Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[jwarry]

What we want and need now is:

Out:
AEG
Hourihane
Wes
Trezeguet
Davis

In:
McNeill
JWP
An ESR type as we clearly think there is a hole to fill
A big fuck off DM
A back up goalkeeper

So still plenty of work for Mr Lange to do before the 2nd September which is still over 3 weeks away

[London Villan]

Can't see us bringing in five more now. A keeper and a high-profile midfielder - if we are lucky!

I'd seriously think about keeping AEG around. We don't know how Bailey will do.

[cdbearsfan]

Keep AEG till winter, at least. Will take a while for Bailey to get going and Buendia and Traore have both had knocks lately. We need options on the bench as well as the team. We won't improve our squad if we desperately rush to ship people out every time we sign a new player.

Why is getting rid of El Ghazi and replacing him with someone who does a great deal less in McNeil something we need?

[Villan82]

Unlike many, many players at Villa Park down the years AEG is productive, happy to be here and has progressed with us. He's a good squad player.

[DrGonzo]

Selling injured players is also tricky, Trez will be hard to shift in the next couple of weeks. 

[Monty]

McNeil move wouldn't make sense for him, us or Burnley at this stage - we need a more obviously tempo-setting playmaker than another flyboy tricking around out wide.

[sickbeggar]

McNeil is silly money for what he is. If you want a winger and a player the average middle aged bloke in the stands can identify as "one of us"  then we should go all out for Fati at Barcelona. They're skint apparently.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Why is getting rid of El Ghazi and replacing him with someone who does a great deal less in McNeil something we need?

Is it even possible to do less than El Ghazi? Goals and pens aside his overall contribution is limited to 5 minutes per game before he disappears again. McNeil looks like a clumsy Jack Grealish, wrong size and shape to ever be a natural. Gets things done though but not what we're looking for.

I agree with RCF.

Not score all those goals that he scored?

[PaulWinch again]

I’m not really sure you dismiss AEG’s goals and pens. They’ve been really important. As a squad player he’s very useful.

Why would we want to set aside his most important contributions? Unless we have, at least, four fit wingers better than AEG, two for the team and two for the bench, it would be madness to let him go. Especially given that there are, ludicrously, nine subs this season.

[rob_bridge]

Totally agree. No point getting rid of AEG.
