Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

Just out of curiosity how are our nose and dog head cousins doing this morning? It has to be suicide watch over there down at the sty

Dunno but is there trouble at the dingles? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48944011?ns_campaign=bbc_match_of_the_day&ns_source=facebook&ns_mchannel=social&ns_linkname=sport

The chairman is taking over the role himself 'temporarily'. That usually ends well doesn't it?

[Toronto Villa]

Haha they've not signed anyone and now members of their board are leaving. They'll be clinging to "The Vile are doing a Fulham or none of these players would be get into our starting XI" more than ever as the panic sets in.

Went to get a drink, have we signed anyone else yet?

Think they were waiting till you got back.

I wonder if their Chinese owners are struggling with the capital flight issue which seems to have buggered all of the other Chinese owners that bought clubs a few years back?

That would be a shame.

It doesn't look like it. I'm disgusted.

Where has our ambition gone?

If they get fucked over by their owners on the cusp of world dominance it would one of those laugh so hard your balls fall off moments. What we now need is Mendes bolting. That’s when we will know the wheels have come off.

My parents have just called round to pick my youngest daughter up to stay at theirs for the night. Even my mother, who is in her eighties commented "Villa are signing a lot of players aren't they"?

I doubt it. They're just about to buy Thomas Cook Travel for £750m.

Given their impending world domination of football it does make sense for them to have a preferred travel agent for all the games they will be playing abroad while their ground is redeveloped to hold 650,000. 

There won’t be organised professional football soon the way they are going; just a string of blockbuster friendlies where they tour their brand of exhilarating football across the world....

The'll be the first side to play floodlight football on the moon.

Putting a bet on them going down next season, must be the closest thing to printing money.

I don't think they will go down but I do think other teams will have sussed them out and they will suffer from second season syndrome to some extent. I don't think they will finish as high as last year.

[Toronto Villa]

This is a pretty good and balanced assessment on things so far from Sky if you haven’t watched it

Yeah i'm getting carried away, but it's gonna be interesting division again next season, mid table for Albion and relegation battle for the other lot.
