Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

Gaz Baz

We need cover at LB. I know he might be headed to Leicester from some reports but I’d happily bring back Bertrand on a free to back up Matty.

[Percy McCarthy]

You love to see it… I called for JWP weeks ago on here! Dean’s obviously listening in! Our goals for column has just gone up +10 with added free kick goals if this comes off! 😉
Tammy next please!

The balls are tingling again...

We’re getting to the point now where very good players we are linked with may be looking at Grealish, Watkins, Buendia etc and thinking ‘I’d love to go there’.

[eamonn]

Can we swoop for Danny Ings while we're at it?

A N Other
Cash Konsa Mings Targett
Ward Prowse   Chukwuemeka Grealish
Bidace Watkins Barry

Plain silly.First pick one of the Ramseys for CM ,Grealish in Bidace's position and have the confidence to play Steer who has rarely let us down.

A quick look at a Saints forum and they're much nicer than Norwich. They generally don't think they'll sell JWP to us, but they're not dicks about it.

Everyone is pretty convinced that Jack is off though,and I'll say it again - the owners must realise that the message selling Jack would send would be absolutely terrible. If we mean business, then we can't play against Jack Grealish in the Premier League.

[Risso]

Hmmm, Grealish’s comments about nobody being able to take a free kick at Villa now look knowingly brilliant! Good work agents Martinez and Grealish!

[IFWaters]

Hey Jude, dont be so sad
You played for a sad club, you can do better
Remember to let us into your heart
Then you can start, to play for Villa

Villa Villa Villa Villa

Na na na nah na na na nah Hey Jude

One of Smith's strengths is that he gives off the vibe it's a collaboration with him/ the coaching staff and the players.

His own playing record was nothing to shout about (in keeping with many other decent managers) so he knows he's probably not going to get much mileage out of wanking on about Dortmund or calling the players cxnts (as Lamberk often did according to Benteke and a few others).

It's quite possible that he'd speak to Grealish and the other senior players about what we need. Traditionally I'm not sure that would've been too common jn English football. But so long as the players don't take the piss, why not.

[Lastfootstamper]

I'd like to think it's not taken a hint from Grealish to enlighten our staff to the shiteness of our free kicks!

[KevinGage]

Aye. I'm sure Smudger isn't so dim that he hadn't noticed.

But if he's had informal chats about having a word with Prowse (or others) when Grealish and Mings are on international duty no harm.

That's what Gerrard and co did to our better players years back.

[saunders_heroes]

Didn’t Grealish mention that Villa didn’t have a decent set piece player just the other day? Maybe he was hinting at the Ward-Prowse signing??

More likely they press thought up an easy link.

[eamonn]

It's the Guardian, they don't usually do full stories on rumours. Paul Doyle, the writer, has interviewed Dean and Villa players pretty regularly in recent years so he's got some clout.

[OCD]

It's not Percy reporting it though.
