Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[King Cropley]

Delaney wouldn't be a bad punt. Fits into the viewpoint that we're not going to splash out and are looking for value now.

....thought Dortmund were supposed to have agreed a deal with Sevilla for Delaney ? Has it fallen through ?

You probably know more than me. I was just going by the discussion on here over the last few pages

No, not in possession of any special insight, just something I saw on t'internet yesterday, an article attributed to Michael Zorc that said a fee had been agreed with Sevilla over the weekend.....could be total bolleaux though !

A "delaney sevilla" search reveals they only want £6m (€7m).
Sevilla had bid £5m (4 days ago).
Talks had stalled (5 days ago).
Dortmund saying they're still in talks (5 hours ago).

Delaney or McKennie are top level players. Both would be brilliant signings. Neither will arrive though I don't think.

[OzVilla]

Being suggested we have agreed terms with Bryan Small’s lad Thierry from Everton.

Great news if true. All my Everton mates up here really rate him.

He’s off to Southampton now.

[King Cropley]

Small has signed for Southampton  I think

...confirmed on Sly Sports. Just signed 3 year deal.

I reckon at the end of this season Rice will be off to Chelsea

[robleflaneur]

We signed Buendia and Bailey ,£65 m ,to play with Grealish.Deducting Ings' fee from the £100m leaves Dean with £70m + to spend.Also bear in mind that we had made enquiries about JWP before Grealish's future was decided and a big wage increase for Jack was agreed.
Spending big can still equate with getting value if the players are in the right age group.If we don't spend the vast majority of the £70m then either the owners have surprisingly changed their plans or suitable £30m+ holding midfielders and wide players aren't available which would be equally surprising.

even some Villa supporters think we are still a possible relegation side. Maybe a couple of recruits in January when we are challenging the top order might be the thing.

I don’t think we will be anywhere near relegation, but we may tread water.

It seems a fee to be agreed by a tribunal.

[JUAN PABLO]

heard Marco Reus on one of these click masterbait things for 13 million

[Damo70]

If you are still pissed off about Jack Grealish leaving then you might want to avoid this months
FourFourTwo magazine. Jack is on the front cover and inside the magazine is a ten page spread on him.

Declan Rice will not sign a new contract at West Ham - let the conspiracy theories commence.

he thinks west ham are pricing him out of a move. if he lets the clock tick on his contract, west ham have to lower the price.
