Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[dave.woodhall]

Anyway... Back to my weird twitter # stuff. When I do an #avfc search, I get all the avfc posts, but also loads of gumf from people that have avl in their user name. Any ideas why?

AVL is the abbreviation for matches.

Google Monster Energy Drink Horror Stories and it might change your mind. These types of Drinks should not be linked to our Football Club. I have already sent the Club an Email

Did you do the same with W88, 32RED, Unibet, Dafabet, Genting etc?

All evil. All got letters. Football should not be commercial.

Personally I couldn’t give a fuck where the money comes from-energy drink companies, porn, child slave labour, terrorism etc…if it gets us champions league football it’ll be worth it

Why not? A W88 is an American nuclear warhead....

I'm not searching avl, it just comes up. It's weird. Only does it when I'm logged into twitter too.

They're linked search terms in the twitter algorithm because, as Dave says, AVL is the default for us when we're live.

Unfortunately, I've heard from my Villa mad neighbour (his nephew has a reliable contact in the club) that we're not going to get anyone else this window. Apparently Deano is happy with what he's got already.

I sincerely hope he's wrong. 🙏

So do I. Just out of interest, did he tell you about Danny Ings? Or others we’ve signed?

IMO, to trouble the upper reaches of the table, we need JWP and Bissouma or a player exactly like him re: position and ability. Both are better than any of our current midfielders.

Maybe he's saving some of the war chest for January.

He was right about Jack leaving before it was confirmed, unfortunately.

Question is, would we be prepared to pay £50 million for JWP? Might have to look abroad, unless there a suitable prospect in the youth team that Deano wants to bring through. Haven't got long to go though.

Perhaps Villadelph is right and he's waiting for January. You definitely pay over the odds for players then!

Spurs have signed two players on loan and the Locatelli deal is a two year loan, all with obligations to buy afterwards.  Most clubs are skint.
I think we are missing a trick not pushing ourselves now.  The market will be different once stadiums are full and cash starts flowing again.

[pauliewalnuts]

if before the summer, someone had said:

Grealish out
Young, Tuanzebe loan, Bailey, Ings, Buendia in.

I think most of us would have been underwhelmed.

[PaulWinch again]

We need a centre mid.

[ozzjim]

With a net spend of less - £5m. We know the money is there, Bailey and Buendia were both signed to play with, not replace Jack according to most reliable sources about Villa in the media. So there is a decent pot to spend. Would I spend £50m of it on Ward Prowse.. Maybe. His stats are remarkably good for an all round midfielder abs he brings leadership and if course set plays.

I think we'd get just as much value from loaning in Gueye and sitting him in front of our back 4 and buying Lingard cheaply to play 10 though. Sad as it is to admit about him.

Yeah - maybe a slightly better squad but a worse team.

It doesn’t feel like a team that will trouble for the european places.  Hope dean isn’t the fall guy.

If we don’t strengthen midfield I can’t see us finishing as high as last year.
