Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

Iron fist inside a velvet glove

Lots of Villa transfer rumours/ITK claims (take your pick) on Twitter from @AcuraSportsNews.

Anyone know if their track record is good or crap?

This from 4 hours ago suggests the fee is agreed for Phillips from Dirty Leeds.

#AVFC have agreed a fee for Kalvin Phillips, it is thought to be under the £30m valuation that Leeds wanted, Thoughts #AVFC and #LUFC fans?

Based on their number of followers, I'd suggest they're more likely to be a teenaged fantasist rather than a tot track to the ITK truth.

In fairness it appears he/they called it on Targett about an hour before it was announced judging by Twitter times. May just have been dumb luck mind.

And our announcement an hour later https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1145640690342195201

According to the usually reliable AV Agent on twitter “Negotiations for Webster have progressed earlier today. #avfc fee haggled down to 20m + addons.” A lot of cash if that’s true.

Deano isn't the Oracle, it's alright to cast doubt over Targett. You'll have gregnash and Cooper's Injury back to label you a happy clapper if you're not careful.
I wonder what Suso's list of Targets was.

Is there an English version of this available?

Former posters on this forum, BV, late and unlamented. If you thought Stuart445 was obstreporous or obtuse these two were on another level entirely. Count yourself lucky that you are a more recent member and never had to scroll through their turgid bollockspeak.

TBF the Gnasher was at least humerous in his miseryarsedness. Coops was a bit of a twunt though.

He’s got a job doing the barcodes twitter account by the look of it.

My sources have confirmed that Phillips has checked into the Bristol Street Ibis. Unfortunately, The Campanile and Fort Dunlop Travelodge was full.

Christ, another player off the back of one decent season at a lower grade and we're doing a ManYoo getting their pants pulled down for Obi Wan Bissaka.

I can't get my head around how nobody bigger than Bristol City were in for him last summer.

We're probably paying £10 million over the odds because we've been promoted.  Joe Bryan was allowed to go for around £6/7 million last year.  The same with Philips at Leeds.

A lot of Twatter chatter about Phillips. And Leeds fans asking if we've even played in the Champions League.

Have they ever played in the Premier League?

I heard a stat that SHA have spent more seasons in the top flight than dirty Leeds. Not checked it out...

They’ve spent 50 seasons in the top flight. Blues have spent 57, and we’ve spent 105.

[PeterWithesShin]

They have, 57/50. They've also spent more in both div 2 and 3 as well which is a mildly interesting stat.

It would be worth signing Phillips just to piss their fans off.
