Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[JUAN PABLO]

I do not understand some of the comments on here about accepting losing Ayew.  The way I look at it is that we would want a better player than Ayew to replace him. Where do we get this player from and why wouldn't the other club (West Ham in this case) not be interested in this other player  as the attraction of going there would be higher than coming to us. Granted you need to consider the style of player and exact position he plays.

I find it very frustrating that there are many on here that turn against a player at the first sign of interest in the media.  Suddenly it becomes "f*** him, he wants to leave, let him go and he is c*** anyway".

and I think he only looked grumpy because he realised he was playing with utter shite

Baker ahead of Okore is weird imo

I think it's simply a case (as someone else mentioned) of wanting a left footer on the left side. Plus Baker's already had a stint in the league of course, and did very well according to Bristol City fans i've spoke to on twatter

Doing well for a team that spent the season bumping along the lower reaches of the division is not really a ringing endorsement.  We'll see how he does, but I think that is his level really.

It seems to have been for Ayew and Amavi

You could say the same about Ayew of course. To me if a defender is getting plaudits in a struggling team that must mean he's done his bit

I'd accept it if HE SAYS HE WANTS TO GO and the fee is acceptable, 12m plus

Are you suggesting we'd be better off keeping him in that instance? If so I don't understand that and never will.

How can we expect more than 12m for a striker that scored 7 goals though ?



Way more than £12m.  If he starts well, we should be asking nearer 20.

Dr Xia has just tweeted reiterating that he is staying.

And then to say want 3-4 more in + appt exp technical director

[ozzjim]

3-4 more... another striker, attacking mid, defensive mid and centre back?

[Toronto Villa]

For all the scepticism you can't say the bloke hasn't put his money where his mouth is and backed the manager.

[Nelly]

Also that he seems to be pretty passionate about Villa, as much so as any fan you could look at on Twitter. For good or for bad I find that pretty hard to argue against.

[Edvard Remberg]

Ahh! but have you asked LTA?

[JUAN PABLO]

Just heard villa tried to scupper the Mo Diame deal yesterday .

just the sort of player we need ..

[Toronto Villa]

Ahh! but have you asked LTA?

No sir I have no real desire to engage with him.

That made me wonder, what happened to SilhillVilla?

[Nelly]

What happened to Gregnash and Cooper's Injury?! And that bloke who used all the proper characters for foreign footballer's names? The H&V claret and black hole.

[Chris Jameson]

Cooper's and silhill were the same person. I've long suspected that LTA is a close relation.
