The Official Summer Transfer Window Thread

That reminds me. I must watch the penalty shoot out again.

Haha, I do that every now and then. Makes me happy every time

 

["Merd"]

I heard he was coming but he couldn't find a taxi

Better?

 

[1958Villan]

If they are paying decent money, I think I'd sell him.

So would I, he's in the final year of his contract so it's either get a few million for him now, or see him go on a free in the summer next year.

Wife is looking at me as if I have gone mad. My recollection was that when told he couldnt leave he rolled his sleeves up and got on with it. Booing should be reserved for the likes of Downing. Maybe memory dulled with age.

Exactly how I remember it. Barry went on to have a great season for us after being told he wasn’t going anywhere. Model pro. One of my favourite ever Villa players

As it looks like we might need another striker as back up, there's a young man it might be worth having a look at, giving a trial to.
Dennis Eckert a 22 year old German centre forward, leftwinger or second striker, who's been on the books of Munchengladbach and Celta Vigo but, is a free agent at the minute.
He has been out on loan to several clubs but, from his record he seems to know where the net is. He's played 170 games, scored 65 goals and got 30 assists.

Balotelli is still without a club. I know lots of my fellow Villa fans think we need another striker.

Get it done for the right money and I'd back it :)

The white feather

I think I'd rather Welbeck, much harder working and not clinically insane like Balotiti and not a crock like Sturridge.

What's wrong with him?

That was Ravanelli wasn't it?

I wouldn't want any of em.

Welbeck went to Watford. May have missed a trick there

You are correct, wrong mercenary

A list of all current free agent strikers. Sturridge, Balotelli, Llorente and Bony all without a club and with premier League experience. Anyone fancy any of them?

No. My view is that there is a reason they haven't got a club.

No. My view is that there is a reason they haven't got a club.

probably not down to ability either

 

[sirdennis]

Yes , that was my point really. Either attitude or wages.

Nothing that I know of, his contract ran down and he wants more playing time for his home club whoever that might be, he's tired of being out on loan.
I figure he's worth giving a couple of weeks trial to at least. At 22 he's got 170 games in his locker so he's got something.

Most of those games were for underage teams. His senior stats are 73 played and 11 scored.
