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

Gregg Evans:

Aston Villa are waiting to announce new young signings Ruben Shakpoke, Lamare Bogarde and Sil Swinkels.
Goalkeeper Emi Martinez is set to join from Arsenal, too, in a deal worth around £20m. Big business for Villa.

Not seen much of Martinez but £20m for a GK with 15 top flight apps over 8 years seems pretty steep?!

What fantastic names.

There is some raw work done at the font.

Sil Swinkels sounds like a Sopranos character.

[jwarry]

Martinez, Brewster, Rashica and a defensive midfielder and this will have been a fantastic window

[Des Little]

A loan move for Loftus Cheek would be a good option IMO

Sorry, are we signing the cast of a Saul Bellow novel?

[JUAN PABLO]

Rashica, Eduoard, Watkins as a front three.

Super John McGinn, Super Jack Grealish as a pair of 8s and Dougie sitting

Looks a bit tasty that.

football porn and throw in Martinez . wow

I shudder when I see that name on this forum.  It reminds me of Winston Bogarde of Chelsea fame...9 appearances over a 4 year period (2000 to 2004) and £60K a week. Okay, it's Chelsea who have laundered money to burn but even so that's eye watering given that it's 20 years ago.

It's his cousin, apparently.

The words coherent and plan are getting worryingly close to my mind .

Don't worry. There's still plenty of time for it all to go wrong.

Thanks for the reassurance Dave, I did not want others to share my suffering.

Presumably you've seen the same article I have - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8221425/Arsenal-ready-blow-rivals-water-bid-sign-Feyenoord-sensation-Lamare-Bogarde.html.

I had heard of the other 2 but Bogarde was a new name on me. He's got to make something of himself before he could do what his uncle did.
