Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[SoccerHQ]

Veretout is still around. I'd prefer to see him playing ahead of Gardner

Me too.

Veretout dosen't want to be here though, can only think there's not much interest in him.

We need players who'll roll their sleeves up at this level and I don't see that with Veretout.

[JUAN PABLO]

Agreed (edit - with Russell). We're a mid table championship team as it stands. We can't expect due deference from players with no connection to the club based on our distant past.

Benteke openly used us as a stepping stone but then he kept us up a couple of times single handedly. If there is another prodigiously gifted mercenary out there that gets us promoted I'm all for it.

He is  not exactly Beneteke is he , he has a poor past and has let a lot of managers and teams down. I would understand a Amadou Diawara type waiting for maybe a better option but we are Aston Villa and he is Ravel Morrison and if he wants to wait for Hull or Burnley well good luck to him.

That's fine, but it contradicts your original point that you don't want "a player who thinks Villa are second best." Essentially, you just don't want Morrison?

[Gareth]

With Morrisons career history he should be champing at the bit to sign for a Chsmpionship side where he could influence a promotion challenge - there is not a Premiership team where he would be anymore than a squad option, he should want to play!

Veretout would be intruiged to know if he has learnt English, the fact he was discarded by RDM in no time suggests attitude rather than not rating him. 

Kozak, having invested 7m in signing him I wonder if a loan move to see where his game is after all the injuries before binning him is way forward? Is he out of contract next summer?

Genuine question, have I missed something with him?

There were a few rumours about his attitude in the summer, displaying all the signs he didn't want to hang around. It was posted on here, believe!

I'm pretty sure his agent was quote as saying he had no intention of playing in the championship earlier this summer. How on earth he's got the idea this is below him is frankly baffling. He should be chomping at the bit to tear this league up and show us what he's made of

That sounds like your fairly standard "come and get me" plea, rather than anything particular. Surely if he was keen on leaving he would've accepted one of the various loans we allegedly lined up. Still could, mind you.

I had not made up my mind about it , he obviously has the talent but would he just be another twat like we have had in the past unsettling the dressing room , I just do not know.

I meant second best with somebody like Morrison who is at a massive crossroads in his career and has not done anything yet . maybe I can handle a Benteke type because we would make lots of money on him even if we are a stepping stone, not that I heard Benteke say it I just knew watching him he would not be here long ,I dont think Morrison can afford to be in that position .

 If you think say Amadou Diawara is using us has a  stepping stone then bring it on as we will make a shed load of money on him , even thou it is a lot of money on a young potential player where Id prefer to spend it else where like up front and get a Ledley type in .

[RussellC]

Like you, I've no idea how Morrison would work out. I agree, if he's a success though he'd probably looking for a move sooner rather than later. If the fee isn't too high I think I'd be inclined to take a chance on him, as he's undoubtedly a huge, huge talent. Didn't Rio Ferdinand say that he was the most naturally gifted footballer he'd seen come through the Utd Youth Team...?!

[Mellin]

He's a piss taker/time waster and we've had enough of them. Him and Gabby will be on Broad Street every night. No thanks.

[Axl Rose]

This. No more utter degenerates at the club.

[Mister E]

... The squads still badly missing a winger too ...

What's wrong with Green?

[rob_bridge]

Ferdinand says that about every United Youth player

Like Hansen used to say Liverpool will be well placed to win the league 'Next Season'
