Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[paul_e]

I hope not he'll too similar to Gestede.  Probably a slightly better finisher but still leaves us with no pace up front.

[LukeJames]

Dost is very much in the Gestede/Kozak mould (but obviously a better version) and wouldn't really solve our lack of pace and mobility up front.

From France: Last minute change in Aston Villa transfer, deal still going through (Jordan Vertout)

http://sportwitness.co.uk/france-last-minute-change-aston-villa-transfer-deal-still-going/?

What an awful site - eyes bleeding from the pop up adverts

I agree  - Balls to Veretout wanting to get away as far as possible

I tell you what Mr Sulky - go and rip some trees up and maybe just maybe we will let you grace our shirt again - Billy big bollocks (with no bollocks actually)

Really disappointed in this twat

Except the only suggestion that he wants to 'get as far away as possible' is entirely from the point of view of the writer who seems to have written the story based on tweets.  I'm not saying he didn't say he'd rather play in Ligue 1 than the championship but this could just as easily be our idea as it is his, or could be something tha we agree is better for his development.

If we go on the 'facts' RDM and Xia have made it clear they don't want people with a bad attitude and in this case they've altered the contract so he comes back.  So either we want to keep him and he is happy with that or, as eamonn says, we think his value will be higher next summer.

I don't like the assumption that anyone who we let go has kicked up a stink and forced a move when we have no idea if that is true.  Yes some papers say it but given how much bullshit gets published in the sports press I'm not sure there's any back up to those stories other than the writer thinking it's a fair guess.

He's ready to go...

Given the lack of impact he made last season, it will be quite annoying (and will also say something about him) if he now does well there.

Not if we have an option to take him back at the end of the season?

Ayew, RHM, Green ....
If Dost (about whom I know nothing) reads the game well an is instinctive he'll get away with not having pace.

[eamonn]

I've long thought the team needs more Bas Dosts.

We could always try for his cousin, Das Boot.

[N'ZMAV]

Didier Drogba.

[mr underhill]

fake AV twitter announcement.

[atomicjam]

When just asked if we are signing Drogba, Dr Tony Xia replied:-

Dr. Tony Xia ‏@Dr_TonyXia  59s60 seconds ago
Come on.It's not the China Villa club(maybe future will)

[N'ZMAV]

That response made me laugh.


I've also heard Robin Van Persie is linked to Villa.

That can't be real. He's still way too good for us.

Agree, Paul.
I doubt Veretout has said any of this stuff otherwise RDM and Dr X wouldn't have him back.
You only have to go back as far as the Bacuna incident to see how things get blown all out of proportion.

Green is a winger. RHM very young indeed. I'd have thought ayew could play there - and presumably we'll see that at Bristol if gestede is still out - but RDM doesn't seem to think so. He probably blew his audition at Luton to a large degree

[johnny from donny]

Didn't want to start a new thread so I'll ask here.
Is there a limit to the number of players in the 1st team squad like the premier league has?
