Summer transfer madness thread

[ASHTONVILLA]

Looking at potential free transfers, we could consider

Junior Hoillett (Cardiff) - looked great at Blackburn before he left for QPR. Played pretty good for Warnock last season.

Peter Whittingham (Cardiff)- Well proven at this level, and would add width and good dead ball delivery.

John Ruddy (Norwich)- Better than Bunn, Steer, and better than spunking £5m on Johnstone.

Joseph Mulumbu (Norwich) - Was excellent at WBA, injured a lot at Norwich but just what we need in midfield.

Danny Guthrie (Blackburn) - Decent player with pace and energy.

Stephen Warnock (Wigan) - Yeah I know, but better than Amavi and Cissokho as back up to Taylor and can play defensive midfield as well.

I wouldn't want any of those, other than possibly Ruddy.

Alternating midfielder with Jedinak perhaps? I expect a lot more from Hourihane/Lansbury this season.

They are very capable of delivering a great deal more based on general opinion, both of the professional and spectator variety.

All championship tat. How about we go for some of the players released from the Premier League instead.

What a depressing list!

Ruddy is worth having, but that is about it.

[Matt C]

Warnock?! Jesus wept.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

Warnock?! Jesus wept.

Whittingham? Jesus sobbed

[Des Little]

That list needs burning. Quickly

[mr underhill]

I haven't seen a funnier list of freebies since  the Election

[brian green]

We must be the new Leeds if anybody other than Ruddy on that list was given serious consideration.

[eamonn]

Come on, Pete Whitts is quality at this level. He probably still loves us too.

[ASHTONVILLA]

List is only Championship freebies (from the list in the Evening Mail), so not huge quality on offer. Not suggesting Villa buy all of them, but one or two of them to help round out the squad wouldn't harm.

Hoilett was decent, not sure his attitude is great though

[trevor fisher]

In my local in Stafford last night I spoke to a bunch of Stoke supporters who rated Glenn Whelan. Thought that at 33 he still had the ability to drop down a division and do a good job esp for us in defensive midfield, whether that is the priority is another matter. For what it is worth, they spoke well of him

[ASHTONVILLA]

From the Premier league free agents we could think about these

Willy Caballero - Unlikely, but would be a definite upgrade.

Mathieu Flamini - Should be more than good enough in the championship

Charlie Adam - Good player. Little slow and we need pace and energy, but would definitely add a little quality and nous.

George Boyd - Been linked already, and has played for Bruce before. Not exciting but a solid player to compete with Adoma.

Arouna Kone - Think he would bully defences at this level.

Lucas Leiva - Bit fanciful but would be a great signing.

Joe Ledley - Just what we need.
