Transfer thread

Is he good enough for the premier league though?

[westcountryvillain]

If we can get possession in the midfield then yes I believe he is good enough.

People getting excited Axel is signing for us after this tweet

Villa fans think Tuanzebe might have dropped a hint about his transfer future with his latest social media post.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday night the defender commented on Jack Grealish's post saying: “Lead us in the Premier League, skip.”

But could it mean that United are going to activate the release clause for Grealish

Great news if it's true MNE. I still think we need someone like Cahill as well.

Resigning our key loan players is great but I do worry we will be only as good as last season. For example Grealish El and Mcginn didn't set the championship alight. How can we expect it to work in the premiership? I feel we need players that will improve us considerably.

Most important close season signing for me would be Tyrone Mings ... not that bothered about Tammy ... not sure he would do it in the prem .. as we stand we have Grealish and Mcginn who will cut it ... El Ghazi, Chester (if fit), Steer, Elmo, Connor, Hause are all possibles and the French right back from Lille is a bit of an unknown

... but thats about it really..

I would like to see ...
1. a keeper (Butland or Etherington)
2. Tyrone Mings
3. An experienced centre back (Cahill?)
4. A class left back ???
5. An experienced defensive midfielder (Why not Gareth Barry?)
6. A right winger (Lolley?)
7. A goalscorer .. Maupey? Gayle? Benteke?

That would give us half a chance ... I trust Dean has his own wish list .. and look forward to seeing it pan out

Some good suggestions iwuz. Barry would be a great signing. I'm really hoping Manu don't want turnz. A combo of Hause Mings Turnz has huge potential. A quality keeper behind them and were in business at the back. Got to get Cahill if we can't get Turnz.
I know what you mean about Tammy but he's only 21. In a good side he will score shed loads. I liked the team spirit the end of this season. Tammy was a big part of that.

Umm, i think the Barry thing must be some kind of a joke, yer?
Tammy will not be coming back so for me its got to be Maupay.
Mings is our top issue, i will be glad if he signs.

1. keeper, Etherington, Adrian (free!)
2. Tyrone Mings
3. An experienced centre back, Cahill, Jagielka, Williams (all free!)
4. A class left back, Moreno, Baines (both free!)
5. An experienced defensive midfielder (Why not Gareth Barry? Because he is 325 years old) - I'm not sure about this position. Ndidi at Leicester seems to fit the bill
6. A right winger, Lolley, Townsend, Fraser, Sessignon, Babel (free!)
7. A goalscorer .. Maupey, Gomez (that would be incredible), Mitrovic, Rondon, Wilson, Gray, Llorente (free!)

... But I think the scouts may have started on this list a long long time before me.

Elghazi done deal, signs a 4 year deal at a cost of 9 million euros.
Mings next please.

Apparently were interested in Harry Wilson from Liverpool. Very good at Derby last season apparently.
