The time has come :)
So what do you think has got to be done in the summer regarding ins and outs?

You speak to Chelsea fans and they reckon he was one of their best defender towards the end of last season.

I think the striker is Duran and it's as good as done. I'd be avoiding the Moroccan right back like the plague, north Africans are just too flakey. That will be KWP or AWB but we seem to have made a large error in our strategy by selling Downes to Southampton before having a deal in place for KWP. Now they're trying to pull our pants down for 20m. Seems like we have irons in the fire for left wing, Zaha, Jota etc. Centre back seems to be a problem area, missed out on a few good ones and the ones we want are expensive and don't want to come!
I aint worried, just pleased to have a new manager and better football next season.

This right back situation is hopefully coming to a head after dragging Man U & us both interested in the Moroccan from Bayern. If he picks them then surely they will be keener to get AWB out the door to us
Striker situation seems to be going round in circles Pick one and pay. If its too difficult move onto the next I suspect if Villa DO want to get rid of Duran they will also have in mind we play them on the opening day so will drag it beyond then

Successful in terms of players we've bought in (we both hope), but it might not be successful in terms of how our season plays out if their not here now.
Surely if we changing a lot of the squad up, and changing the style of football we play, you want as many players in as soon as possible?
We're dragging our feet now.

I still can't get my head around that we haven't bought a striker yet.
That should have been the first player through the door the first day the window opened considering how long we've needed one.
Unless the idea is to go with Antonio and Ings next season (which on paper looks like madness)?

Obviously it has slowed right down but I still think it will be a successful window once it shuts… just that some we thought would be easy have hit the skids and so looking at alternatives.

If you look at our transfer business as of 8am today, then it's been pretty shit considering the players we've needed to bring in.
There's still plenty of time before the window closes, of course, but not so much time if you want players bedded in for the start of the season.

I suppose realistically if only the manager changes and not the owners then any changes won't be significant. Suspect we will get the 3 or so we need but likely won't happen imminently. If it doesn't happen Loppi will walk. Also, this pearl diver nonsense isn't really a thing is it.

Or maybe I should say it feels like a Sullivan transfer window

Dare I say it that at the moment it feels a bit like a Moyes transfer window?
Still time for that to change but Zouma, Aguerd, Ings etc have all gone to the States
Cornet has had 45 mins in each friendly but hasn't exactly grabbed the opportunity.
Figurwd we're in dire need of full backs, striker(s) and left wing and seen nothing yet to dispel those thoughts

Re: Official Transfer rumours and gossip thread

It all feels a little unclear right now since besides having a new manager (head coach) it's still unclear who is leaving, our best youngsters are a year older and may get chances, and will the likes of Cornet get a chance now?
As is stands I'd say we need 3 more first teamers in, I fancy Duran will happen soon and Aguerd will go out. Hopefully can ship out old man Zouma and Ings and wouldn't be against Soucek going. JWP can stay.

Villa are having a clear out, not sure why as they finished 4th but seem to think that because they are in the CL they need better.
Fancy that, have a good season and then try to get better. Of course that's the sensible approach. Try to improve every year. It's called progress. Onana's their 7th signing with only 2 having been sold (assuming Diaby goes), so they are going to need to out a few more I would think

We were close to getting Onana until his sister/agent wanted 30% on top of his salary for her Presume Everton agreed to that Didn’t think he was anything special Villa have bought about 7 players I think but have sold Douglas Luis to Juve for £42m or thereabouts Also think they are selling Diaby to Saudi for a decent fee

Villa have posted 4 big losses in a row and are under FFP investigation , they need to sort there books and still improve the squad or they are next .

Matty Cash available apparently. A yes from me. Villa are having a clear out, not sure why as they finished 4th but seem to think that because they are in the CL they need better.

Anyone else find Onana for 50M a bit odd? I felt Everton robbed him from us and so watched him against us. Thought he was nothing special and was happy we got Alvarez instead.

Frustrating Kylay son
You'd think there must be a role for fan scouting or did the scouting department even waist a year ago.
Worth putting in the suggestion box

Rumour that Man Utd have told us they will take £10m for AWB but they want it now so they can get Mazraoui over the line.
