Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Rumours we're after Dominique Rocheteau - available on a free apparently.

Free cheese, you've got my interest?*

I'll raise you Aleksander "No Footed" Tonev

Whenever a player blasts a shot way over the bar, my standard response is still to shout “Tonev”

That made me laugh.

"Doing a Tonev"
Is a phrase thats has stuck with me when there is any wildly optimistic blaze over the bar.
It sounds to like a wrestling term uttered by Kent Walten on World of Sport while I was waiting for the footy results on a Saturday afternoon.

Pretty sure the link below contains photos of the last Tonev attempt on goal:

Love it!
I wonder whether Tonev was always told to aim for the stars when he embarked on his football career.

Savo is top trumps in this context.

I feel there is a niche market for crap trumps

Tonev doesn't deserve to be in the pantheon of Savo

[LeeB]

Savo scored a wonder goal the last time we won a trophy and played in a side that finished 4th and 5th in consecutive seasons.

He was subsequently sold to Roma for what was a massive transfer fee at the time and top scored at a Euros for his country.

Tonev is, was and always will be just shit.

"Savo" used to be the shout before Tonev came to Villa.

However, although he had a few bad misses, the former was actually a very good player

Quite - there’s a bit of a different level there.

Zaragoza

Yeah, I meant from there to Roma, not directly from us, as if to underline he was a bloody good footballer.

Zaragoza

Beat me to it.  He did go to Parma though for a few years, everything else in Lee's post is correct especially the Tonev being shit bit.

[Risso]

Savo was a perfectly decent stiker for us. 10-12 goals a season and a 1 in 3 ratio. He was a great foil for the more prolific Yorke too, and set up quite a few. That's what we need to get to, having a main striker getting closer to 20 goals, and a support striker getting 10-12. Our problem now is that our main striker in Watkins has those support striker sort of stats.

[LeeB]

We need a ruthless striker. We have one, he's just unproven at this level right now.
