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

[Mister E]

new link is niclas eliasson from bristol city.

24 year old swedish winger. last year of contract.

has all the hallmarks of a johan lange signing.

Lansbury, Jota, Hogan, Nyland, Kalinic ... common Brizzle, you know at least two of these guys will do you fine!!

Has James Rodriguez ever done anything other than that one cracking goal in the World Cup, over 6 years ago?

He's made us fundamentally rethink how we pronounce 'James'.

I think the Goodness Gracious Me sketch 'Going For An English' made us fundamentally rethink how we pronounce 'James'

John Percy just tweeted that Diangana is off to albion.

Jesus. If we let Benrahma go for £20 million to West Ham and then buy a bloke from the Bristol City bench then I am really not sure what the plan is. The defence of the sluggish summer is all well and good, but if the owners really want to move us on, then 2-3 big signings to help keep the likes of Jack and McGinn are needed. Trolloping about after a guy from the bench of Brizzle is about as inspiring as Mark Kinsella and Ovyind Leonhardson.

Aye,  Kodj was part of the first Villa team I actually started enjoying to watch again (ish) for what felt like years.

Actually looking forward to home matches again.

I know Bruce takes pelters for plenty of things (a lot of it deserved). But he gave us that at least.

Di Matteo signed him 🤔

The Bristol sub is surely a joke link.

[Chris_Jephcott]

I’d just offer Brentford £50 million for both Benrahma and Watkins. Don’t care about the split on it...

I genuinely believe these are two players who would significantly advance us forwards.

If West Ham get Benrahma, he’ll be this Summer’s Maupay.

I agree - it doesn't have the hype of the De La Cruz signing about it

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Twittersphere claiming we’ve agreed £24 million for Watkins.

It is Twitter, so it’s probably not correct. But worth mentioning just in case.

I am not an ITK but someone i trust has said ollie watkins deal is done. skybet 1-5 on

[aev]

Rashica still to move clubs.

[Chris_Jephcott]

That’s what I’m led to believe too.

Now Benrahma please!

The Brizzle guy looks like an attempted moneyball/sabremetrics signing, in that his stats are very good considering he doesn't play very much, and he looks like he could be undervalued.  Hopefully it's bollocks though, as we tried the "can't get into a Championship team" bargain approach with Jota and that Baston bloke, and they are/were crap.

Can live with that. Maupay had a half decent season but he didn't rip it up to the degree that I feel he's one we rue not signing.

I do not get the fannying about with Benrahma. Hes quality, pay the money and get him in.

Exactly what I think too. Just pay the bloody money, we have it...
