Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

He’s definitely damaged but didn’t he have a concussion? Not sure how much that affected him but it might have.

Must have had concussion for two years then.

He's absolute mince.

I thought they got him from Mainz.

He is too vain to be a good keeper that Karius. Keepers need to be big and ugly and get in there where it hurts. Karius looks like he is off to the salon for a cut and blow dry.

I still wouldn't be against giving Steer number one spot up to xmas. Guy has been here 5 years and played well in cup games and also for Huddersfield in his loan a few seasons ago.

Guess though if the plan has changed to be in the mix for top 6 spot the club will go for more proven option.

Yep, I think he needs to be given a chance as the number one.

Barry Douglas bidding to leeds
Matty Waghorn bidding to derby

2 very good players at this level and would have liked villa to gave bid for them !

[mr underhill]

no better Skillz than anyone we already have

[RussellC]

Barry Douglas would be a massive upgrade on Neil Taylor - or anyone else who may be under consideration to play in that position -  IMO!

[mr underhill]

possibly but e didn't look great when I saw him at VP - and £8m for Waghorn is  barmy

[paul_e]

Douglas might have been a tiny upgrade on Taylor but not worth spending £5m on in my opinion.

[mr underhill]

So the Stoke splurge fest goes on with Ince arriving for an initial £10m. They're doing a Villa 2016/17.

And the Wolves have gone full on mental and agreed the buy out clause for Adama for £18m from Boro - I bet they think its Christmas

I would imagine we have some sell on clause involvement that may help

We'll get £3m-£4m...

He’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Maybe a decent coach will get the best of him but the impression I get is that his brain doesn’t work anything like as quickly as his feet.

There's a comedy sketch in there.

Picture him leaving somewhere on foot, getting into a cab (bus/train/plane) and saying 'Bye'

[AsTallAsLions]

Adamahahahaha.

[PeterWithesShin]

I don't get the stick Adama gets, he's no more erratic than Tony 'Back of the Holte' Daley was at that age. But they are the type of players I love watching because when they get it right they are unstoppable. You just have to accept that they'll get it wrong a lot of the time.

[aj2k77]

Daley was much better than Traore.
