Summer transfer madness thread

His bad injury was back in 2014. The 5 goals in 2 years doesn't include the year he was out as he was back playing in August 2015.

Yeah but he only played 12 games that season.

Which doesn't make spending £12m on him any better value.

He was highly rated till his injuries, he's still young, and £12m these days for a player seems cheap.

Aston Villa are close to landing Hull right back Ahmed Elmohamady in a £3m switch.

I hope that is lazy journalism rather than lazy managment by
Bruce.  Terry, Whelan and this fellow, how bloody depressing.

And 30 year old Joe Ledley apparently!

Feck my old boots!!!

[PeterWithesShin]

Being highly rated in 2013/14 and being worth £12m in 2017 are very different things. And that was my point, that a player that has done nothing for 3 years is probably going to be sold for £12m and few bat an eyelid shows how ridiculous things have become.

I'm not sure where he would fit in the system we used last season though.  I could see him and Whelan as a holding pair with either two up front or Grealish / Lansbury as an attacking midfielder in front of them.  Where that would leave Bjarnason and Hourihane though is another question.

Let's have a fantastically creative midfield of Jedinak, Gardner, Whelan and Ledley.

Never mind the creativity, we'll run through them with pace

Stick four giant centre halves behind that midfield & play the 'Pulis'

Go and get that big lump off Leeds up front while we're at it.

We will have the pacey attacking wing backs though.

According to the Sun we've won the race for Terry's signature.

[cheltenhamlion]

We need to sign a winger this summer as a priority. The lad at Palace who they signed from Wolves would be just fine. I think Ledley on a free, couple of million on a centre back and a lump up front in the Kevin Davies mould will also come in. I am presuming Johnstone resigns otherwise we need a goalie as well.

How does one go about returning a season ticket?

I think we are more than covered on the right wing now.
