Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[paul_e]

Pereira only turned up for the last few weeks of the season, when it was too late. Prior to that he’d spent most of the season sulking, doing fuck all on the pitch and not always getting in the starting 11 of a shit Albion team. Sounds a bit like another CNZ.

He admittedly played very well against us at VP so lots of Villa fans now want to sign him. I’d much rather we looked elsewhere.

A little bit simplistic to suggest Villa fans only think he would be a good signing because he played well in one game against us.

I disagree, no one on here had suggested him as a possible signing before that game now his name comes up every few days.

Apart from two people on the same day this thread was started.

Ok I was wrong saying no one, a few people mentioned him as a 'might be an option' sort of signing.

That's not what's happening now though, his name now comes up regularly and lots of the comments (more on places like facebook and twitter) are about how we'll have made a huge mistake if we don't sign him. How he played against us is absolutely behind that shift and it's something Villa fans have done for years.

Ellis made it his strategy for a while to sign someone who played well against us in a game in the spring because it was a easy way to gets fans excited.

Norwich already planning for life back in the Championship.

Their Sporting Director has said that Buendia and Aarons are available for the right price.

I like Aarons, very good player. Not so sure about Buendia, bags of ability but he seemed a bit lightweight last time they were in the premier league and got bullied out of games the few times I watched them.

[ADVILLAFAN]

I really like Aarons, but we don't need a RB.

Linked with Manure and Barcelona anyway.

Didn't he also bag a hatrick against Chelsea and score a couple against Arsenal? I don't think the clamour for him is just off the back of one game against us. He's a talented player.

Lange needs to earn his coin. There just aren't a lot of players out there, that might be available, that are already the finished article. We need to spend big to improve as much as we'd like. Alternatively, be patient and buy younger players who have the potential to improve.

[cdbearsfan]

You can't really buy younger players from abroad, any more.

[JUAN PABLO]

Buendia looks good but knowing our luck we buy him and he turns into Jota.

He was pretty dent in the Championship the season before.  In terms of him only turning up un the last few weeks of the season, he won't be the first or last player to take a while to acclimatize to the PL.  Fact is he has 11 goals and 6 assists in a very poor team.  I've no idea what his attitudes like but the recruitment team certainly look at that.  On the face of it he looks like an excellent player to me.  Whether we think he's c £30m excellent is another matter.

My £260 million wish list:

Super amazing winger: £50 million
Super amazingly amazing winger: £150 million
Sexy and goaly striker: £50 million
Decent back up left back: £5 million
Promising youths: £4 million
Special chemicals that dye grass claret and blue as I think that would look pretty cool: £1 million.

Raphinha only cost Leeds £17m from Rennes last summer. They wouldn't sell him now for 3 times that price. Lovely player who has adapted very quickly to the PL.

Has Italian citizenship so was able to sign last summer, we wouldn't be able to sign a player like that now that we aren't in the EU in real terms anymore.

(Last summer we had left but the old rules still applied, they don't now).

We have loads of them already, plus Chucky coming through. With world class wingers pushing the opposition back and creating gaps for our midfield to maraude into they'll be better.

[sirlordbaltimore]

The absolute last thing we need this summer IMHO is more squad players.

No thanks.

We need 3 top class starters, for me CM, RW and another forward option. We are already well stocked with 'squad' players.

Starters need adding now, nothing else other than maybe snapping up a few youngsters who can go out on loan or even stay at their current clubs for another season

[OCD]

Is spending £50m/£100m/£150m a time really the be and end all? What if we were able to pick up the next Messi's/Ronaldo's/De Bruyne's with very little known about them at a young age?
