Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[Ian.]

Look at Buendia's defensive stats. Not only will he be great going forward and creating chances but he will also work hard when he doesn't have the ball.

I think that was definitely one of the things the club wanted to improve in that 10 position because Barkley did next to f*ck all tracking back/ball winning. Made us much easier to counter attack. In fact, Barkley did next to f*ck all full stop.

I don't think I saw him break into a sprint once.

Replace sprint with trot for accuracy.

Just a thought, at least with Jack gone the owners don’t have to listen to his advice on signings as this one didn’t quite work out did it.

I honestly think Buendia will step up and close that gap on Grealish. I’m not saying he’ll be as good, but I don’t think he’ll be a million miles off.

Yes, there is that. Although I think our owners may have stopped short at Ed Sheeran.

[Jon Crofts]

James Ward Prowse evens or better to sign soon.

Source/sauce/sores?

[DrGonzo]

Sky Bet.

[Hookeysmith]

I'm no expert on formations and tactics but surely someone with the assists, two footed creativity as Buendia would play the 10 / central hole position.

Put him behind Watkins   Ings   Bailey and thats enough to scare the shit out of most defences. Press, pace, power, goals

Factor in Wes / Treore / a.nother and that is a great back up.

I think this once they gel will be exciting stuff

[VILLA MOLE]

James Ward Prowse evens or better to sign soon.

doesn’t that just  mean they have slot of bets on this

[OCD]

Question is, have the odds on JWP moving dropped dramatically in a short space of time? I think when Ings signed he was something like 33-1 at the weekend and by Wednesday was odds on.

With Buendia, when I've seen highlights of him, a lot of the time he comes off the line and moves into the centre naturally. He should be fine as a 10.

I always thought that Barkley was a signing meant solely to appease Grealish being as how they are supposedly good mates.  I have no reason other than my gut feeling on this but if there was any truth in it I found it disconcerting.  I have faith in the owners that this wasn't the case but I couldn't help but think it.

James Ward Prowse evens or better to sign soon.

He's been 1/2 on with Skybet for a few days, now 8/13.

Rumours of a 3rd bid going in.

[cdbearsfan]

£25,000,006.

Doesn't seem like he has a "knock" either. Reckon £45m would do it and I'd pay it if I were the Villa. Him and another midfielder and top 6 charge is on.

[LeeB]

I reckon they've said if we guess the right number we can have him, but they won't tell if we're higher or lower. And we get one chance per day. By fax.
