Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Des Little]

His level may not be much above Hobart Paving FC.

The conversation might go:

"Join our club" - Saint Etienne
"You're in a bad way" - Veretout
"Who do you think you are" - fans

* applauds *

That awkward moment he'll be playing in front of bigger home crowds in division 2 than he was in the top flight with the 'pride of the Midlands'.

[Villa in Denmark]

If ever there was a phrase that summed up the underselling of Ellis in the 90's it was that and "The Man Utd of the Midlands".

FUCK OFF. We're the Aston Villa of the world.

[Rudy65]

For some reason I was really excited that we'd beaten Leicester to his signature. Funny old game.

See to recall we were linked with Vardy at the same time, and some, including me said no way! Also recall the LCFC fans being peed that we had signed Veretout. Little did they know what the season had in store for them. Funny old game

[OCD]

You think we've got it bad? Imagine having the choice between Leicester and Villa, thinking that it's an obvious choice and then being relegated with us whilst they win the league. How much must he be kicking himself?

[LukeJames]

Didn't they only sign Kante because we beat them to Veretout?

[ozzjim]

If he had joined then though, Kante may not have done.  I think there is a really good player in Veretout.  A season loan and then see him next summer might be good for both.  We should be in a better place to know how we are paying and he might have the confidence to fit in. 

Chester would be a brilliant buy.  Pulis dicked him about last season at full back etc. Really good player.

yep


sherwood wanted veretout and not kante

[tomd2103]

Mirror reporting we are after James Chester as Clarks replacement

That would be an excellent signing, proven in the championship and more than good enough to stay in the first team when we get promoted. Pleased if true.

Agree he would be a very good signing.  Plays on the right side of the CB pairing though, so unless Elphick is going to shift over, not sure how that would work.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I want him to stay. I think we've got in a habit of slagging every player from last season, Vertout doesn't deserve it. He was 22, an a year off being ready for the PL according to his former coach, President and French pundits. We played him out of position and then blame him for not pulling up trees. For me, he reminds me of Frank Carrodus and right now he's exactly the type of player we need around the squad.

Sending him off on-loan is a delaying tactic of releasing him next season for peanuts. He deserves his chance to grow and prove himself. I'll be disappointed if he goes as we're not exactly full of talent in midfield right now.

Not sure where he would fit in the current system though.  I would think he is now behind Veretout and Grealish for the 'number 10' role and I'm not sure he is physical enough for a deeper role in this league.

Edit - late night after a long day training at work!!  Meant McCormack.   

[curiousorange]

If Veretout is behind himself for the number 10 position then he must be really bad.

[supertom]

If Veretout is behind himself for the number 10 position then he must be really bad.

But I also hear there's a chance Veretout might be bought back into the fold and be above Veretout and Veretout in the pecking order. Just a whisper mind you.

We should put Veretout and Vetetout together.
