Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Tony Erdington]

Don't know if it's been posted before but I think Keith Wyness deserves a lot of credit not only in doing the work to get the players in but especially in getting rid of certain individuals.

Dude,

quality, comment.

At some point this season we are going to whip someone 6-0 and I can't bloody wait.

I seem to remember us giving Plymouth that kind of hammering the last time we were in the second tier.

We're done, Tony says so on Twitter.

Well if anyone would know, it's Dr X.

Still think we are light in central midfield.

totally

we are sorted attacking wise but centrally in midfield we have tshibola, jedi, pointy and gardner

It's fair enough. The sort of overhaul we were trying this summer was never going to be fully completed. We've done well.

[Meanwood Villa]

Let's not get too back slapping until we've won some games and are near the top of the league. Lots of people were pleased with our business last summer and Lerner, Sherwood et al were getting the kind of praise Tony and RDM are now. This could still turn to shit. The scars from last year will take a long time to heal.

[Matt Collins]

Yes, I'm still wary of the Villa curse

A key difference this time though - proven quality at this level throughout the side now - with the exception of the keeper

I keep on doing so, but we shouldn't forget about Lyden.

Biggest spenders according to the BBC -

Us : £59m
Newcastle : £57m
Norwich : £10.5m

That's quite a jump from second to third.

No idea how they got those numbers. Assuming today was a swap, I think PWS's number yesterday was around £32.5m with ins and outs.

Add the fees received from Gana, Clark, Sinclair to PWS's net figure from yesterday and today's £7m approx for Adomah and you're pretty much at their figure.

I'm not sure how safe it is to assume that today was a swap either.

If I recall correctly, PWS's figures included sales, so even assuming we paid £7m today for Adomah and gave away Adama (which I seriously doubt), that's still only an additional £7m, still £20m short the BBC number.

They'll be time to take a closer look, right now I just want see us in another game.

That's the point - PWS's figures are net, the BBC are just going on fees paid.

So £3m for Elphick, £4m for Gollini, £7m for Chester, £4m for Jedinak, £12m for McCormack, £6m for Adomah, £5m for Tshibola, £11m for Kodjia and £6m for De Laet comes in at around £60m.

Given we were discussing mccormack's position this article may be of interest. I did wonder why he wasn't getting picked for a very average Scotland squad

I'm glad he isn't getting picked for Scotland. No chance of him getting injured. Want him fit and hungry for us.
