Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[PaulWinch again]

I'd love trippier but spurs rotate their full backs so I can't see it

If he doesn't rate adama we need another proper wide or creative player I think

Green will still get plenty of chances

I wouldn't say there's anything to indicate he doesn't rate Adama yet. When he first came available he picked him in the squad. I'm guessing he probably can't manage two games in the three days yet.

Bamford and Trippier would be great on loan, save any transfer money for the creative midfielder we need. That said, I would really like a more pacey and mobile forward.

[Tuscans]

If the Trippier rumour has any substance to it then that would be 4 players coming in who have all been part of Championship promoted teams. Robbie isn't mucking about here.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I think there's next to no chance we'll get Trippier. He's wanted at Spuds.

[Neil Hawkes]

When was the last time we signed 6 players that went straight into the team and all were an improvement on who they replaced?
I have nothing but praise for the deals made, credit where it's due.

If new homes cannot be found by August 31 for Lescott, Bennett, Gabby & Kozak, will they have to be donated to British Heart Foundation? I'm thinking of what happened to seemingly valuable furniture when we cleared out my late father-in-law's flat in January. And, if those players were books, they'd have to be pulped. Sadly.

[ACVilla]

Jedinak, Chester, Elphick and McCormack. Absolutely wonderful signings. If Gollini turns out to be decent we have simply the best spine in the division.

[Steve67]

I'm not sure we'll see the best of Villa until around November, when the new boys have gelled. We have some great new players, exactly what we asked for. I really hope we manage to grab another couple of gems. Last night, had they equalised like that last season, we would have lost the game. Small changes, positives though, will continue to happen if we can get another midfielder and a more mobile forward. Jedinak is an inspired signing who will be brilliant for Tshibola. I'd love to see, like others, a right back, centre mid and a good forward brought in. Dr Xia is absolutely delivering what he promised so far. Long may that continue.

[Richard]

Not sure we need a right back when Bacuna Hutton Richards Lyden can all play there.

Definitely another midfielder needed.

And a quick and mobile striker.

[ozzjim]

Midfielder, Winger, Striker, Right back to go.

[OCD]

If it means getting rid of Hutton and Richards, I'm all for a first choice right back.

[brontebilly]

Not sure we need a right back when Bacuna Hutton Richards Lyden can all play there.

Definitely another midfielder needed.

And a quick and mobile striker.

Im ok with Bacuna as a squad option, filler in a few positions. Lyden too

But the other two are useless

[PaulWinch again]

Midfielder, Winger, Striker, Right back to go.

That's a big ask in a week or so. I'd love it to be true, but a creative player and some pace are our priorities.

[eamonn]

Traore is the winger, just get him fit and coached. A replacement for Agbonlahlor, an upgrade on Cissokho/Bennett and we're good to go.

Edit: Just seen the Traore thread. Oh well, let's get someone who's a bit more ready and willing then.
