Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

[Gareth]

I'm not denying that we've had a decent window, just pointing out the irony of deadline day.

Whilst you can sign a player, as Man City have done with Douglas, it doesn’t mean you can play them unless they are nailed on, regular internationals.  The immigration agency doesn’t work around deadline day or make exceptions.

We witnessed the same process with Wesley and the fact that no other clubs have been publicly linked with these players is encouraging. I think both are done bar the red tape.

Well, encouraging in one sense anyway. I have been quietly wondering why no clubs have rivalled us for any of the 8 we've brought in so far. Bit strange but perhaps just a reflection of the window.

Anyway yes, agree with others, no need to get carried away because things have slowed down. Still fairly confident we'll get our business done.

None of us know that there haven’t been rivals - the fact is Mings aside all our deals have only hit the press when they are as good as done or done entirely.

Newcastle finally spunked their wad, £40m on a striker who scored 7 goals in the Bundesliga last season. Wes don't seem so dear.

And a Goalkeeper.  Get those in and we can't ask for more from a summer transfer window.

Aston Villa sign Egyptian winger from Turkish club
The move from Turkish club Kasimpasa to Villa Park is subject to a work visa and international clearance

Just wanted to post a link from the London economic......yes they cover football

I want 4 or 5 more signings Jack Butland, Douglas Luiz, Neal Maupay and Said Benrahma then Jesus Garcia Pitarch can rest

[Clark W Griswold]

I think we'd probably be OK with just Douglas or equivalent coming in now, but to push a little further on i'd say a GK and another forward of some sort. I think much more at that point and you're looking at overkill, the guys we've got need to be given chances.
