Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[PaulWinch again]

Di Matteo has confirmed Fiorentina want to sign Villa midfielder Carlos Sanchez.

“Sanchez? Fiorentina are interested, we are aware of this but at this moment there is no agreement between the parties,” Di Matteo said.

“He is an Aston Villa player and that will be the case until there is an agreement between the two clubs.”

See I like this attitude we seem to be playing hardball successfully.

And can we please not use terms like "cancer" when talking about players, no matter how shite they are.

And Chris, it was obviously a joke, so wind your neck in.

So the word Cancer is banned from the site no matter what the definition?

Which bit of "when talking about players" did you miss?

Unless of course we hear of a player with cancer I suppose.

Over the top reaction by all.  Cancer is not solely a medical term, and if the original poster was alluding to his supposed malign influence on the dressing room, it wouldn't be wide of the mark.

Of course it is, 'Cancer' is widely used as a metaphor in all sorts of situations. If anyone finds that offensive I suggest they grow a thicker skin. 

I suggest you accept that people find different things offensive.

I accept it, but that doesn't make it right. However I know you love nothing better than sitting a top your righteous high horse so I will leave it at that.

No, you'll just leave.

Were you an only child?

I don't really understand why people are getting so upset that they can't use the word 'cancer'. If other people find it offensive why not show a bit of understanding and just use any number of words that get their meaning across without upsetting people.

Ah yes, the way to winning an argument is by being offensive it seems.

Perhaps it's the return of the prodigal son. Mr Gareth Barry....? Can think of anyone else who would fit the bill unless it was either Delph or benteke on loan, or am I miss comprehending the meaning of what's been said?

[KRS]

I'm intrigued by this "meltdown" transfer rumour that has apparently been stirring on Twitter.

edit:
That sentence may be a bit too much of a temptation to resist for those of you that enjoy a pun fest!

It's like when white people say 'if those rappers can use the N word, how come I can't?' and I always think 'why do you want to?'

[ldavfc4eva]

Depends on the context of meltdown? Someone so good that we should never be able to sign them? Or someone who has left us under a dark cloud? Who fits the bill for the latter? Barry, downing, Delph? Intrigued to be honest

[Matt C]

Could be Morrison.

Uh!? No it isn't, it's nothing like that at all.

I'm late to this, the word 'cancer' is offensive to some on here?

Delph would never darken our door again. I'd love to see Barry return but he can hold his own in the PL and must be nearing record number of appearances, surely? Can't see him dropping down, though I'd love it to be true.

Looks like it.

[johnny from donny]

Guys,  without wishing to detract from anybody's  right to freedom of expression,  can we all move on from the argument.  Agree to disagree,  whatever  it takes. Just draw a line under it please.

It's Steve H***e coming out of retirement. That would be proper meltdown territory.

[LukeJames]

Meltdown? were signing Demba Ba-beque.

[PeterWithe]

Barry would be welcomed back with open arms wouldn't he, he was very well received when coming back with Everton.

Can't see it mind.
