Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

[Damo70]

Collins had a great first season with us, then was bang average and then piss poor. He has since repeated that cycle in his time at West Ham.

[Clark W Griswold]

After sleeping on it and giving the matter some careful thought this morning I've come to the conclusion that Collins is still wank!

[godzvilla]

Don´t worry, the   Huth is out there !

[Steve67]

There are plenty of clubs who would want to give Huth, a twice Premier League champion a gig, yet it hasn't happened.  Now that concerns me. He hasn't played in ages, that concerns me too.

Moment of terrible clarity. We’re actually discussing the merits of coaxing Collins or Huth here to save our season.

When the real question is why you would look at bringing in two players as bad as one you already own but loaned out with no replacement - incompetence

[mr underhill]

and it will be his and our downfall this season or not. Interesting times.

Because that’s the Championship?

Some bloke called Martin Cockshaw claims to be Huth’s agent and says he’s about to sign for Villa......on twitter.

Seems strange to announce it in advance if he really is his agent?

Especially when he has a comedy name.

Seems a mess this centre back situation, with sending Elphic out & trying to now replace him when it should have been done earlier.
I am just reflecting that the Club was going into administration under Zia & that would have then been impossible to make the desired changes then. The other Thorne in the clubs side is or was obviously
for FFP restraining our buying even if Zia could have produced the cash from China, the new ownership must have found a way to allow us some
movement in getting players in

[Clark W Griswold]

I wouldn't rely on the claims of anyone with the name 'cock-sure'.
I wouldn't mind Huth but would have preferred to keep Elphick than sign Collins.

[PaulWinch again]

I think the biggest question at the moment is why sign Axel if you intend to use him at a right back, given that you have 4 other right back options in the squad.

thats the championship

The problem with Huth is that he's barely played for 18 months, at his age a long break like that is hard to come back from so no one knows what he'll be like, that's why he hasn't got a club yet I suspect.
