Bassey to Ajax, interesting.

Shirley not?

I think Rangers unearthed a Diamond.

20m, been taken to the cleaners.

The minute he walks in the joint, they’ll know..

Saw a link but now lost it , it's on news now (so likely shite) but raid PSG for Mauro Icardi (striker) and Gini Wijnaldum ??

Would both bring experience at highest levels and round out squad nicely. Perhaps offer Chucky as bait plus a wodge of cash.

From previous discussions on here I think we've already established that Icardi's agent/wife is a publicity hungry loon and the resultant circus would be more trouble than it's worth.

What would we have to pay them every week? A quarter of a mill each? No thanks.

Just looked it up, it was one of those where somebody says "Aston Villa should look at Icardi" stories. In this case, the "somebody" being an unheard of journalist from the Leicester Mercury.

Agree that Wijnaldum would be a good signing. I seem to remember Gerrard hinted at bringing in someone he knew that was experienced, which I assume to mean another ex-Liverpool player. Thought at the time he meant Suarez, but could be Wijnaladum I suppose.

I'd like us to raid Leicester as they have a few players winding down contracts and look vulnerable to dropping down the league pecking order. Ndidi would be a great signing, as would Tielemans.

For any of those to happen we probably need to shift either Sanson, or Luiz first. Preferably Luiz seeing as he wont sign a contract and is overrated so might fetch upwards of £15m.

Unsubstantiated reports this afternoon that Chelsea have offered us Ross Barkley...

Ooh, chuck in Danny Drinkwater and you've got a deal lads!

[Villafirst]

I'd like to see Calvin Bassey rock up at Villa Park. Surprising should he sign for Ajax.....surely the player would prefer the Premier League ??

He looked great for a month.

Wonder if Gerrard played with him for England. Anyway hope it isn't accurate.

That was the frustrating thing,
Whether the injury he picked up hampered him more than was known we’ll never know.

Anyway, a no from me

You’re right, he’d have been great to get, but we were never going to go for him at £20m, same as why we didn’t follow up with Hickey.  Having spent £27m on a first choice left back this year already, we had other places to spend that sort of cash more urgently.
