the previous owner which all stemmed from spending money without caring if it was being spent wisely.

Do you not feel it's a good investment?

I've said a number of times over the last few pages that I think it's a very risky one and it's one I don't think is worth the risk.

Well, it's clear we need a proven striker so who would you go for?

Personally would go for Nakhi Wells from Huddersfield.  Would probably cost a fair bit less than McCormack.

Linked where?

Telegraph.

No idea as most I think of, or are mentioned on here, don't thrill me. I'd hope though that those employed by the club to know these things could find better than a £12-15m player that seems to be a Championship Darren Bent with a potentially suspect attitude.

Is he a Scottish fatty like Charlie Adam ? We need someone like Jordan Rhodes, a prolific goal-hanger with decent ability as well as able to hold it up. Don't know enough about McCormack to see if he's similar.

[mr underhill]

he is in the number of goals he scores

Rhodes is only one out of those three though.  We need some pace up there and someone who is willing to make the runs.

Im not singing with joy for Ross McCormack to come to Villa but he does know where the net is in a shit fulham team!

Didn't we let him go and he ended up at Manu via Motherwell and Celtic?
Would be quite a good signing considering the goals and honours he got whilst there.

Scottish fatty eh? Racism with added weightism. Love it.
