Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[cyrilina]

Wolves have gone and spent £20m and got themselves 22-year-old Benfica forward Anderson Talisca....

[mr underhill]

and we have Rudy, the man Lott turned to stone!

[aj2k77]

Rudy has just finished ambling back to the centre circle awaiting the kick off after going 3-1 down.

[Villafirst]

The next 3 weeks of his Transfer window are so important. What's happen to the 3 bids and 2 loan deals? I've said for weeks now that things have moved too slowly. Leaders and players with character and commitment are vital, even if it means paying over the odds. I really fear for this season as we're likely going to repeat what happened to Wolves with double relegation.

[aj2k77]

Fools to have thought this group of losers would do anything other than lose. We needed a real clear out, yes something like 12 out 10 in. That's the only way to deal with the chronic problems we have. Instead we've re-evaluated the players that have been given numerous chances to prove themselves and always proven themselves to be shit losers and now we've started the season with back to back defeats, another stupid record broken, another lower league defeat and the pressure is well and truely ramped up, meanwhile we start another game in a couple of days time with a group of players who haven't won for half a year, who have proven they can't handle pressure to any degree.

In other words, we are still a shambles and approached this wrong, the majority of the players needed in before the kick off, not as a reactionary to more defeats.

[Matt C]

Big three weeks ahead; more to do than I feared.

[OzVilla]

It really wasn't rocket science to work out that we needed a complete overhaul - I'm sure if the Club could of got rid of Gabby, Richards, Bacuna, Lescott, Cissoko, Hutton etc they gladly would of. But these fuckers are so bad and on such good terms that no one, absolutely no one, will touch them right now - so were stuck with them.  I despise them all!

The utter shambles of the Lerner years will take a long time to fix and here is symptom A.   I'm sick of losing, in fact not just losing but surrendering in games.  We all say it has to stop now, but it won't, not while there fuckwits are still stinking the place out.

I've no idea what we do, you just can't carry a bomb squad on Championship revenues so in short we're fucked.

[mr underhill]

you're right - a succession of different managers and coaches have all failed to get a tune out of the usual suspects. Someone, somewhere might be mad enough to go for Richards, Okore and possibly Baker. As for the rest? The only real solution is to negotiate settlements to fuck off but that's not going to happen.

[robbo1874]

If the money is there, bring in around 5 or 6 new signings. If not, we have to be looking at loan deals for a good quality right back, centre back and a couple of midfielders and maybe another striker. We need to minimise the number of players from last season who pollute our starting XI this season. Anybody can see that. The stench of failure still pervades unfortunately.

[Ads]

We need Elphick of the midfield flavour. A moon barking loon who can bleed for the cause and a leader. We need that solidity to help the defence, the full backs in particular and push the ball into some obviously talented players.

If that's Jedinak the fine, but whoever it is, panic buy that player today.

[robbo1874]

Aside from the issue of a lack of quality, we've clearly got a confidence issue that is causing us just as many, if not more problems. There is still a few weeks to go before the window closes. Villa need to sort their shit out before the end of the month, or we'll be staying in Chumps league next season. I trust the supporters will get behind the team in the first two home matches, but if we don't make another 4 or 5 changes then I don't think the fans will be as patient this season as they have in the last 2 or 3.

[mr underhill]

that's probably the understatement of the year. And unless we get our shit together soon, there's a possibility of only having one  season in the chumps before tackling the division below. One win in six months tells you so.

[robbo1874]

Just trying to look at it objectively mate

[brian green]

Agree with you Ads.  Problem is you need strong management to weather the shit storm of righteous indignation if you bring in a fixer with baggage, Joey Barton being an example.  I was and remain an unapologetic Pearson fan.  I could accept his horribleness because I believed he would not have allowed the perpetuation of wimpishness we are still seeing in the team.  I am deadly serious when I say we need the football equivalent of the Hanson brothers in Slapshot.

[ASHTONVILLA]

Good feeling gone. I now think we need a new left back, right back and central defender as well as a midfield battler, winger and another striker. Six players in by the end of the month isn't likely.

Priority is a Jedinak or similar n the centre of the park.

Defence looks better with Elphick, but concerned wjat happens if he gets injured and we end up with that wanker Richards in defence. Baker and Okore are OK alongside Elphick but with each other or Richards they turn to shit. Like the look of Chester.

Amavi is not good enough, I actually rate Cissokho higher. We need a new left back.

I thought Hutton would be OK at this level, but was clearly wrong. Need a new right back.

Gestede is not going to come good, and tbh I don't rate Ayew (would sell if we got a good offer), need a good partner for RM.

Also need another Keeper, Bunn not good enough for cover and don't want to risk Gollini getting injured and being stuck with him in goal all season.

Still if we do sign Jedinak, Hernandez and Chester we are a long way to being more competitive.

Oh and ffs get rid of Richards.
