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

[LukeJames]

I genuinly cant see a single thing in Benrahma, granted I only really saw Brentford for the last few months of last season but I saw nothing in him at all.

[Skerra]

Shit, we are out of the champions league places. We desperately need to pick up some points from our remaining 38 games!!

[jwarry]

Can I be greedy and have Rashica and Traore please?

[OzVilla]

I think Jack knows we are building a team around him and, with the extra strength, why would he want to leave Villa?

It pains me to say it, but trophies?

Which is interesting because we came a lot closer to actually winning a trophy than Manchester United did last season.

I hope that Traore bloke turns out a lot better than the highlight reel on YouTube. Crikey he seems more of a typical Villa signing from abroad

[PeterWithe]

Always thought he looked lively, if not outstanding for Lyon.

If Benrahma is going for £20m we can’t have been in for him.  Some players do have a weird fondness that London place though I guess.

I thought that, got some great skills, gets past the defender and then puts an awful cross in or blasts it wide. I did give up watching after a few minutes so maybe it got better.

Traore shit, Cash roasted on his debut...maybe new signings generally are over-rated. Its the excitement and anticipation that kills...

[Clampy]

I do like how people think Jack is going to leave just because we might be signing a new winger.

[Chris_Jephcott]

Traoré sounds a bit like the other Traoré we signed a few years ago. Skill, pace, physical attributes but very raw. There is a quality player in there, but it’s up to us to develop him I think.

Not really a problem, a lot of people have mentioned his decision making - I’m sure that we have the coaching staff to help him.

I think it’s just Dion mate

[olaftab]

Traore is a Villa player already according to wiki so done deal then?

No the deal will be confirmed when his wife or gf follows us on Twitter. That's the rule nowadays.

[Big Ming]

I guess we are looking at a system using wide forwards.

When Wesley comes back, he will give us the option to revert to a target man if we want to?

It's only going to get worse, I reckon we could be six points adrift in a week's time, and being kept off the bottom by our GD. No thanks there to our so-called 'strikers', mind. Ffs, sort it out Villa!
