Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

Heaton, Engels, Douglas, Phillips, Trezeguet, Maupay and the Brentford winger and I’ll be happy.

Greedy?

nah Revoke A50 and all those would be greedy

Terms of the deal are a bit of a niggler but my biggest wish for the summer was a marquee signing of genuine class at DM and he seems to be it.

Hmm, is that fair to say though? I doubt if any of us (barring one or two avid La Liga watchers maybe) have ever seen him play.

It’s only a few short clips from one match but blimey, he looks like exactly what we need.

Did he say Man City paid €30m for him?

I'd like Mauro Icardi from Inter. Make it happen Villa.

Guillem Balagué reckons he could potentially be one of the best midfielders in Europe

I like him, but with him and John Terry around would any of our players feel safe allowing their wives anywhere near Villa Park?

most interesting season i can ever remember coming up and I’ve been watching the Villa for near on 50 years

I'd heard of him in a "one of the best young players in Brazil" way but never seen him.  Looking about he's been presented as the sort of player that was going to bounce around at the likes of Man City, Barca, etc. If this one happens it's a massive signing. Watching the footage on youtube (which wil lclearly be highlights) he seems to, like Jack, have all the time in the world to decide what to do next. I've said a few times but for me that's the best sign of a truly special player.

Interesting times.

This spending spree shows how important were the appointment of Smith and the Play off win .Statutes of a Cabbage and Whelan's penalty miss should be erected.

God bless Glenn Whelan. That is all.

It's a risk I'm willing to take!

Engels fee agreed according to talksport.

[Smirker]

Yep just heard. How much have we spent now assuming these deals go through? £120m?
