Summer transfer rumours

You do get the line, "There was interest in me from elsewhere, but as soon as I knew Sunderland were interested saw the training ground etc, then I knew this was place for me"

Also, their enquires will be used by the agent to massage the players ego, and serve the agent well further down the line when a deal is being made as he'll make it seem like player and agent deserve the money because of said 'interest' even though for the agent that may have been a 30 second phone call, or quick text.

 

bit of both. one may have caused the other as well.

didnt do enough for me to want to spend a million quid on him

 

Selling clubs will always want the best fee they can get, players will always want the highest wages they can get... agents get a % of this so will fight for high figures... not surprising... then with our wealthy owner, it is hardly surprising that perhaps the sort of players we want to be incoming may well be at the last minute of the window.

Patience is not something I have in abundance..

 

No chance in my opinion. Just another example of what everyone is discussing above re linking us to every player any other club is in for.

 

I highly doubt it. Would be very surprised. He didn’t get on against Lincoln in the play-off 2nd leg when we were desperate for a goal, that says a lot.

 

Ipswich about to sign George Edmundson from Rangers for those that are interested. Sounds like they are trying to get 3 in this week.

 

They’re certainly going for it, Chaplin from Barnsley looking likely too.

 

Yeah, which is weird as he was playing most games in a side that finished 5th.

Rumoured to be also going for Mariappa too.

 

At what point are we just going to have to bite the bullet and pay a bit more than we want to? We are giving promotion rivals such a head start by leaving it to the last minute.

 

Who says we aren't doing that? Deals take time, especially if you are going for quality over quantity

 

It should be a buyers market, as if the selling club, (if they want to sell) drag their feet/take the mick, you just move on to the next target.

 

Linked with a Villa u23 Striker over on RTG. Keinan Davis.

 

Loose link tho. Pic of a random car.

 

Looks fake as anything mate

 

Too similar to Kelvin Davis, I'm out.

 

Aye, I'm not going to start googling the Reg or tax status of the car etc.
Just another loose link, albeit a new one.

 

Linked with a move to Stoke City.

6' 3" but not a good goal scoring record at Villa. 72 appearances and only 3 goals is not a great strike rate. Source: Wikipedia

 

He's pants according to my Villa supporting mate. Luckily this "link" is a fecking number plate that looks a bit like his name.

 

Kid was just messing in anyway mate, nowt to see here
