The Summer 2021 Transfer Rumour Thread

[AMS78]

I’ll take a stab and say we are not in for Tammy on loan then…

 

[Villa 4 Ever]

That’s bloody mental

 

[garygaryshaw]

So the Sky rumours that Ings was planning to move to one of the Manc clubs was false. He was just waiting for someone else to move there before rocking up at VP

 

[jcvilla]

Just highlights how much lies all these twitter ITK's, talk sport and sky sources spout doesn't it?

They know sod all about the goings on at Villa until we want them to know

 

[Pangloss]

"Sky sources understand..." fuck all

 

[Lord Ron Saunders]

I've had this selling our players a few times as a villa supporter.The first being the late Gerry Hitchens he went to Italy. Then Sid Cowans went to Bari, and David Platt went. Barry, Delph, and Milner went to city, it looks like we are a nursrey club for city. York went to United. These players generated millons for the club and yet we are selling our best player again, will we never learn, Jack still had 4 years left on his contract, we could screwed another few £ms out of the oiley arabs

 

[crimsondonkey]

Does the Ings signing mean that there's less chance of getting JWP in as well now?

I have this feeling that there was a £100m release clause in his contract.

Danny Ings then. Didn't see that coming. Nor did anyone else apparently.

It was reported he was leaving S’ton and a few clubs were linked (including us I think)

 

[Pangloss]

Lingard anyone ?

Hell no

 

[Villa 4 Ever]

Plot twist, Watkins to Spurs in a 75m deal .. I’ll see myself out

Gotta love the new set up at Villa. Feels like we're moving on already, Ings and Bailey - brilliant!

 

[sirdennis]

I don't subscribe to the view we are spending the money from the supposed sale of Jack either. We have spent £100 million in the previous two windows and are on track to do so again.

 

[astonion2]

There is still the best part of the month before the window closes, so come on Villa suprise us again.

 

[Pride of Lions]

Are we still looking for a No 10?

If we are, James Maddison is available. I realise he's been mentioned, but Arsenal are interested in offering player(s) plus cash.

It would be great to piss them off again.

Agree, keep something back just in case the next Messi wants to join

Buendia = £38 m.
Bailey = £25 m.
Ings = £30 m.
Tuanzebe = £5 m (loan fee).
Total = £98 m.

Rodgers + £90 m cash incoming from JG sale.

 

[danvilla2]

For some reason, I’m really not fussed about Maddison.

We have enough forward players now, along with Buendia somewhere inside.

I’d prefer JWP who is more versatile, orthodox, and can whip just as good a set piece in.

I feel like Maddison is heading south, and when we’re talking circa £65m which would be double JWP, all roads lead to JWP for me.
