Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[JUAN PABLO]

I would  prefer Wendy James than Dan James , for the older posters on here.

She hasn't aged well tbh.

Sally it is then.

On most forums it's interesting to see how fast in takes any discussion to trend towards Hitler.

On H&V, it's how fast it takes any thread to reach people lusting after Sally James

Let's call it the Tiswas Law rather than Godwin's Law

[Mister E]

Sally it is then.

She certainly has a couple of points in her favour.

[Steve67]

Is the window open until August 31st this season?  I wonder if McNeill is first option, Bailey second, Alvarez third and James a distant loan potential if none of the first choices come off? 

Still no DCM links. 

I’m hoping Bailey is first option, he looks fantastic and would complement our current forwards beautifully

I agree but I wonder whether Dean saying that Brit players adapt better might just nudge the Burnley lad forward.  I hope we do get Bailey though.

This is a strange one

Aston Villa target move for €10m-rated PSG playmaker

Spanish outlet Fichajes claim that the Villains have now set their sights on Rafinha, a player that Paris Saint-Germain are looking to offload after the marquee signings of Gianluigi Donnarumma, Sergio Ramos, Georginio Wijnaldum and Achraf Hakimi this summer.[/i]

Aston Villa: After failing to sign Emile Smith Rowe, the villains are targeting Rafinha to reinforce their attack. Dean Smith's team wants to continue strengthening their attack

At €10m, it's a bargain but his wages would be high.

Do we need him I would be looking for another forward LW/RW and centre half and a DM before another box to box.

But he could make a great No 10

So it's a yes from me

Rafinha...a different one to the chap at Leeds or was he only on-loan there?

Speaking of Leeds, I'm really surprised they let Alioski go/or he didn't sign a new deal. I thought the whole squad were jointly in love with Bielsa and never wanted to leave.

[Moonraker]

Thierry Small, the Everton left-back who wants to join us (not sure if its gone through yet) is Bryan Smalls nephew. Has great reviews. Seems we are continuing to hoover up the best young talent

[Steve67]

Rafinha is 28, does that rule him out? I guess if the price is cheap we have nothing to lose.

Rafinha, brother of Liverpool's Thiago, scored no goals last season ... strange, for an attacking midfielder.

Dipherent one.

[ozzjim]

Very clever. Wish it was the one at Leeds, he's brilliant.

The one at PSG seems talented, but pretty injury prone.

[OCD]

Which means we can write it off as we tend to only go for players who don't tend to miss many games these days.

[Chris_Jephcott]

Watching Stoke. Wesley just got straight Redded… I think we do need someone like Abraham.

[OCD]

Or Alvarez if he can play anywhere along the front positions.

[Chris_Jephcott]

Alvarez and Bailey.

That would do it for me.
