Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

I suspect Smith rates Lansbury. If he can stay fit long enough, I think he'll be given a chance.

Breaking news Axel Tuanzebe back on loan?

Check out this video....start at 7: 36 minutes

I can't see it unless its a loan to buy and how many defenders do we need?

Utter madness. It’s got to the point that the price of the player no longer represents his worth with the exception of a few. I think for the most part our business has been really sensible. Especially if we can lock up Douglas, the Brazil U23 captain for what will appear a paltry fee of £15m and Engels for £7m. £22m versus the reported combined £55-£60m for Philipps and Webster. Leicester proved buying Kante, Mahrez and even Maguire that you can be really smart in the market. Not anymore I guess if this is true.

If it's true

It’s been reported in a few places so there might be something in it. Leicester fans don’t seem too thrilled

Haven’t they agreed £80m with Man Utd for Maguire? They can expect all their transfer fees to be inflated with that incoming, but it’s exactly these kind of mental deals that impact and distort the transfer fees across the board including players being over priced in the Championship.

Glad to see that they're just the same as us

Chester's 5'9

He is 5'11 according the the Villa Official stats.

I have met Chester before and we are similar on height. I am 6 feet tall.

[Lastfootstamper]

Can anyone that knows Chelts confirm that he's six-foot? I'm not saying he isn't, but I'm currently sat on a tram with a bloke who always said he was 5'11" on those temporary passports you used to be able to get until the woman in the post office pulled him up on it...

He is, and a very nice bloke too.

[Walmley_Villa]

Not transfer related but poor old Stevie Bruce has apparently resigned...I bet the Wednesday fans love him all the more now.

[mr underhill]

He's going to get roasted up there  - and at half the salary Wednesday were paying him. They're going mental on the Toon sites

He should buy The Bartons. I'm sure he almost loves there.

Almost loves? - as in "I really, really, really fancy you; but ..."

How does that work? You go from managing a Championship side to a Premier League side and you get a big pay cut? Football is truly bonkers at the moment.

Just shows he must have been on absolutely silly money at Wednesday. Mugs.

Apparently £1m a year at Newcastle. One sixth of what Rafa was getting. He gets a bonus for 17th.
