Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Duncan Shaw]

Not Villa related, but was eating in a restaurant on the Albert Dock in Liverpool last night and Ashley Williams came in with a group of 4, all selfies and smiles so presume his Everton deal is done.

I must be the only one totally underwhelmed by the links to Ledley/Jedinak.

Not that either are bad players, I just find them both incredibly average and I assumed with the recent outgoings the idea was to rid ourselves of those type of player.

Average at our level they are not. They're mid-table Premier League players.

Pat Murphy:-

Understand Lescott & Agbonlahor r part of the @AVFCOfficial exit strategy,announced soon. Bit complicated at mo.But Richards in RDM's plans.

And

Jedinak & Hernandez under review by @AVFCOfficial but no bids as yet for them. RDM considering others as well. Working thro' his list.

I wonder who the bids are for then for the 3 players the good Dr mentioned?

[PeterWithe]

That makes a bit of sense, I'd say Baker, Elphick and Lescott are similar types of players whereas Richards has a bit of pace, even if his attitude is questionable. I'd still be pretty surprised though if Richards was still here after the window shuts, he'll get other offers.

I have no issue with Ayew going particularly for the fee of 12 million mentioned. I don't think he is one for the trenches and that money could be very useful.

He also says that the midfielder Dr Tony was tweeting about yesterday looks like it is not going to happen, but he does not know who it is.

We seem to be a lot more efficient at getting rid of players this summer.

I do.  He's one of only a very few who have the ability, desire, attitude and know how to lead us out of the division.  He gets frustrated with those around him which I fully understand.  He's also better than his brother who went for £20 million. He's a must keep.

I agree. To me he looked a cut above on Sunday and we need to keep him. We already have loads of players leaving who need replacing.

There's somethoing about him I don't like. I don't quite know what it is. He's shown flashes of skill, scored some great goals, seems to put the effort in. He was a class above all on the pitch on Sunday, but i just don't like watching him play? It's weird.

Same. I'd rather we keep players who have enough about them for a league higher than where we are.

He's talented but needs to pass the ball. He drives me nuts. He can walk past defenders but it's pointless if he refuses to use better options.

McCormack will have a frustrating time playing alongside him I think.

I agree - we need to be keeping our better players, and Ayew at least has a season with us under his belt and is exactly who we need. If he were playing for Hull or similar we'd bite their arms off for him. It's not worth trying to replace him.
