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

Sadly Ross the Dross is on the way - apparently.

Huh? Having a dig at him before he even signs. (if it even happens) how very Villa.

No need to get on your high horse mate

he hasn’t signed yet

There's nothing wrong with not wanting a player we're linked with, it happens all the time. The time to give them a chance even if you're not happy is when the transfer is definitely happening.

Mason Mount a shoe-in for Gareth's next squad. Fantastic, dominant performance so far from midfield...

[nigel]

All the soft, rich, mommy’s boys went there. The hard lads went to Aston and Camp Hill. Nobody gave a fuck about anyone who went to Five Ways.

I still don't even know where Five Ways is and I played cricket there.

Not far from Newman Uni.

Dele Alli is a super footballer and one whose talent has been blunted by Mourinho. He’s out of our league right now and he will command a move to a CL club.

Mourinho can be blamed for so many things but not that. Alli has been poor for 18 months now. In fact his form improved immediately after Mourinho took over. Didn't last though so something else is going on there that's affecting his form.

It's a no to Dele Alli for me, never warmed to him. Isn't there a school thought that he hasn't been the same player since Eriksen was left?

[eamonn]

Eriksen hasn't been the same player since he left.

Alli has lost his way, no doubt, but I'd have him here like a shot.

I like the look of that Cyprien fellow. Strong and quick feet. I'd have him or Rashica or both. I know different positions but they both look like quality to me.

High horse? Lol.
I hope he signs as I rate him but hey each to his own. But Ross the dross? No need really.

both and I'd be happy with the squad for the season, they're the 2 obvious gaps. AEG (if there's interest I'd let him go because he'll be 4th or 5th choice here), Jota, Lansbury, Kalinic and Nyland can all go out if we get them as well.

Everyone's entitled to have an opinion on a player, whether he's signing for Villa or not.  I've never been that impressed and I'm not going to change my mind purely because he's linked with us.

Disagree with that. Mourinho has been there just under 12 months. Ali has been bang average for at least 12 to 18 months before that

No one's asking you to.

Yeah I mean blimey I’m not sure we’re at a place where we can turn our noses up at the thought of Alli joining. He won’t anyway, but again blimey.
