The Summer 2020 Transfer Rumour Thread

[Platypus]

Is this some modern form of communication I've not been privy to?!

Sorry, I was suddenly struggling with a painful erection.

 

[Thomas Holte]

Wow, just had a very reliable whisper on the transfer front. Excited to reveal we may, or may not, be signing and/or selling someone in either this window or another.

I should really get myself back on twitter, the power of being ITK needs to be shared.

Or in other news, fuck me the people on twitter can be soooo ridiculous!

 

[Bonker]

wiki and / or youtube knowledge aside (I can do that myself) ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milot_Rashica )

Tell me, great, good, indifferent signing? Looks tipped towards potentially great ?!

He sure can run with the ball, scores too - unknown quantity in the PL though - any of these such guys could be PL stars or the next Wesley but given we've just signed two top EFL players I'd like the next one to come with undoubted PL ability, King & Buendia both fit that bill.

 

[Platypus]

If he's worth £18m then Buendia must be worth double that - exciting player no doubt but Buendia has done it in the PL for all to see and in a sh*t team to boot.

Different player. Buendia more of a classic playmaker but who can play wide, whereas Rashica is an out-and-out winger/wing-forward.

Basically, GET BOTH!

I do (as you know, with a season long whinge from me) agree PL experience. The other bit if no experience, is PL quality. They are a risk (all signings are obviously) if they haven't been in the PL and have to agree King and Buendia would hit the ground running.

I'm half sure (!) Buendia is one that Sir Dennis mentioned in a chat as one he'd go for. Can't think of another Norwich midfielder that would have been in front of him as eye catching.

Why not they have to be an improvement on what we have, especially some of our bench who never get on anyway. Both those players could actually oust SJM to the bench some weeks and that's what we need , depth

 

[Stephen Jay Hawkings]

I agree, we can't have too many good players.

Looking at the bench last season was depressing, we had nothing, also injuries always have to be considered.

Never really looked at our bench and thought why doesn't Smith bring so and so on because we all know the answer it would severely weaken the team.

After watching El Ghazi give up in extreme close up through the camera at Southampton, I've wanted him gone and that means replacements

And we can't ask Jack to play every minute until he drops, even though we know he would. The schedule is going to be punishing again this season and we need quality fresh legs available every few days. Like the Championship but twice the level.

Rashica has also done it in a shit team, in a decent standard league. I'd think both are an improvement on what we currently have.

 

[JuanPabloAngel]

I'm half sure (!) Buendia is one that Sir Dennis mentioned in a chat as one he'd go for.

 

[sirdennis]

Tbh I think out mighty leader was referring to the proper Sir Dennis.

If Buendia is good enough for him though , then he is good enough for me.

I'm in.

Sure and I propped him when he was first mentioned (and still do) but Buendia looked wow in the PL.

 

[david-avfc]

Rashica had “definitely signed” 3 or 4 weeks according to some on Twitter so forgive me for not believing the rumours now. Isn’t Bild, the newspaper reporting the deal, the German equivalent of the Sun?

Yep.

Amongst the many rumours doing the rounds this week, Arsenal goalkeeper Emi Martinez continues to be a hot favourite to become Aston Villa's third senior capture of the summer.

[The Fear]

Yes, I meant Sir Dennis, as opposed to sirdennis.

 

[The Fear]

I reckon start it now. Fear won't mind if we get a headstart.

Oh but he would! Rumours in here until fact, then we have a thread.

All nice and OCD tidy.

I think Sir Dennis should be referred to as THE Sir Dennis in future, to avoid any confusion with the Vital Villa fanboy
