Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[villadelph]

Maybe our goalie could entice Messi who isn’t settled at his current club ?

Messi is a free agent

shitty city on the twitty.. fans saying they should've waited to sign the rat to see if messi became available.

HILARIOUSSS!

Cantwell fits all the criteria we have set for ourselves as a potential signing for the club.

His style of play would also seem to fit.

Except, maybe, being good enough. That's what I'm wondering.

He has the talent and has performed at PL level before. I remember him as their standout player last time they were up.

I just hope fans give him a chance if we do sign him because there will always be comparisons to some bloke who used to play for us.

In some alternative reality…

Losing Grealish for £100 million and signing Messi on a free.

I would probably lose control of all my bodily functions with laughter.

There is £250k a week knocking around we were going to give ratboy

I’m sure he would out perform Thor.

Matheus Pereira has thrown his career away for cash.  Moved to Al Hilal, Saudi Arabia.  What a waste.

Were there other options on the table apart from "play for West Brom in the second division"?

[Dave]

Watkins wasn't worth what we paid, based on his career to that point. I wouldn't sell him double that now. Feel like Cantwell will be similar, will surprise people how easily he fits in, and the fee will never be mentioned again after a few months.

It might just be rationalising to cope with the Grealish stuff, but I bet that any non-Villa fan would basically have taken the positon of a 23 year Grealish "why is a guy who has scored fourteen goals across three seasons in the Championship worth more than a few million quid?"

Obviously we knew he was worth a bomb even with those sorts of numbers, maybe Norwich fans know something about Cantwell that we don't.

Saudi sounds quite attractive when put like that.

I just went to a Norwich forum to have a dabble on what they thought about Cantwell.

In there first 10 threads they have two 2 dedicated to us, fucking hell.

[PeterWithe]

I reckon all the signings so far were lined up pre Jack going, Id like to think we are beyond going for Cantwell as an emergeny fill for that space.

Surely the lad from River Plate is no more of a gamble?

[cdbearsfan]

Messi not signing a new deal with Barcelona. Mon Villa, make it happen.

Think he's another speed merchant whereas we are probably looking for another sorcerer.

Stalker alert, proper weirdos.

Beat me to it. Mind you, with our owners' ability to surprise everyone, who knows???
