Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

If they had the money they'd spend it too.

Exactly. Sheffield Wednesday fans in particular have their bottom lip out.

They're decrying the unfairness of parachute payments that we get for being poor and relegated. What they forget is that they're not entitled to them because they're even worse and haven't bothered the top flight in 16 years.

[Tuscans]

Also Hernandez has been left out of Hull's 'squad' tonight

Bamford not in chelski squad either

Hardly a surprise, never kicked a ball for them.

How about our world class forward being Mario Ballotelli? Far fetched I know but....

I don't know about far fetched, hopefully left far away in Liverpool, cluttering up their wage bill.

We're getting stick from the press too. Charlie Wyett of The Sun and Mick Dennis of...somewhere else are gleefully rubbing their hands together at the prospect of Villa splurging everything they have on the likes of Ross McCormack and falling foul of FFP. So, to recap, if we don't spend, we show no ambition and the takeover is worthless. If we do spend, we're reckless and two steps from the workhouse door.

That on 5Live?

Twatter.

Mick Dennis was trying to make out Forest are a bigger club than Villa, which shows you the quality of his argument.

Just looked. Pure trolling.

I think we'd have to get lumbered down here for 2-3 years before we fell foul of the FFP. McGrath willing we'll be back in the Premiership next season and our wage bill will be manageable. Getting rid of Gabby, Richards and Lescott alone would probably cover the wages of our 7 signings so far. I don't think we'll be paying silly money by any stretch.

Mick  Dennis the Norwich fan? No agenda there

If they'd signed McCormack he'd have been a bargain, statement of intent, etc, etc.

You can smell the urine on fried potatoes from here.

Apparently Arsenal are after Jonny Evans but the bitters want £25-30m for him. Jonny sodding Evans!

Isn't that just the figure they put on all their playets?

Playets command a Pulis premium.
