Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

One of the many lows of the last 10 years was Ireland winning PoTY.  Him coming as a replacement for Grealish would probably set the gold standard for lows.

Ireland FFS. Get a grip. Things are shit - but not that shit.

It would seriously test my resolve to travel week in, week out.

Stoke looking to sign Afobe Gayle and Ibe - would be a real force with people like that in their squad.

[Toronto Villa]

I imagine similar things were being said about us by other clubs fans when we were spending money like it grew on trees in Aston. Doesn't just come together like that.

[OzVilla]

If we signed Stephen Ireland I think I’d consider taking a season off.  It’d mean very little as obviously I don’t go to games but re-signing one of the major piss takers that got us into this position would seriously be an issue.

Bruce wants Dan Burn of Wigan to add to centre back options.

Uninspiring but that’s the market we seem to be in. At least we seem to be in a market!

Wigan were a very good side last year.

exactly - why would he want to sail into the Villa shitstorm?

Stoke keeping most of their defence and midfield together aswell, likes of Pieters, Joe Allen and Shawcross all happy to stay.

They might not be much good at prem level anymore but will be more than good enough down here.

Stoke will be best of the relegated trio by some distance I think as Swansea and West Brom have inexperienced managers at this level.

Dan Burn was on loan at SHA albeit 5 years ago. Also at Fulham.

From what I've seen very good CB at league one level but struggled with the step up.

Depends if he's coming as a first choice or just cover.

So no young player is not going to want to come here at all?

I thought we had enough to get back right up but If the manager cant get his players up against the likes of Brentford, Bolton and QPR like we couldn't then it doesnt really matter who you have.

Clampy -would you commit right now knowing we could be in administration by next week?

Hutton just has.

Dan Burn is a carthorse.
