Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[Small Rodent]

I’m in agreement too.

I’d rather have JWP (Nakamba deputising) as the anchor and McGinn/Luiz/Sanson advanced.

[ASHTONVILLA]

That's almost how I'd like to see us play at times. 2 from Watkins, Traore, AEG or Bailey as wide strikers and Grealish or Buendia as a 10/false 9. Could drop the other one of those 2 into the midfield 3.

Call me old fashioned but I prefer to see players in their best positions.

           Watkins

Bailey       ?        Buendia

Think McGinn is capable of that role, as is Traore. Obviously be best if it was Jack.

[OCD]

Buendia has been playing the number 10 role pre-season and Bailey has been bought in to play on the right.

I think we'll go for Demsgaard if Jack leaves.

[Monty]

McGinn and Traoré are very good in their positions, in McGinn's case definitely top 6, but relying on them at 10 is pure bottom-halfery.

More twitter stuff about Liverpool stepping on the Bailey deal. I preferred the days when there was just a clubcall telephone line.

[cdbearsfan]

If it's true, and we lose Grealish too, I'll be fairly pissed off.

[PaulWinch again]

If it's true, and we lose Grealish too, I'll be fairly pissed off.

Yes I would be too

[eamonn]

Especially if we then end-up with Tuanzebe and Abraham.

[Monty]

Especially if we then end-up with Tuanzebe and Abraham.

To be fair, we'd be perfectly set for promotion.

[Footy-Vill]

Darren Randolph for a back up squad goalie selection.
David Luiz defender /midfielder
JWP midfielder
Cantwell Midfielder
Abraham Striker

Ok update that to Axel Tuanxabe  for Midfielder/Defender!

[Rory]

If it's true, and we lose Grealish too, I'll be fairly pissed off.

I will just hate Liverpool and Man City more than I already do. No biggie.

May explain our very recent interest in the Danish winger.

It looks like lots of people putting 2 and 2 together. There were some tweets hinting at villa/liverpool news lots of people who probably think Bailey is too good for 'little' villa created a story from nothing and then the news turned out to be a rumour that we'd made a bid for Curtis Jones.

Moving on I'm not sure about that link but it fits a pattern of us looking at young English players who have recently broken through. If that is the case I hope we're willing to look slightly further away and try for Madueke, looks like he's available for £20m and I think he'd be similar to Alvarez in that he covers right across the front. Probably a bit early for him to start regularly for a team wanting to challenge for the top 6 but the versatility means he'd be a great options to fill in.

[OCD]

Think we would need to move Traore on before we looked at any more left footed right wingers.

[ozzjim]

If Jack goes, Damsgaard on the left would be a really good signing.
