Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[Steve67]

Anybody know anything about Dwight McNeil (21) at Burnley?

He's a useful player, lacks a bit of pace but has a nice left foot.  £15 million will just about buy his left leg though, BBC gossip from whatever Football Insider is.  Fits our purchasing criteria as he's at the right age and should only get better.

I think he would be very good for us

[Dave P]

He seems similar to El Ghazi in style but probably a better crosser but less goals.

[ChicagoLion]

I think you have to be a very special footballer to get away with a lack of pace.
McNeil isn’t.

[brontebilly]

He did play very well against us earlier in the season. Tends to be a key criteria for us signing players going back for years

[Footy-Vill]

The window will open for 12 weeks starting Wednesday June 9 and closes  Tuesday 11pm August 31

Nailed it.

How many times. Burnley players are not Galacticos! Fucking BOO!

[N'ZMAV]

How many times. Burnley players are not Galacticos! Fucking BOO!

neither were players from Bournemouth, Brentford, Nottingham Forest, Hibernian etc....

[cdbearsfan]

Yes, and they're fine for the team. Now to add to them we need galacticos. It's the natural next stage in our evolution. I want a "WOW" signing. No fucking about. Someone to influence Villa the same way Gullit did Chelsea.

[N'ZMAV]

Yes, and they're fine for the team. Now to add to them we need galacticos.

Who you suggesting?

[cdbearsfan]

Messi.

[N'ZMAV]

Messi.

More chance of Starmer getting in at number 10.

[N'ZMAV]

I didn't think you'd have a realistic suggestion.

[paul_e]

A galactico is a stretch but getting someone that makes people wonder how we got him and makes players think about how ambitious we must be to have done it is important this window. The easy way to get top 4 level players is to be in the top 4, without that advantage they won't be so easy to pickup but we should still try. Someone with 50+ caps and a bunch of champions league appearances who can come in and make people really pay attention to us.
