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

Fee agreed for Yanited's number 2 Sergio Romero according to some outlets.

If true, at 8m, a steal and a very strong move

Wonder what kind of wages he’d be on?

I've wanted Wilson all summer. Canny is a good word. Jack will love his runs, ditto Watkins. Both make a lot of sense with the way we set up post lock down. Just a winger of quality to get then. Benrahma for me, but Buendia would not surprise me.

[Big Ming]

Too much to hope we are signing Edourdo under cover of press speculation about the others?

A he coming to the end of his contract ? Why is he so “cheap”?

Reckon he has to be on about 70k up there.

Am I the only one who thinks Wilson but be a canny bit of business?  We need a 'fox int he box' type striker so why not get one who is an England International? At the level we are at, I'd be more than happy. 

If we do have £100m for transfers this summer, I'm glad it's going on 4-5 upgrades than a whole new squad like last summer (and I know that was needs must).

Nope. I'd be very happy if we signed him. Seems we're in the minority though.

I’d definitely want him here, I’d be very happy with Wilson especially if we get Watkins too.

[KevinGage]

£20 million in isolation is not terrible business for Wilson.  But it makes up a hefty chunk of what could go towards an even more prolific forward with less miles on the clock.

So it's a no for me.

Looked like a West Ham or Newcastle deal all over and it's one I wouldn't have envied. In contrast, if either of that lot picked up Abraham, Eduoard or Watkins say I would be miffed.

I think Wilson would be a good signing, provided another forward comes in as well.

This made me laugh.

I’m sure you would probably agree that might need to wait until someone actually signs 😉 Keep the faith 😂👍

£100k according to The Athletic.

And hopefully nothing to do with Jack.

[PaulWinch again]

Don’t get the Romero thing really.

Aston Villa are hoping to sign Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson after opening talks in a deal worth around £20m.

Given his injury problems, thats an insane price. A respectable 1 in 3 scoring record for Bournemouth in the top division but that dropped off quite a way last season. That's worrying especially given the number of serious injuries he has had. Would prefer Josh King to be honest as he can play in a few positions.

So, that begs the question, were Bournemouth relegated because Wilson didn't score or because they didn't create the chances for him to score...

I think if you look at the goals conceded by the sides involved in that relegation battle, our main issue was that for most of the season we couldn't defend. The only thing Newcastle, Brighton & Palace had over us was not conceding as many.

Regarding Wilson, I agree with brontebilly about Josh King as he's always seemed to offer a bit more to the team and is a good penalty taker but equally I wouldn't be upset with signing Wilson. If we're going to progress towards mid table he'd be a decent signing if he can add around 10 goals which seems to be around his average in the Premier League.

[N'ZMAV]

He's not a bad keeper to be fair. Better than Nyland. But I don't really want us paying £100k a week for him.
