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

[TelfordVilla]

No chance of either Luiz or Grealish leaving. No one will offer them 1st team football. Why would either of them want to sit on the bench

[Skerra]

For their own sakes, I hope Doug and Jack stay at Villa. If they depart for Manchester, I’d take a good cushion with them as they’ll be sitting on the bench half of the time. Better to be top players at Villa than also rans elsewhere.

[PaulWinch again]

I want them to stay, and hope they do, but they are good enough not to be also rans. I’m sure they’ll have that belief too.

On the evidence of both Manchester clubs limping out of their respective European competitions in the past week both of our lads would be well capable of playing for either of them.

I think if Manchester City have ambition of winning the Champions League then Luiz isn't going to help them much.
He's a good player - but not likely to improve their first team a great deal.

[Gareth]

Both Jack & Douglas would get plenty of game time at either Manchester club Imho but hopefully the nervousness of clubs to spend and the quick turnaround to playing again will keep them both here.....the worry would be if either club got any bad injuries in first 3 weeks of season that changes transfer strategy

I assume you mean at this time? Because he’s 20 and he’s going to be a superstar.

He's 22 and he will be top-class.
Is he the answer to Citeh's problems? - probably not.
Would he fit in there? - undoubtedly on the pitch.

I can’t see Luiz playing ahead of Rodri, Herrera or Fernandinho and Jack is unlikely to get ahead of Fernandes, or one of the front three at the moment. Jack will be looking to the Euro squad next year so will need regular starts. Getting 20 minutes every other game won’t get him a squad place above Foden or Mount.

Well, that’s my blinkered view ... and I’m sticking to it!!!

in a few years he could be a top player, just not yet.

Herrera left to join PSG last year.

[TelfordVilla]

2 from Norwich, 2 from Brentford and 1 from Celtic please. Goodbye Taylor and lansbury and Kalinic and samara and Davies (on loan) job done.

[WilliamStanding]

Curtis Davies left us yonks ago.

Ah. That’ll teach me to keep my Citeh knowledge up to date ... Apologies

Didn’t Herrera play for United rather than Citeh?
