Summer 2015 Transfer Window General Discussion

"I'm not leaving. I'm staying at the football club and I can't wait for the start of the season and captaining this great football club."

That a boy Delph!

now imagine if Benteke followed his captains example and turned down pool when they activate his release clause every Villa fan would be doing the yes chant then (I know he's not but to this PW mod Villa fan thats what it looks like).

Nice to see a player put playing time ahead of a big pay cheque for a change

klose · 11-07-2015 06:14PM

Behrami officially off to watford, they are sure making a play to stay in the premier league with their signings.

Beats the last two times we came up and got spanked and went straight back down.

Delph probably failed a medical or City decided to pull the plug after making a breakthrough with a different target. Something will have gone on behind the scenes IMO. His PR bollocks about not wanting to leave/putting first team football first or some such will be swallowed up though.

you may be correct but couldn't give two sh!ts tbh

Delph will be Villa's captain again next year and will be starting in midfield alongside his "replacement" who Villa signed for around 9m yesterday.

In fairness Villa fans know the deal was supposed to be done, the talk is he just had a change of heart. Everybody knows the deal was almost done, and that up to yesterday he wanted to go.

Is Gueye not more Cleverleys replacement/upgrade on Westwood?

HalloweenJack · 11-07-2015 07:35PM

Casillas to Porto is off, for now at least.

Obviously will have recupersions for De Gea and any Man U biz.

he is now anyway. Until the Delph U turn he had been talked of as a Delph replacement due to the similar fee and the timing of the signing / Delphs departure but technically he (ill admit ive not seen much of him) would be most akin to Westwood out of those 3 as in he is a CM and more a DM than a AM from all accounts.

Villa's CM should be sorted now with Delph, Gueye, Sanchez and Westwood in there.

The next sigining is expected to be Nice left back Jordan Amavi also. Other players linked at the moment include Praet from Anderlecht (highly rated Belgian AM) and Chery from Groningen (Dutch Winger).

Is Amavi still on?

havent seen anything to suggest otherise (could have missed it thouh) just think there wasn't any news on him over the weekend. This was from Friday

Villa are unlikely to do any business while they’re on tour in Portugal, however Nice left-back Jordan Amavi remains firmly on the radar.

If the claret and blues are to land anyone this week it’s likely to be the 21-year-old who boss Tim Sherwood desperately wants in his ranks.

Villa are prepared to pay around £8million for the 21-year-old who has already held initial talks with the club over a move.

Arsenal have tracked the France U21 international recently but it’s thought that they are no longer interested in his services.

Nice are willing to sell Amavi - one of their prized assets - to give them a much-needed cash injection, although it’s thought they might hold out for around £9million.

If we hold onto De Gea it'd be brilliant!! I know he'll move for free next year but too see Madrid with Egg on their faces would be outstanding!

They are different type players in fairness though. I wouldn't have anything between them in terms of being 'better'. Alonso is the rarest type of player in modern football imo, it's becoming harder and harder for a midfielder to have to try and dictate a game with the ball. Both great players.

Rayne Wooney · 11-07-2015 11:55PM

Amongst all the chatter United signing one of the best right backs in the world was almost forgotten

Instantly one of the best right backs in the league

Says who?

Lovely Bloke · 12-07-2015 12:13AM

Is there now question as to whether the starting Italy RB, and a guy who's made the Serie A Team of the Season 2 seasons running is one of the best in the world in his position?

Are people saying that that player, whoever it is, shouldn't be counted as one of the best in his position in the world?

Anyone saying that has a pretty weird agenda.

Just like Soldado was one of the best strikers in the league?

Give the kid some time to play ball first...

I'll take one for the team and say that he isn't.

I don't watch Serie A a whole lot but it's certainly improving although just because Juve reached the CL final does not mean it's above the PL and Bundesliga imo.

Italy are also far from as good as they were. All things aside they've failed to get out of the group stages the past 2 WC's, and the fact that aging players continue to start somewhat indicates that their young players aren't up to standard.

Also, if you think that just because he starts for Italy he must be good, then what about Abate who used to start for them? Surely he must've been an amazing player, right? or maybe he's just an average player in a mid-table SerieA side, just like Darmian.
