The Summer 2021 Transfer Rumour Thread

[ironside]

It’ll be interesting to see what our budget is. Some of those leaving will be going for free but that will free up wages. Some will go for modest fees but, apart from Jack not the sort of amounts that could fund a spending spree.

Not just AEG if we are to kick on none of the following should be first team - Traore Luiz McGinn Trezeguet

These you mention should be replaced with better quality yes. However, Bert, Luiz and SJM and AEG would increase the quality on the bench.

Trez is going nowhere, he's out for 12 months.

There seems to be a fair amount of social media clickbait regarding Zambo Anguissa of Fulham. He's being tauted as an upgrade on Luiz. Must admit, don't know much about the guy apart from he's been out on loan overseas but came back to Fulham earlier this season and has better stats that Luiz.

Why get excited about where Matt Targett likes to hang out??

Been looking at Chelsea stats. Tammy is equal top scorer with 6 goals, along with Werner, Jorginho and Mount, despite playing around only 40% of the minutes of each of the other three. Just saying.

You know what happens when you get excited as a Villa fan.

We get very excited very quickly by exotic names from far flung continents with a well edited YouTube compilation

I’m surprised Heaton is out of contract already. We paid £8m for him and he was only given a 2 year deal?

£8m for a class keeper is pocket money really

With Aston Villa gearing up for our midweek Everton clash and only four games remaining in the 2020/21 Premier League campaign, head coach Dean Smith gave a brief insight into the clubs' plans for the summer transfer window when he met with the media for his pre-game press conference.

It certainly suggests to me that we won't be trawling the Championship for players this summer.

@Melon Donkey will be gutted. He likes nothing more than a good signing from the championship.

I’m not against good championship players, we’re doing alright from them and a few other really good players in good teams have come from there (Justin, Bowen).

My post above about exotic names gets us excited and more often than not, it’s an anti climax.

As with everything in life, it’s a balance.

I agree, but if we are serious about trying to break the top 6, we need to start at least looking in Harrods window.
