Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[ASHTONVILLA]

Caleb looks tidy enough for a 18/19-year-old playing in League 1 in his obligatory youtube highlights reel  - see here:

He seems quite quick, with good feet and not afraid to travel with the ball. 

I think if you looked at that youtube clip and it was one of our 18-year-olds who'd been on loan at Northampton last season, you'd think from those highlights that they'd done pretty well -  especially playing in a relegated side, and only starting 2 matches (20 of his appearances were from the bench, for a total of 520 minutes all season - that's less than 6 full games).

Let's see how we can develop him over the next year or so!  Welcome to the Villa Caleb!

Thanks for posting that. He looks strong and good at running past players with the ball on either wing. As you say he has been playing at a level we would be loaning similar aged players out to, be interesting to see how he develops.

Never seen him play, but looking at his scoring record have we brought him in to replace injured KD?

edit: Obviously he is young but 1 goal in 22 games as a forward is pretty unremarkable - obviously we have seen something in him...

Harry Kane had an unimpressive goal record when he was young, this kid is highly rated and a few clubs were after him. If it keeps his brother settled, too, then all the better.

He doesn’t look like a forward from that YouTube compilation, a winger possibly, arguably a midfielder.

To keep his more talented bro sweet so he doesn't agitate for a move. Only messin', I'm sure he's got game.

Same with the Littles, wasn't it?

There is a football focus clip of when Brian Little was sacked and Ellis states that Little's mum asked him to sign Alan to keep Brian company!

The night Brian was sacked, i sat getting pissed in front of an old monitor scanning the slownet for news

I don’t think he was sacked was he?

Apologies, he resigned. I will amend that. In the Football focus clip, Doug's denials were so strong one would assume Little was sacked!

It’s no biggie. Just checking if I needed to hate Doug a bit more.

Pace, strength, good technique - lots of positives to work on with a player who looks pretty good in league football at 19.

Stop fucking about villa. Go throw £40 mil at Sullivan and get Declan Rice.

Where’s £40m come from?  You’d need to double that I reckon.

Them idiots will want more than that.

[Ozzjim]

Why would they sell Rice for less than we got for Jack?

[ChicagoLion]

Why would they sell Rice for less than we got for Jack?

why would Rice join Villa right now, hardly seen as a step up.

[LukeJames]

£40m? Westham will be asking double that, and it will be too Champions League teams if he leaves.

Hookey's been on the hooch!

yes throw 40 million at Sullivan and you would end up with 400, 000 dildos.

Well, we've been looking for someone to play in the hole.
