Summer transfer madness thread

[PaulTheVillan]

Why haven't we signed anyone yet?

[PaulTheVillan]

Still can't believe​ Barcodes got £30m last summer for Sissoko, he's mince. Funded their promotion pretty much. The only ropey equivalent we might be able to fleece someone for appears to be Amavi.

Amavi is shocking. Really hope we can fool someone into thinking he's worth £20m+

[ASHTONVILLA]

Amavi really is a terrible player, and is well behind Taylor in the pecking order now. I would rather see Cissokho in the team as back up as at least he can defend. Amavi is a liability in defence and manages to contribute zero going forwards despite flashes of skill every now and then.

TBH I would not value him above £2m, and think the club will be very lucky to get £5m for him given how poorly he has performed for us. £20m seems fanciful, but I would be delighted if we got it. I just hope he goes.

I vote that ASHTONVILLA takes no part in the selling process of Amavi!

Yeah well if I were Wyness I would be trying for as much as possible, but lets face it how much would you want Villa to pay for him if we were buying him from Leeds for instance?

Like I say, I hope we get top dollar but just can't see it.

Ditto Veretout and Gil who I think we might manage £5m between them. The clubs interested in them are skint and will want a low fee to cover them picking up what will be quite high wages (to them).

With this in mind I am not sure £5m for Man Uniteds fourth choice goalkeeper is good value. I keep looking at teams that finished in the play offs,  and they spent peanuts and had better teams.

We seem to have pieces from 3 different jigsaws, and are trying to make a picture out of them. That's what happens when you have too many changes in managers I guess. I just hope the 2-3 that come in help the players we have look more cohesive.

Not as much as the figures being mooted, sure.

But then based on what he did for us I wouldn't have wanted us to spend the £6m Middleborough gave us for Gestede on him, or the £5m that Burnley gave us for Westwood.

lets hope we can get Dick Turpin to do the negociations on our behalf then.

I also vote that he has no say in the selection of a left back next season. Cissokho is a total liability and should never - ever - see the inside of the home-team dressing room at VP again.

I don't think it is going to happen for Amavi with us, so would definitely cash in if there are any buyers.  I don't know if Bree or De Laet  have covered on that side before (Bacuna has and did OK), so not sure if we would need to buy another back up option for Taylor.

I only asked because I thought I'd seen a photo of him stretching the shirt.
Must have been a fake photo
