Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

[dave.woodhall]

John McGinn from Hibs also set for talks according to Scottish Sun. Highly rated albeit in that league.

It's not a proper Villa team without a Scotsman.

The one who scored tonight will do for now I reckon.

Oops.

I'd quite like McGinn, but I am doubly-biased as I like Scottish players and wingers.

He's been mentioned before, but I thought he had been linked with a move to another club last week.

Smells of Celtic and think this villa link is to help get his move to them over the line.

A central midfielder is far from priority.

Bruce said we need a striker (looks like this  Nzmech man  city)) and confirmed more or less about talks for life of Bryan full back to show Tayls how's it's done.

Good to hear some links which are realisitic but not sure how credible McGuinn's thing is.

I'll have to look it up Skillzy, but I think the link was with an English club.

Ooh ah John McGinn, sayy ooh ah John McGinn.

John McGinn my lord.

He'll do.

I’d say that central midfield is definitely a priority. Yes, we have numbers but the quality is dubious and if we want players like Doyle-Hayes to progress, he needs to be playing alongside someone who offers surety and capability.
I sincerely hope that Lansbury and other deadweights are offloaded this window.

[Mister E]

We get Bryan and the striker from Citeh, and we land a central midfielder, we may have to live with a cobbled-together centreback situation, using a combination of Chester, Axel, Hutton, Bree, Elphick and Jedi; possibly Taylor and De Laet as well (although I’d prefer to see De Laet competing for RWB position).
Shit, we have enough players: the manager needs to find the most effective combination!

McGinn seems like he's got a lot of talent and could be a bit of a steal at the price. If we could get him, Bryan, the keeper and Nmecha in before the deadline we will be looking better.

Get Gardner, Lansbury, McCormack off the books too it would be a miracle.

Oh and keep Jack.

You live in cloud cuckoo land, next thing you’ll want is a couple of billionaires to rescue the club and lead us to European glory........UTV

[garyshawsknee]

A young Man City forward was supposedly sitting with our big wigs last night. Lukas Nmecha is the lads name.

[garyshawsknee]

Apologises, seems I'm behind the times yet again !!

[Matt Collins]

I assume McGinn would come in if grealish goes

Bruce's tactics are primarily to get it wide and cross it, which has significant limitations. Jack gives us creativity in the middle but without him we look very short of creativity. O'Hare isn't ready from what I've seen and Lansbury has been disappointing. Hourihane doesn't offer that either

Far more difficult. I want someone to take Richards away.

McGinn could be the tonic in our midfield. But I have just tanqueray about how we're paying for him?

[cdbearsfan]

The Grealish money, I assume. I doubt we will have McGinn and Grealish in our side, it'll most likely be one or the other.
