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

[VILLA MOLE]

Wes , like most players will be better in a better team 🤔

Some kosovan journalist has said Rashica isnt coming and will go to Leeds or Southampton

He's shit anyway then.

Said like a true Villa fan

Agree, but having spent 55 million on two strikers, I feel it’ll be a case of waiting and seeing how Wes comes back, before we act, as opposed to spending preemptively.
A utility forward who adds depth to the wingers might be a good compromise.

What? like King, you mean?

Not seen much of King to be honest, but my impression was that he’s primarily a striker who occasionally drifts wider. Would he start ahead of Trez on the wing, and then fill in for Ollie when required?

We potentially already have that player in Traore, mind.

VT (they that shall not be mentioned) have got Rashica 'on' again.

Zzzz!

I can't stand to read that site for more than 30 seconds these days.  Every other post is either a 'hilarious' gif, or a link to a tweet.  Terrible, it's worse to read than the Brum Clickbait site.

Read a rumour that Spurs Sessignon maybe heading for Hoffenheim on loan. Always felt that would be a good player for us

King is capable of playing across the front three. Decent player but the fact Man United made a bid for him last Jan says more about their decline than how good he is. Traore is meant to be capable of playing centrally so I expect he is plan b if Watkins isn't firing.

Especially as he came through their ranks!

Sky Sports Germany is saying that Villa's discussions with Milot Rashica are in an advanced state.

There are still a few details to be sorted, they claim, but a deal is 'very likely' to be done before the deadline.

Fuck me, we've been in advanced talks for around a month now.

Is Sky Sports Germany any more reliable that Sky Sports here?

Someone's buying Deano another present.

Something he's wanted for ages.

[jwarry]

Bonus if they can pull this one off!

To be fair if Sky were reporting something with that tone here, I'd take it pretty much at face value. They stir up a lot of bollocks with the rumours stuff, but actually happening transfers aren't something the really fuck around on. No idea if the German edition is similar or better or worse, but lets hope for the best.

Could Luke Shaw be the answer to our left back problems?

[Toronto Villa]

If we get this done it will some fucking boost. Tomorrow might be a bit fun
