Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[villa for life]

That’s a big presumption (first paragraph).

[Gareth]

Not sure it is though....two are out of contract and two have barely kicked a ball all season.  Guilbert might be back

[cdbearsfan]

I would be surprised if Hause leaves unless he's agitating for a move.

[brontebilly]

Presuming Elmo, Taylor, Engels, Hause & probably Guilbert all go in the summer who does everyone want to see come in defensively?

Of the youth Kessler looks a good prospect for right back & Chrisene at left back but he is very young so probs not for next year...not seen any of the centre halves look anywhere near ready ie Bogarde will probs go on loan.

I would presume this is Lange’s brief for this summer to find possibly 3 defenders from continent who will be ready to step in & be of sufficient quality if needed

Tuanzebe....provides cover at RB, RCB and opens up possibility of going to 3 at back

[Steve67]

Hause is a really useful backup squad member. No way should we be selling unless for ten mill.

[Monty]

Agree, Hause's best years are ahead of them and I believe they are Premier League years.

[Risso]

Agree, Hause's best years are ahead of them and I believe they are Premier League years.

Yep, he was really good when called into the team, and a bit unlucky not to keep his place I reckon. I also think he could be decent at left back, so he's exacly the sort of player we need to keep.

[algy]

Yep, keep Hause. Perfectly decent defender for where we are. If we have the chance to make him 4th choice we should take it, but there's an awful lot of players I'd get rid of before him.

Firstly, we don't need any more injury prone players. Secondly, he isn't going to swap the Man U bench for ours. Thirdly, three at the back is horrendous.

So, it's a no from me.

[Ian.]

Pretty well summed up cdbullyweefan!

[Smirker]

This summer:

- Top CB to challenge Mings and Konsa
- Winger who can cross
- Top CM to replace Barkley
- Quality goalscoring striker

Promote Barry, Carney and consider any offers for the likes of El Ghazi, Trez, Engels.

[olaftab]

Mr Lange needs to make a call and start negotiating to get Pereira signed double quick.

[Monty]

According to Steve Madeley, The Athletic's Albion guy, we are indeed keeping an eye on the Pereira situation - but we're not the only ones.

[mrfuse]

This might have already been mentioned but the other day on the BBC site it mentioned Spurs were looking at Caleb Chukwuemeka and I wondered if we had looked at him at all. It would seem logical that we would or should be interested.

[Mister E]

.. three at the back is horrendous.

Here we go again ...
The top teams seem to be able to transition between 4 at the back and 3 CB when required. Why not Villa? Klopp, Tuchel, Rodgers, Ancelotti and others are wrong?
