Summer transfer madness thread

I think we may he overreacting somewhat. Loads of Villa players end up at Small Heath or Smethwick when they are in decline.

True, but this is Gareth Barry going to Albion who are in a league above us.

The decline bit seems to alarming remain with us

Where's this Wilshire story come from?

Where's this Wilshire story come from?

Is there a rumour that he's fit?

[Clark W Griswold]

Nooooooooooooo, don't do it. Fucking Wilshite.

They're still only Albion.

He's certainly not shite. He may have the typical England player overrated factor, but he still played regularly for one of the best teams in Europe and even last year was a virtual ever-present for the team that finished ninth in the league above us.

If he stayed fit, he'd be the best midfielder in the division. I recognise that's a big "if", but it's a gamble I'd take seeing as our midfield is just so... boring. He's out of contract at the end of the year and so would be desperate to prove his fitness.

You're right, it's a massive "if".
The guy is injury prone and the older he gets his recovery time takes longer.

According to Gregg Evans, John Cross at their sister paper,  the Mirror.

Blimey, Wilshire's shite?

He'll look like Messi in our midfield.

[paul_e]

a 6th central midfielder in 8 months, that's a sure sign of a manager who's lost the plot completely.

[four fornicholl]

Usain Bolt having a trial with Burton, and you thought we were bonkers 

[Clark W Griswold]

OK, he's massively overrated and for a couple of reasons would be a shite signing for us. Don't want the twat. As pointed out, not the type of player we need anyway, another central midfielder that likes to tap it around without actually doing anything productive. And that's if he stays fit. And, did i mention, he's a twat. We've had too many of them recently.

[London Villan]

On loan while Jack gets fit, then a fight for the place.

[Steve67]

I cannot believe with the fucking mundane dribble that we serve up every week and yet people think Wilshere is crap! Seriously, come on!!!!

[The Man With A Stick]

If Barry's idea of fun is strolling around a half-finished Subbuteo ground half-filled with triple-chinned halfwits singing daft hymns, he's more than welcome to it.
