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

[passport1]

Haven't  been on here for a while .Just reading through its all a bit depressing. Oh well...

[frank black]

Callum Wilson to Newcastle and I feel somewhat relieved. I’m not sure a player of his age with ACL operations on both Knees Is the answer. I imagine whoever were after may well happen this week.

[Smoke]

Anybody thought that maybe Wilson wasn't going to be guaranteed 1st choice striker here?

Maybe Bruce going 2 up top?

Also I wouldn't be surprised to see he signs a 5 year deal at Newcastle which I doubt we were likely to offer.

[PaulWinch again]

We need to seriously get a move on.

Me too, felt like a panic buy which I thought we had moved away fron

Wilson would have been alright, but I dont think anybody is too arsed and its unlikely he was plan A.

Reckon Spurs rumour is Brentford playing the game back with Watkins.

Let’s hope he wasn’t plan B or...

Has anything been learnt from last years near cluster fuck of a season, mainly brought on by shite recruitment and a manager way out of his depth?

Yes, we've learned that a lot of players still don't want to come here, and that it's not a great idea to pay more than the going rate, even though we have a manager that's overachieved.

Well that’s that dealt with then.

I’m of the mindset that haggling for weeks instead of just paying it and getting the player in is foolish and could cost us. Benrhama and Watkins would already be Villa players if it wasn’t for doing that last season. Maybe if we had them as opposed to the players we got in instead, then we would’ve been more comfortable last season.

After the West Ham game, I really thought we would be cracking on and showing signs of intent to keep Jack at the club more than anything. So far, it’s been very underwhelming and actually pathetic. There are so many crap teams in this league that we could easily be leap frogging with mild ambitous and clever recruitment. At the moment, I have to question Purslow more than anyone and if are owners really do want to compete.

I hope I will be eating my words in a few weeks bit don’t think I will be.

If that was true then it doesn’t really fill me with any great confidence.

If Wilson was a panic buy, what comes next!

This reminds me of situations where we have to be somewhere on time and my wife is getting increasingly, toe-tappingly annoyed, to exasperated, to full Scouse angry because I'm taking my (deliberate) sweet time. Kind of a bit like now with the Villa transfers and Max's rugby at half 10.

I appreciate Dean and the gang aren't just a perenial middle child ball breaker. But you know, the anstier everybody gets, the more I like it.

The best way to avoid a panic buy is to not get in a panic after not buying anyone.

I hope we sign Watkins tomorrow and put that one too bed. Surely we’re after another as well as Smith’s interview the other week seemed to be very clear we would have options in attack this season.

Ideally I’d like a really decent option in the middle of midfield, I’d prioritise that just as much as another forward or winger. Times certainly ticking, but still have faith we’ll sort it soon.

I'm the youngest child and I'm not arsed because someone will eventually sign someone on my behalf anyway.

The Watkins and Benrhama thing is interesting. Bearing in mind they were two of the stand out players in the championship last season, you'd have thought they would have been snapped up by now. It's most likely not only us who would possibly be interested so why haven't they moved?
