Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

[Toronto Villa]

After the nonsense with Bryan good that nobody has started a dedicated thread for these two players until the shirt is being stretched.

Since Unsworth I'm surprised we even start a thread until they've played!

[Hookeysmith]

does sound like El Ghazi could be a signing very soon

Just watched his best 10 goals clip....very impressive ball control and shooting power. Tony Morley like ! Stats look decent too.... will be great pitch unveiling’s for these 2 tonight if get sorted.
Gutted I’m missing it.... kids bought me and the wife tickets to see the Drifters in SWANSEA tonight for our 30th wedding anniversary 😩😳

I watched that as a well but if im honest is he any better in a montage as Hogan was?  Its not the ability it is how we play to their strengths that means they perform

Yes you’re right about that

if we get bolaise and this dutch player , our squad is massive and no excuse not to finish top 3 , its just a little embarrassing with all these players we really still need a LB desperate and a CB and more right  backs than than a bald mans regain conference .    I cant see how the likes of Lansbury , Tish and Bree can stay in the squad and even a whelan , Jedi or Thor one must go .

ps I see the dutch guy has played striker , maybe a fit hogan, davis , RHM and Kodja might be enough ..


Bruce will have no excuse .

[exiled on the wirral!]

Medical bloke says he doesn't need a medical. I assume that's because we're not buying him so he's still insured by Everton.

Well, let's hope he's still got some of that lightening pace, as we need it.

yep, looking at him he's not just a speed merchant but cruciate knee injury.....just hope he hasn't lost a few yards in pace.

Yes but can he play right back?

Superb stuff

Agree about the balance issue and Bruce hasn't excuse with the squad.

Gk and left back ,centre back could be concern but address the dynamic forward play is very good .

I actually feel whelan could be a key component this season.

Lansbury Tishbola are two that probably won't be needed, Tishbola for sure and who knows with Bree and RDL
Though Bree could get involved in full back role left or right.

I disagree on Whelan, he slows the play down far too much to be a playmaker and that's the only role his legs are cut out for.

[eamonn]

Whelan, play-maker?

[JUAN PABLO]

whats happens to Green to with another two wingers , supporting Kodja up front?

[Tuscans]

They don't play...not doing a lot to justify starting that's for sure.

[RussellC]

ESPN are now reporting that we're close to signing Abraham on loan too...

Tbh I wasn't so familiar with unsworth but read about Joey Barton's comments:
He’s a glorified PE teacher. He’s an academy coach who shouldn’t be managing a men’s team,”

“I watched him waddling on to the coach. How can you get players to exert themselves physically when you’re out of shape?

“I used to watch him as an Evertonian and he was the most immobile left-back I’ve ever seen. He’s not a manager and doesn’t look like one.

“Unsworth makes Alan Brazil look like an athlete. I used to call him Chipper Unsworth because he used to chip it and lose it every time.


So maybe it was good he never was at Villa !

[Hookeysmith]

well he did say we would be busy

Whelan in this water carrier role is how I see him . Doing the midfield work and allowing the expressive players well to express themselves
