Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[mr underhill]

I'm actually on first name terms with all of them.

Jedinak has played there a few times for palace when they have needed him.  According to someone I know (who is only 4ft10 in fairness) that has met Jedinak a few times now, he's huge and very imposing so I would imagine he could play centre half if we were short.

[Proposition Joe]

I knew Jedinak because he was the one sticker I got duplicates of more than any other for South Africa 2010.  Chester rang a bell, but I couldn't have told you that he was Welsh or played for West Brom.

The rest I'd honestly never heard of, but then my football watching has reduced in recent years to Villa matches and big tournaments.

[mattjpa]

looking at things with a view to business today and using a rigid formation that I appreciate may change:

Golini (Bunn, Steer)

Amavi (Cissokho)
Chester (Baker)
Elphick (Toner)
De Laet (Hutton, Richards )

Tshibola (Westwood, Lyden)
Jedinak (Gardner)

Ayew (Bacuna)
Grealish (Green)
McCormack (Traore)

Kodjia (Gestede, Kozak, Agbonlahor)

We are pretty well covered and the squad doesnt look too fat. Its been well documented that Traore wants to leave and I dont think Richards will be happy as 4th choice CB/ 3rd choice RB so may leave. I dont think Agbonlahor is happy as 4 choice striker but dont think he will move as nobody wants him. The front 4 are all interchangeable depending on formation and opposition so no worries there until ACON.
If we get someone in like Adomah for Traore ill be pleased as although talented he has offered very little to the team but otherwise, I wont lose any sleep if we are done till January. Its all on RDM and SC now....

Wet Spam not interested in Richards apparently.

[QuintonVilla]

Still a centre half and creative/pacy midfielder/winger needed imo.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Feeling pretty pleased with Xia's first window. For sure we could use more midfielders (we always can) but we are a better side now than we were bought by him.

Slavan Billic is a shrewd guy, I thought it was bollocks when I first heard the rumour

[cdward]

The reason we have been able to shift players out quickly this time around is because they have all taken a drop in wages because of relegation.
Showing the true colours of the modern day football mercenary, as soon as someone offers them more money, they fuck off to exotic places like Newcastle, Glasgow, Middlesbrough, Cardiff and Athens quicker than you can say Charles N'Zogbia.

It's simple, someone offers them more money and they're off.

I remember being surprised when Luke Young turned down a chance to move to Liverpool, until it came out he would of had to take a pay cut. Of course he came out with the usual bullshit about game time.

Think how much easier it would have been to get rid of N'Zogbia, Ireland etc' if we had been relegated

Money talks, loyalty walks, just ask Delph!

cant blame them

I suppose we have something to thank relegation for if it is the laxative that shifts all our shit. Easier to rebuild when you can move unwanted players on.

Richards must be poison, I thought he would be easy to move on but has proved one of the hardest to fid a home for.

According to The Sun, Aston Villa's move for Hull City striker Abel Hernandez fell apart as he wanted £70,000-a-week in wages, rising to £100,000-a-week if the club won promotion to the Premier League.

He can jog on then. Part of the mess Hull find themselves in currently!

Adebayor is signing for Fulham apparently.
