Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

Amavi is a good player. The rest would be better served melting down into glue.

So when they agreed to let Bennett go to Sheff Wed, did not they not realise they were in the same division as us?

With Richards, Hutton, Cissokho, and Amavi not exactly impressive I wouldn't let him leave either.

None of the above are good enough. We've got "up to £50m" to spend so why worry about shit players like these

I still hope Amavi will come good.  I also think Hutton will be ok if we have to decent center halves alongside him.  £50m doesn't go very far in the current market.  I suspect Chester will be £8-10m if we get him.  But yes, I agree, we need more strength asap.

How as Amavi gone from our LB wonder kid to shit after just one game back after almost a season out with an horrific injury

Correct.

We haven't seen a lot of him, but from what I have seen he looks suspect defensively and he was caught ball watching for their first goal last night.  Might benefit from playing further forward.

Source, The Sun and Twitter, so not the most reliable.

I don't think anyone is slating Jordan. However, we need a match ready LB now. We can give him another month or two to get fit and compete for a position. We can push him up the field, a la Bacuna, and give him less responsibility on the defensive end.

We look so far off the pace already. We've got to stop the bleeding and I don't care how much is costs. Win fucking games.

Phil Bardsley for right back he's a passionate so and so can also play left. I also want in some types like Britton a ball player from Swansea.  De laet- another steady full back and Andre wisdom.  Bring in vdyra who will get goals at this level and Gibson at Everton who like Britton proper footballer and professional who decent on and off field.

As you say, hardly the most reliable sources, but they would be three good signings.  Still would need another midfielder and a striker though.

Those would improve our defence by some way, with Jedinak actually offering some protection in front of the back four. I'd be happy with that. De Laet is pretty adaptable too. Would be good as cover, or to offer some balance and solidity on the right side of defence.
Fingers crossed.

At this level all 3 get the thumbs up from me.

phil Bardsley played for us about 10 yrs ago and wasn't very good then.

[PeterWithe]

Is Jedinak actually any good?

I thought Bardsley looked a typical Villa full back in his time here, looked fantastic for the first few games then went downhill faster than Franz Klammer.

SOrry if posted elsewhere... James Chester bid accepted?
