Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[OCD]

It seems we're not interested in Morrison because of his off-field antics. I can't see us being interested in Balotelli in that case.

just seen something on facebook about Villa being interested in Balotelli....

Dr Tony, went up north
In a Hyundai i20
Brough us back a star striker
Mario Balotelli

Or something like that ....

So far as I know Balotelli has been a bit of a loose cannon but hasn't encountered legal problems. His misdemeanours are far less serious that Morrison's.

[Dante Lavelli]

With Hull so short of players maybe we could off load a few of the bomb-squad as part of any Hernandez deal.  Gabby/Richards/Lescott all seem pretty 'billy-big-bollocks' and probably think they deserve to be in the PL.

Balotelli? No thanks - he's a loon and if Liverpool can't get him motivated we'd have no chance.

I wouldn't be surprised, from everything I've read, if he has autism/asperger's, the vast majority of his issues are related to him being inappropriate (walking away from people whilst they talk to him, wanting his friend with him all the time, interrupting team talks, making jokes at bad times, etc) rather than being intentionally nasty or disruptive.  I'd take him and I contract him to spend some many hours a month with a therapist.  If they can find a way to get him to focus on football he has the potential to be a top player so it'd be worth a go.

I hope this is just twitter and tabloid rubbish. I'd have more objection to signing Balotelli than when Alex McCleish became manager - we're seeing embryonic signs of a team spirit developing again why would you chuck this lunatic into the mix and ruin it? If we're going to spank 100k a week on a striker there are far better options. Just the thought of him down Bodymoor holding a Villa shirt makes my blood boil.

chill - it's baliobollocks

[eamonn]

Didn't we wait 500 pages in the January transfer-thread in the faint hope of one miserly signing? 420 in this time round and we've bought half a team. Whatever happens over the next 10 days we'll always have this. Thanks hun.

Dr Tony went to Greggs
In his Mitsubishi Colt
All the locals had fat legs
Just like new signing Grant Holt.

i think Ballotelli likes to squeeze his meat and two veg down the villa

[cyrilina]

Rongtian He, the right hand man to Dr Tony has just connected on Linkedin an hour ago with the general counsel (chief lawyer) of Leeds United AFC - could this possible mean a deal of some kind between the two clubs imminently?

[Ads]

Maybe he's after him?

Richard E could replace him as the in house solicitor. He'd be busy.
