Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

[AsTallAsLions]

Speculating is one thing. Saying we are desperate just because of a random link is another.

I think you'll find they're the same thing mate, but carry on.

Less positive news today about Milot Rashica signing from Bremen:

"Milot Rashica would like to take the next step in his career. Werder Bremen wouldn't stand in his way, as long as the price is right. The Kosovar already decided that he wanted to move to RB Leipzig, but the Champions League semi-finalist isn't prepared to pay the €25 million transfer fee stipulated by Werder.

Aston Villa is allegedly prepared to stump up the required money, but the forward won't go along with this. Although he finds the idea of a move to the Premier League very interesting, it would not be to a club that, like Werder, only just managed to stay up last season. The Kosovo international would like to be able to shine on the international stage with his club."

They really are not. I'd say one was a massive over-reaction.

Yeah. Alan Nixon tweeted something yesterday that we were going to be disappointed in general. Although it was in reply to a Villa fan having a pop at him.

Just to give some measure of the sheer amount of utter bollocks talked about our transfers in the last few weeks, we have been 'linked with';

Strikers         Midfielder/wingers         Backs         Keepers

Iheanacho         McCarthy         Luyindama         Reina
Callum Robinson      Cantwell         Duffy            Hart
Watkins         Benrahma         Cash         Butland      
Sturridge         Harry Wilson         Ghoulam            
Edouard         Eze            Rico Henry
Origi            Milot Rashica         Hickey
Buendia         Campana         Aarons
Obafemi         Ryan Fraser         Reguilon
            Sarr
            Jeff Hendrick
            Rodwell
            Batshuayi
            Swift
            Guendouzi

I'm sure I missed some. They know nothing, nothing at all.

Everyone has setbacks with targets, let's hope plan b isn't from the Belgian league again.

[mr underhill]

Denmark will be this year's Belgium

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

I’m sure a massive increase in his wages might give him food for thought.

[Hookeysmith]

But then do we want someone whose only reason for joining is bigger wages?
I don't expect bullshit about loving the club etc but would prefer that the player is swayed by the club's vision and future plans.

When do they return for training?

[mr underhill]

weren't we always just stalking bull in the Rashica thing?

Let’s not forget Tammy wasn’t keen on joining us (reported) and nearly left us In January to play premier league football. Rashica is quite right to see what offers are on the table. We are not exactly a big draw yet.
