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

[Rudy Can't Fail]

It’s all gone a bit quiet .....

...almost...too quiet.

We rarely if ever do business on the day of a game.

No way should Nakamba be allowed to leave. Only backup for Doug, and actually played in the prem for a season.

According to Turkish newspaper Yeni Asir, as covered by Sporx, Galatasaray want to sign Aston Villa midfielder Marvelous Nakamba.

With two weeks to go not sure letting him go would be a good thing..........he gets 7 out of 10 for defending, and 2 out of 10 for passing

No way should we be letting Marv go.  He's not the greatest player but we can't replace our whole squad this window and he makes a valuable contribution.

He's also pally with Rashica from their time at Vitesse. 

Not enough on its own to keep him, admittedly. But I'd sooner have him coming on late in the game than Angela. It's one I'd look again at in Jan. If Barkley or whoever we end up signing slots right in and he's had little game time, then fair enough.

Moyesey is one of those people that smiling doesn't seem to suit.

When it was rumoured Zaha had a fling with his daughter my first thought was, I hope she looks like her mom!

[LeeB]

I've come to the conclusion after the Burton game that he is fucking gash, he looks like he has to put his heart and soul into making a five yard pass and even then it's a lottery as to if it will reach it's target.

He plays like he's had a feet transplant.

[oldhill_avfc]

Agreed - too error prone to play is supposed best position - reminds me in a round bout way of Tommy 'goal a game' Elphick

[LeeB]

They should both come with their own slapstick sound effects, at least we'd get a laugh.

[Sexual Ealing]

He seems a lovely lad but he's bad at his job.

[ozzjim]

Nakamba is ok. Hes not played much, so I am not expecting him to come in and set the world on fire. His job is to get a foot in, play a simple ball to a team mate, which he is ok at. Let him go we literally have no one that can do that, and are already light on numbers in midfield.

He's not even 'ok' at that from what I've seen.

[KevinGage]

When he first broke through last season he looked decent. Then had a wobble, then looked good again in the SF against Leicester.

Thinking about it, that was one weird game. Nyland, Targett, Nakamba and Samatta all played well.

But if Luiz gets an injury tonight, who would you play DM in the next game?  He's not great but as I said, we can't replace the whole squad this window.

[yammers]

Don't want loans where we just help Chelsea and pay for the privilege to do so. Fail to see what we gain from it.

A quality Premier League player that will help improve our final league position so we can attract even better players permanently the following season?

Fail to see the problem personally!

[Ger Regan]

I wouldn't get rid of nakamba this year, either.
