Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[ASHTONVILLA]

I don't mind Westwood either and there are plenty of midfielders that should be out of the door before with him.

Corrected

 I don't dislike him, he works hard enough and doesn't moan. He isn't good enough for Villa though, and he like a few other players, needs replacing with better.

If we could sell Westwood for £6m and buy a better replacement at £8m, I would say that would be £2m very well spent.

Still seeing links to De Laet, would be nice to have a new full back for saturday but I guess if he signs eventually its better De Laet than never 

It would be nice seeing Hutton back to back up, and being able to get shot of Richards.

Also seeing links to Bamford again today. Scores goals at this level, so would be happy with that.

I agree.  I think there is a good player hidden within Westwood but I do not think he will improve whilst at Villa and therefore a change should suit all parties.

I'd offer £8-10m for Hughes at Derby (i.e. similar to the price Norwich paid spurs to buy Pritchard) and bring in Jedinak. One for now and one for the future.

I've just had a look on TBAR for the first time in months. Please don't ever release me on a free transfer to that strange place.

The Bamford bandwagon is gathering pace.

I had a peep the other day.  It told me my last look was back in February.  I think there were either six or eight on there at the time the other day.

I've never really seen it with will Hughes, despite the hype

The defensive midfielder they got from Albion looked good tho

Would definitely be ok w bamford - at least he can run like a professional

You probably had to check with another source that we'd won a game.

George Thorne? Looks a useful player but doesn't seem like much of an upgrade on Westwood to me though

Noticed that myself but I hope they're wrong on that one.

It's all dancing bananas, wavey scarfs and bouncing boobs in there.

Not that I have any objection to bouncing boobs.

Westwood is impact-less. The Sheff Wed game perfectly summed him up for me. He did nothing wrong, kept possession neatly, always giving an option for a team-mate, before neatly moving the ball onto another, without really progressing the play at all. But then he had 2 decent shooting opportunities from the edge of the box and failed to hit the target with either.

As others have said, he's far from our worst player, but he's also one that we desperately need to upgrade if we want to get out of this division. If not Jedinak, then I'd be going all out for Hendrick. Ticks almost every box for us, and would weaken a direct rival in the process.

[Toronto Villa]

We need at minimum 2 more midfielders who are strong characters as much as good players. We need to shed ourselves of this subservient attitude especially in that part of the pitch.
