Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

I like Ben White, but Arsenal paying £50m feels steep?

Will Konsa be in that bracket after another season?

I need to be convinced he’s not there now if Ben White is.

He can't be far off for sure.

I have just read that Small Heath have signed Jordan Graham .Free transfer and another Villa reject Some things never  change  How long before we read he has always been a bluenose and hated being at Villa for 11 years

Doesn't matter now, it will be a very long time before they give us any trouble again

I just moved a house today that was 50/50 split Blues/Baggies....very hard to remain professional.

Top four is achievable, we were within touching distance last year before Grealish got injured, and keep adding more brilliant players. Our record against the top four with Grealish in the team was two wins (including a 7-2 twatting), a draw, and two defeats. Hardly anything to be frightened of. And the two defeats were only by bloody cheating

We need to get far better at getting some points if we're 1 down going into half time. Only 5 points all season from losing positions is pretty poor tbh when you think in the MON seasons we regularly came back from 1 down (can remember a game at Sunderland, we were losing, YOung got sent off and we still won 2-1).

Having a better bench will help but DS has to use it before 80th minute e.g. double sub on the hour or something and a striker who can come off the bench and score the odd goal would help aswell. Even Harewood could do that role for half a season so won't need to find anyone extraordinary to do that role.

60 points would be my target for next season, would give us a good shout for around 6th.

Ben White is quality, I think £50 is steep, but it's what I'd want for Konsa, so fair enough. Great signing for Arsenal in their position though, really strengthens them.

£50? Bargain!

Not saying there's anything in it, but Arsenal kicked back our ESR bid the same day they had a bid rejected for Ben White. We've increased our bid, and a couple of days later they've increased their one for White by the same amount ...

I dont think white is all that great to be honest.

2 in by this time next week I reckon. I think smith row will be one of them

Wrong thread.

Not many links to the missing DM. He’d be even more vital if we are hoping to play ESR, JG and EB in the same team.

You're right on both counts but I see that as a positive; the track-record this management team are establishing is one of doing all the hard work behind closed doors, executing the plans they come up with efficiently and silently then announcing when it's done. It's how we should know that everything in the media which doesn't fit with that model is complete and utter bullshit.

Everything I've seen so far about possible DM's has not come from the club so it's bullshit. But they know better than us what targets they are going for and I expect they have been working their plans assiduously. We'll hear when it's done.

With the latest rumours circulating I refer the Honourable Gentlemen to my post of the 28th of last month on this thread; it all appears to be occuring.
