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

Tracing paper bog roll and carbolic soap? Luxury. I used to live in shoe box in middle of road.

A shoe box? You didn’t know you were born...

Baggies do want Samatta

Where did you hear this?

West Brom want to 'hijack' Aston Villa transfer - reports

West Brom are in the market for a new striker and Aston Villa's Mbwana Samatta has reportedly emerged as an option

That explains it.

Whether they’ve left it too late or not I don’t know. They have defo come in for him today

[ozzjim]

£10 million they can have him. We will probably sign another striker if we let him go, and probably one that's better than him is imagine, so with getting the money back and use it elsewhere.

I bet it was a Jeffery West shoe box as well.

BBC saying Delph is surplus to requirement at Everton. Grievances aside, could he do a job for us at left back?

Glad you suggested it. As you haven’t received the expected tsunami of pelters, I’m going to very timidly agree ( runs away and hides).
Presumably his wages would be too high but our Ashley did well converting into a left back at the unmentionables and perhaps Mr Snake could do a similar job extending his career too. Plus emergency cover for Dougie.
After all, we are really his first love 

As an aside I know people at Man City who tell me that Villa encouraged his move and not the snake he appeared.

This.

Loaning Vassilev out is a good move, I didnt see a single thing in him in his few cameo's that made me thing he could have a career at this level. Lots of effort though so hopefully he'll score a fair amount in Oeague 1 and we can get a fee for him.

Agreed. I've seen him plenty of times for the U23s etc and he flatters to deceive. A hard-worker and a trier (a la Weimann) but just not cut out for the top level. Only my opinion.

I wouldn’t write off players too young. Development is a funny thing and some can surprise.

I only saw him at Leicester but straight away thought as much, and I never thought Weimann would be more than he is, just ended up playing because everyone else at that time was shite.

I hope he proves me wrong, emphatically.

So do I.

I’ve mentioned on another thread about signing a new centre half to improve us there but also to keep Konsa getting games we could possibly use him as back up to Luiz. Thinking about it, if we sign a better centre back, we could also then use Mings as a back up left back for Targett. I do think another strong centre back gives us plenty of options rather than say committing to another left back as example.

Also, do we think the Vila fan at forest could still be an option? Can’t remember his name and I don’t know why he’s popped in to my head but he did look decent whenever I saw him.

As I said elsewhere I don't think he'll make it as a winger/striker but he could become a decent box-to-box midfielder if he gets some coaching, I can see him as a McGinn style terrier in there.

He's not a striker but is being played as one.

I thinkthey see him as a wide forward but, for me, he hasn't got the pace for that.

Potentially 3 forwards out in quick succession, leaving us with 2 and a bit.
There must be another one coming in, surely?
