Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[cdbearsfan]

Fucking BOOOOO. So you can reject offers for players with loads of contract left, then?

[ozzjim]

I would hope we have a backup option for Ward Prowse. Southampton should tell us to do one.

[Chris Smith]

Athletic saying Ward-Prowse is unlikely.

With the number of free kicks we win about to take a nosedive he’s less of a priority.

May as well sack that new set-pieces coach we've just recruited, too.

[VinnieChase84]

I am worried the impact this will have on keeping our best players.

This is isolation won’t. What will is if we stop progressing. That would have applied if Jack was here too. Recruit well and push on

[Monty]

I mean surely we can think of better ways to spend this money than an overpriced nostalgia-act centre forward who gives us cover but nothing new, and the second best playmaker at a club from whom we've just signed their best? Norwich's second best attacking midfielder is really our idea of replacing our talisman who just left for 100m?

I've loved our recruitment so far, so I seriously hope we're more imaginative than this.

On JWP, I suppose a Villa without Grealish probably don't look a lot different from other mid-table clubs like Everton or Southampton.

The problem is individual players are putting their own personal goals above the club and contract.

But maybe we will score more with better progressive dribblers like Bailey and Buendia actually moving the ball or shooting. Plus both will win fouls

I don’t mind Cantwell but I do know what you mean.

I think we need to really crack the midfield - 2 from Luiz,Nakamba, Sanson and McGinn I think is fine for mid table but if we are looking to progress I think that needs some improvement.

[TaxDodger]

Looks like Tuanzebe on loan is happening.

I actually think it's a logical signing. Decent back up in multiple positions. Probably better than Kourtney Hause. Not entirely sure how the move benefits him though - if he's going out on loan you'd assume it would be somewhere to play every week.

For sure. We need another proper midfielder, another playmaker and a backup striker.

And I don't mind Cantwell either. You just need better than 'don't mind' if you're serious about progressing.

Talk Norwich want £40m for him. Looks like the JG tax is kicking in.

[frank black]

Are we going to spend all the Grealish money, or have we spent some of it already?

[cdbearsfan]

So Southampton have more bottle than us? Poxy, pointless, Southampton?
