Summer transfer madness thread

Since Hutton is neither-footed I'm sure he can go and be equally inept at left back as he is on the right.

I don't agree that he will be equally inept at left back I think he will be completely useless.

[VILLA MOLE]

CLOSED 😉

[cdbearsfan]

Not closed in Scotland yet. Come forth ye zombies and sign McCormack.

[PeterWithe]

Small Heath sign Maxim Colin. No, me neither. Then again I haven't heard of most of our own signings these days.

[myf]

So we signed

Johnstone - Loan
Terry - 12 months
Samba - 12 months
Whelan - 2 years
Onomah - Loan
Elmohamady
Snodgrass - Loan

Everyone happy with that?

Don't like loans and we've managed 7 if them in a single window

Lifelong Blues fan. Was always Christophe Dugarry in the playground. Hates the Villa.

I hope Dean Smith has sold them a pup or three.

You just know the first bad game any of them have, that forum will be full of noses talking in all seriousness about reporting him to the FA.

Leave him alone, at least he tries.

BREAKING NEWS


We have loaned Sarkic to Wigan. Hopefully he gets to play a few games.

[PeterWithe]

And as sure as night follows day, all the talk of SHA buying world beaters to dominate football for the next decade actually turns into them doing the bulk of their shopping at the foot of division 2.

As a Mancunian songsmith is wont to say, stop me if you think that you've heard this one before.

[Steve67]

All in all, quite a disappointing window. Whelan is a good signing. Onomah too, but I really am not keen on loaning other clubs potential.  Still have Agbonlahor and Richards on the books.

[old man villa fan]

I think there was a clear edict that Bruce had to balance the books after his spending at Xmas.  He has failed to shift players and therefore this has limited his buying.  I do not have  a problem with that as we have been too easy in the past in letting managers buy without selling (other than our top players) and been left with fortunes being poured down the drain.

So we signed

Johnstone - Loan
Terry - 12 months
Samba - 12 months
Whelan - 2 years
Onomah - Loan
Elmohamady
Snodgrass - Loan

Everyone happy with that?

Onomoah looks a quality addition so far, Johnstone to my eyes seems a better keeper this term too.

The rest are lazy and expensive signings that only immediate promotion will justify.

Unable to flush the likes of Richards, Elphick and McCormack down the toilet. Our squad looks horribly unbalanced with only one left back and very weak options at centre half. So a very average summer's business in summary.

[PeterWithe]

Not at all unhappy with the incomings but very disappointed that we haven't moved more players on. I think we are top heavy by about 6/7 senior players.
