Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[Goldie.7]

Sebastien Haller anyone? 13 goals and 7 assists in 23 appearances for Ajax.

Don’t think his stats while at WHU would encourage premier league suitors.

Really? I honestly don't know how I could have made that meme more obvious. *Facepalm*

I listened to an interview with Leon Bailey last night and he’s certainly looking to move clubs. The interview was ahead of the game with the US, and speaking about his time in Germany he’s ready for the next challenge. So something is definitely happening behind the scenes. Let’s hope it is to us.

Daily Star (I know) linking us with Anthony Martial at Man Utd today. But according to them he is being priced out of a move as they want £50m for him.

If we could get him for a more sensible fee, think he might be a decent signing but can't see it happening.

meanwhile, still persistent rumours of Will Hughes

Not quite the sexy signing we want, I guess. His stats are very good and he does a lot of dirty work that goes unrewarded and unseen. Smacks a bit of, well, boring. But I don’t suppose we can be pulling in the massive names just yet.

Agreed. Absolutely rubbish.

Bloody hope so.

I'm so bored, just found myself imagining a side consisting of people who have either owned us or being linked with owning us in the last 15 years.

[Duncan Shaw]

Not strictly Villa related but sort of...any see this snippet on the Beeb Gossip this morning - I recall someone on here saying if he couldn't turn it around to make it here he'd end up at Newcastle.....

Newcastle United may turn to Chelsea and England midfielder Ross Barkley, 27, if they fail to sign his compatriot Joe Willock, 21, from Arsenal. (The Athletic - subscription required)

What about Jesse Lingard? Doesn't look as if WHU are able to find the pounds notes to buy him. Can play out wide or through the middle or behind the main striker.

[Matt C]

Surely the most inevitable of all predictable transfers is for Barkley to wind up at Newcastle.

Happier if he went to WHU

Solksjaer has said Lingard is a part of his plans, which probably explains why it's not been simple for West Ham.

Lingard looked superb at West Ham.  But I'd be slightly uncomfortable paying £30m+ for a player who looked like a busted flush half a season ago.  I think I'd want to see if he can carry on that form before getting involved.  Also, I'd struggle to get on with the tongue sticky out thing.  Want to punch him in the face every time I see it.
