Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[VillaAlways]

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.

I would. Especially seeing Bolasie going for double that having scored less goals than JA last season. He is a must keep

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.

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.

I think if he was played as a forward with some supply around him, we'd see a happier, goal-scoring Ayew. He's not a wide attacker for me, we're just accomodating others at his expense currently. He still looked our best attacking threat against Wednesday though.

I do. Slap an £18m price tag and get them to stump up for him. We've failed to cash in for years.

I would rather the club hangs onto him however.

12m for Ayew? No chance, if Andres gone for 20m then Jordans atleast 25m.

Agree with this.
Ayew was the pick of the bunch on Sunday and I think McCormack will enhance his play. Get some structure and assuredness in midfield and Ayew will improve. We should defo hang onto him by putting a realistic / stay-away price on him.

I find Ayew hard to fathom. He has talent but it is sporadic and mecurial.  He is neither a prolific creator or goalscorer. His defensive discipline is also questionable. He is way down the list of players i'd like to see leave but I won't cry too much about it either.

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

You reckon?

Last year of the players that the club obviously wanted rid of we disposed of Luna, Weimann, Sylla, Helenius, Senderos, Cole, Tonev, Given, Stevens and Lowton.

This summer it's Crespo, Guzan and Siegrist.

I wish we'd stop signing the utter shite in the first place

I'm not convinced by Celtics story that we wanted to keep Sinclair.

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.

My concern is that Ayew is turning into Zog, just with a better attitude and far better taste in clothes

Possibly, but we at least cared about keeping him enough to reject their first couple of bids.

Something which I wouldn't see happening for anyone on the above list.

He's being played out of position though, he's not a left sided midfielder in a 4 which is pretty much where we tried to fit him at the weekend.

Right now i'd switch to a 4321 and have him and RM as the 2.

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.

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.

I think the phrase used was "not a runner " Welcome back Gareth Barry

Or that we necessarily wanted to keep Gil or Sanchez. If Gabby and Lescott are going as well we're doing alright.

Surely if someone comes in for a player at a different club, that club are always going to act like they want to keep him in order to drive the price up.
