Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[VILLA MOLE]

Tony gone MIA for many hours... all going tits up.

I know I have become needy and want constant tweets

[KRS]

May be someone has got the wrong end of the stick and he's just gone on a short break to Valencia...and it all started by someone overhearing one of his mates saying "I bet a tenner he's gone to Valencia".

[supertom]

I think Hernandez and Valencia are very similar. Obviously Hernandez has the advantage having proved himself in the championship but I do think Valencia would have a similar record at this level. To be fair to him too, he's spent a lot of time pushed out wide for WH. I'd be happy with either as they'd improve our frontline, and both could also play wide if needed too. I'd prefer Hernandez as he's on a roll.

[Chris Jameson]

Makes a note to avoid Hernandez for any future holidays.

He is a gamble, but played down the middle i reckon he will be a lot better than people on here do. Hernandez would be a better bet of course, but Valencia is a pretty interesting one for a Championship club. Better than some options.

[ozzjim]

Quite like the look of this Viviani we are being linked with. Good pass on him and think we still need another centre mid. I get the feeling this summer has all been about the spine, and wingers etc will come later.

Valencia's never a wide man, if we play him through the middle then who knows, although £12m is a big gamble on who knows.
Hernandez looked pretty shite in his first Premier Lesgue spell though and he banged them in down here.

We are battling Coventry for the signature of Kevin Drinkell.

Well he is experienced,  although he did play for small heath so that might put a few fans off him.

[Gregorys Boy]

Not sure I can see us getting Hernandez.  Its uncertain what kind of season we are going to have and Hull's promising start might convince him that it is worth sticking around to help try and keep them up.  Think it would be a good buy as well as being a good finisher he would add some much needed pace through the middle.  But I do think we need to focus more on adding to the midfield at this point.  We need more of a goal threat from that area and more creativity too.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Agreed. Midfield is still our weakness. It's the battleground in English football and we're still not well equipped for a long, tough season.

[ozzjim]

We need another body in there for sure, although Bacuna can play holding midfield to a standard that is good enough in the Championship if we are short. He did ok there in a couple of games last season and seems very up for the fight this season, fair play to him for that. Plus we have Lyden to come back.

[KRS]

Yep we're still a midfielder and a striker short...and still at least 3 or 4 more players to get rid of.

If you are going to google Viviani, be careful with the spelling or your girlfriend/ wife might get very upset!

Remember how our promising start of two years ago turned out?
