Summer transfer madness thread

8 years ago today Delph officially signed for us. Irrelevant but showed up on my "on this day" on Facebook so thought i'd mention it.

Just had a look at this Ryan Kent kid. Bloody hell, he looks exactly what we need. Hogan will love him.

Of the 2 being linked last night, Kent was the one I was hoping to see signed today, Onomah looks a decent prospect but Kent sits full backs on their arses. If we can get him in too we are all set.

Kent + a target man for me and we're good to go.

Really don't want to see Gabby involved up front, he could play all 46 games and he'd be nowhere near double figures for goals.

think it means bye-bye for Gardner?

Well he'll be no loss.

If we are playing 1 up though, Hogan is actually decent in that role, and Kent/ Green/ Elmo from wide with a 10 behind him could see him really shine. Just a winger for me.

Agree, Kent is what we need

I didn't see anything from Hogan last season for us when he was up front alone, he just looked isolated, frustrated and lacking service.

Hopefully the fact we've bolstered the supply line (Elmo, Onomah and even Whelan from deeper) will mean he gets the service to be effective.

Agreed on all fronts. Two more signings in the positions mentioned and I'll stop whinging.

For a bit.

Agreed. Kent could be the difference between automatic promotion and play-offs. The kid has the skills of a Brazilian and the speed of a sprinter.

That Nixon chap thinks we are not in the race particularly for Kent which would be a shame.  Need a winger still.

What about Lyden....will he go out on loan to return as Onomah returns to Spurs?

Different type of midfielder if the descriptions of Onomah are true.  Lyden would be more like cover for Whelan.

I'm not sure Nixon gets too much right when it comes to inside knowledge of the Villa.

[Matt Collins]

Yeah he was adamant Hutton to swfc was done

I hope he's wrong. I thought he only specialised in Blackburn ITK?
