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

Who’s this Traore fella we are being linked to.  Nixon reckons it’s ‘live’.

One of Chelsea's perennial loanees.

Was good for Vitesse, then Ajax, then Lyon. Fast winger. Done well everywhere he's played.

Dion Dublin thinks Grealish will still leave this window

The only windows Dion knows anything about are on Homes under the hammer.

Its a bit of a stretch but we'll allow it.

Tbf, Dion actually said he think he'd go if the bid of 70million came in, as we'd be mad not to take it. Not like he said Jack's off for peanuts.

Buendia not in the Naaarrrich squad today ....
... just sayin'.

[Shrek]

Thinking about it, I see zero chance of Jack leaving this late, no way our owners would let him leave without replacing him, just like Brentford did with us.

And also I just can’t see united paying 80m for Jack.

Serving a ban I think ... or more accurately read somewhere.

Jack, I know that you’ll be reading this forum so, a bit of advice to you.
You have, at last and well overdue been included in the England squad. You’re best bet is to remain at the Villa as you’ll still be the first name on the team sheet whereas at Manure you will just be part of the squad. Bear in mind that another Villa captain went to Man City to enhance his career and then also lost his England place as, he was just treated as a squad player there. In addition, Villa are now moving forward with the new signings and so, looking to move up the table quite quickly. The pieces are now all falling into place and, I think, Villa will be top 6 within the next 2 seasons. You know it makes sense Jack!!

If we got Traore and Rashica to go with Watkins I would be over the moon. Our biggest weakness was the ability to break at pace. All 3 are rapid. Transforms us, gives us options and would also be good with Wesley when he comes back.

A bloody good number 8 too would be dreamland.

Where would Jack play?

[ozzjim]

On the left, the rest can fight it out. The difference being, Jack would have players around him that when he creates space, they can exploit it.

[Chris_Jephcott]

I see rumours that we’ve made a 2nd bid for Traoré of up to £20 million.

Where does Jack fit into all of this???

[ozzjim]

Surely it is about options. At home you can play Jack at 8 and have a mobile front 3. Away he plays left and you rotate around that. You can also change games and shape much more easily.

AEG may well go though you would think.

I'm starting to worry that he doesn't.

We're building the type of side he needs to play in to be the first name on the England teamsheet. Showing what happens when you provide quality support around him.
