Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

Good shot of comparisons . Sorry not sure how to make bigger without clicking on it.....heaton is on the right !

Good shout on Whelan too. I'd have kept him for the first 6 months. He is better than at least 2 of the players we have kept so far.

But isn't that comparing Heaton in the Premiership against Butland in the Championship.

Sky Sports Villa page still has a headline saying we signed Ings and not Mings. Danny would be a decent replacement for Hogan but Saints have already fleeced us once... and they've just signed him permanently from Liverpool.

Talk of Hegazi for £5m.

Who knows how accurate that is.

Doesn't he play on the left, though. We already have that side covered.

Yep. The saves per game is the more important stat as our keeper will have more to do in the PL than Butland (or Steer or Kalinic or Nyland for that matter) had to do in an average Championship game.

For who mate - Heaton?

[mr underhill]

no idea it was just one of those enigmatic medical booked for 12 type of tings. If true I would have thought Heaton but who knows, maybe Phillips?

Leeds fans all thinking PHILLIPS on his way our as he wasn’t used in any video or press release pics of their new shirt release

There's one of their fans on Twitter - which has largely gone into meltdown about it - suggesting the staff in the club shop were advising people not to get his name printed on the shirts last night.  To be honest, I didn't really notice him much last season so not sure about it at all.

Tom Heaton was captain at Burnley so would bring more leadership skills to the team.

[Dr Butler]

my Burnley supporting mate rates Heaton highly and asked if we could take Hart instead as he is shite.

Phillips was outstanding every game I saw Leeds play last season including the one at Villa Park.

I'd love to have him in that defensive midfield role, Phillips/McGinn/Grealish as our midfield 3, thats very tasty.

It is. I worry there's not much cover for them though. We'd still be relying on the likes of Barny and Landsbury
