Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

Isn't he injured?

Discussing us on transfer centre now on sky sports, we have spent £144.5 million on 12 players so far, and sources say there is 2 more still to come.

Also stated any club that has ever been promoted who has spent over £50 million on new players has always survived.....with 1 exception Fulham.

Well we have spent triple that magical £50 million survival figure so far.

I think someone posted earlier that the rumoured budget this window was £200m.
If that is the case a record breaking striker would certainly be within our budget.

Maupay will be signed next week. With Green seemingly going, a great move as he needs a full year that level, we need cover. That said if RHM is retained he has loads of talent and has shown he can be a role player if/when needed

Andrea Boletti doing the rumour rounds on twitter. Fits the 5'11' Aguero-like brief.

In regards to how many players we've brought in, one of the Villa facebook pages made this graphic of the in's and outs over the summer, which makes an interesting view of the business we've done

Ta for that.  I must admit I'd lost track, and I'm still not certain exactly who plays what role.

I like how Richards and Gardner don’t have a corresponding ‘in’ because their contribution was zero.

Yes please.

If he does anything like as well as he done in Serie A he'd be amazing.

I'd wonder though whether he's one of those who is amazing for one club but just doesn't fit in right at anyone other than Torino.

Wikipedia already has him listed as a Villa player
He is one ugly mother ****** but who cares as long as he is putting the ball in the net -how much would he cost?

If nothing else he'd be used to scoring in a claret Kappa kit.

He has a €100M release clause apparently.  He's contracted until 2021.

Wet Spam were linked a few weeks ago, but would not meet Torino’s £45m price (apparently)

[cdbearsfan]

Just throw in Hogan to sweeten the deal. £55 million, it is.

Yeah having the ins and outs in a list is rather helpful to keep track of what's gone on over the summer so far!

Imagine we get Benhrama and another striker of quality before the end of the window. Wes and Nas have stepped up big time this summer.
