Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Nastylee]

With some of the names on here, we are going to have a lot of shit players to shift next summer. Unless of course, we're planning on an extended stay in the Chumps League.

Rhodes is far too immobile. We need pace to work channels and in behind teams so that they cannot just step up ten yards second half.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

They would be mad to turn that down.  I still can't believe we can't find a couple of strikers around Europe for 8million each that would take the championship apart

i think hull would take the cash but he doesnt fancy it

This is contributing to these capitulations I reckon. When the opposition start to push up we should be picking them off with fast breaks but we have no pacy players to do that. I thought Traore might be that man but no. We need someone like Gabby used to be, if only eh?

Lescott has signed for AEK Athens.

[London Villan]

That's a long drive, but he has a nice car.

[Percy McCarthy]

Lescott has signed for AEK Athens.

Traore not staying is a real blow pace wise

Big redundancies planned in the physio dept. I hear.

I wish I'd paid more attention to football outside of Villa last season. For a start I'd probably have enjoyed things a lot more. But also I might have at least a rudimentary understanding of some of the players we're currently being linked with. I have absolutely no idea of how good/shit/indifferent any of them are, to offer an opinion.

It does seem though, that we've identified a number of attacking options and are working hard to bring one or more in.

After we get a striker, whoever that may be, I'd still like to see a pacy winger who can deliver good balls in signed. And unfortunately, another keeper, as I don't think Gollini is up to it yet, on his showing so far.

let's hope our indifferent start to the season doesn't hinder us too much between now and Wednesday night

Has he actually gone? If not then we might be stuck with him in which case he either rots or knuckles down. Not convinced in him anyway.

I'm exactly the same, Mcormack, Chester, De Laet, Elphick, Jedinak, Tshibola I don't know much more about them than I knew about all those French players we were bringing in last season,
so I just go on what people on here say

I mean when we signed Mcormack I thought he was the striker we were after,
then people started saying we still need a striker, I thought we just signed one of those to go with Gestede, Kozac, Ayew, Murphy etc, but apparently not

I haven't got a clue about the other forwards  names linked, 'not mobile enough'  i wouldn't know,  I just hope we don't sign any end of window panic buys and waste a load of money as we have in the past

to be honest any decent manager with the squad we already have should be able to get us up into the playoffs at the very least
there is not that many clubs spending cash like us down there, we've nearly bought in a whole team of newbies,

even the likes of Warnock and Olly would get us up there with the players we have, so RDM should be ok I would think

no where near good enough for the prem though as it stands

[mr underhill]

Good points. I to thought McGoal was meant to be out 20 a season man but now it seems he can 't do that until we sign someone else. It's a real shame we can't seem to integrate Adama at all as we badly need that kind of pace in the side. Even as things stand now we should be better placed in the league than we are.

I think I count a 25 player turnaround, count in the loans as well. Around £400k a week off the wage bill, obviously not including the players signed. Need more in though, striker, centre back, two midfielders potentially.  With so many players coming and going, whilst I am optimistic, it will take time to settle down. Play offs at best for me this season.
