Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

[LowerNorthStand]

Alan Nixon - Villa have made new bid of £8 mill rising to £10 for Heaton.

For a 33 year old (even if a keeper) with one year left on his contract?

Hmmm.

It doesn't seem that excessive. It's not far off what we paid for Merson, and that was about a million years ago when prices were only massively ridiculous.

It might allow us to keep Steer and develop him through cup appearances to see if he is good enough to be long term incumbent.

And if not, fuck it, just spend another gazillion pound on some wunderkeeper in a few years time when Heaton is past his prime. It's not my money, don't care 😊

It’s chicken feed feed for our owners agreed!

Two season contract deal sorted. Quality keeper with a great record. Captain of Burnley so can lead.

Jed gets another Jedi master to learn from.

just Maupay to go then.

Just Maupay or Neymar and that's us done, I reckon.

The Telegraph thinks it’s a shrewd purchase.

33 for a keeper probably equates to 28 for an outfield player in terms of longgevity.

£8 million seems more than reasonable to me for Heaton.

Excellent news. Heaton ticks all the right boxes for at least the next season or two.

Burnley supporters are bemused at his departure and this can only be good news for us. To use their own words 'he is their club captain, a leader and glued their defence together'. In his absence they fear relegation.

Roughly 10 years ago the top clubs used to buy our best players (we finished 6th for three years in a row). It strengthened them and in the process kept us out of the top five. The more we can strengthen ourselves and in the process weaken the lesser teams in the Premier League, the better. For next season, it helps to take relegation out of the equation. Shrewd business.

or Neymar

I'd rather we resigned Agbonlahor than that twat.

Michelle Owen - looking at her bump on the telly the other night, I think that someone has beat you to her. She is very attractive though.

Wasn't she in a car with Kortney Hause about thirteen weeks ago?

Edit: I see Juan Pablo has already started the same gossip!
