Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Small Rodent]

I'm looking forward to the match now.

The promise of new signings hopefully will have them all playing for their positions.

[Toronto Villa]

I'd love us to get Giovinco from my Toronto FC. He's not an out and out striker, plays a little deeper usually, almost in an attacking midfield spot. Yet hattrick tonight in a 4-1 win making it 15 goals in 22 games. He has been amazing since joining, but I am convinced he could do it at a higher level.

[Matt Collins]

Excellent player, though doesn't he play exactly the position that McCormack, ayew and grealish all want to play in?

Would rather we prioritise a right sided midfielder, a mobile no 9, a dominating central midfielder, and a right back

Isnt Tshibola a dominating CM? He certainly has the physique to be one.

[Matt Collins]

True. I guess he's unproven. I think jedinak would be a good option

Definitely ive always liked Jedinak I think his personality would maybe help transform others around him.

I was out in Toronto with work early July and went to Toronto v Chicago and thought Giovinco was fantastic, easily the best player on the pitch with great vision. Good atmosphere at the game as well- really enjoyed my night evening there- I even bought a Toronto FC cap (Adidas quality was so good)

Has Ayew gone to the baggies yet?

He would leapfrog Hodge and Delph if that happened.

[Damo70]

Due to house renovations I am currently sleeping in my teenage sons room while he is staying with my parents. I have just realised that his collection of Villa posters from the matchday programme are very suddenly out of date. He has twenty pictures of 'Villa players' on the wall. Only three of the twenty are still with us.

Just watching the (bad) channel 5 highlights programme

Striking how many goals coming from corners. There were suggestions RDM wants a set piece specialist. That would be a really good shout

Also there are more old fashioned goals - get it wide and get it in the box. You can see why gestede could still be a real threat. Not with Hutton swinging them in though!

I know it's all relative and it's part of the game, but I'm really beginning not to care about players leaving. They all do - they're not tied down to Villa for life. If he joins West Brom, so what? He's good, potentially very good but not great. If he sits out his contract and leaves for say, Marseilles, he wouldn't be looked back on as a Villa legend, so does it really matter? As long as the lot on the pitch give their all that's what matters.

It was awful, wasn't it? I particularly liked the parts where they missed out the highlights and went straight into punditry (used loosely).

Haven't we already got Westwood for that? On a more serious note - McCormack?

I think the last time I really cared about a player leaving was Tony Morley to Albion. Then it really hurt when I saw him wear a Small Heath shirt on loan. As for last season's bunch I would happily drive them to wherever they wanted to go and wouldn't even ask them for the petrol money.

The programme was terrible. The editing was crap, and Michael Gray is about as interesting as a plank of wood.

If they were going to Albion yes, but if they were off to Newcastle or Sunderland then I think I'd want a fiver off them at least.
