Aston Villa Rumours Archive May 19 2016

19 May 2016 20:19:32
We need to stamp a marker on the championship we start go 12 mill for Ross McCormack get joey Barton for leadership and get Alan judge what people think.

19 May 2016 20:36:58
Mccormacks a good shout. Think we should try and get will Hughes from Derby, and goalkeeper David Marshall from Cardiff.

19 May 2016 20:38:20
I think so yes and definately Joey Barton!

19 May 2016 21:01:07
You take will Hughes I also like Cyrus Christie quick right back.

19 May 2016 21:06:59
Alan judges stats this season scored 14 and 11 assists and Ross McCormack stats are 23 goals and 9 assists think of them two in the same time.

19 May 2016 21:25:41
I think gestede will be good for us in the championship. He is a proven goal scorer at that level. I admit he probably isn't good enough for prem.

19 May 2016 21:50:28
Tell me what you guys think of this for our team
Gk - steer
Defenders Christie, okore, toner, amavi
Centre mids Barton and Hughes
Attacking mids traore judge grealish
Striker McCormack.

19 May 2016 22:02:06
Change the goalkeeper, don't think steer is good enough. rest of it looks good, plenty of goals in the team.

19 May 2016 22:14:12
I just couldn't think of a goalkeeper who do people think we should go for then in goal.

19 May 2016 22:38:33
I'd love it if we kept amavi. Fingers crossed. Also, traore will be like a new signing. Out of our current squad I think I'd keep Hutton, Clark, okore, amavi, gana, grealish, traore, grealish, ayew, and gestede. I'm not saying they would all start.

Priority is definitely a new keeper. Then get rid of Gabby Abby.

Aston Villa 2016-2017 Championship Team

GK - Ruddy
RB - Christie
CB - Clark
CB - Toner / Shackell / Caulker
LB - Amavi
CM - Hughes
CM - Mowatt
CM - Gueye
LW - Ince
ST - Gestede
RW - Traore

Ross Mccornmack is a proven Goalscorer but Rudy Gestede is also a proven goal scorer in the championship, with the wide players sunce at ince and traore, they will deliver balls into the box to him and he will finish them.

Midifield 3 are energetic. Hughes and Mowatt are very creative and will create chances. Gueye will do all the dirty work.

Defense - I've gone for a simple back 4. keeping clark in the side i think he will be a good defender in the championship. I would like to say Okore but he won't play again and i don't think richards will either. Christie and Amavi are hard working attackive full backs.

Goalkeeper - John Ruddy for me is a world class goalie for the championship and has proven that over the years and his performances in the premier league. For me he should be going to euros instead of Heaton.

Also Have the youth potential such as Grealish who will shine in the championship and show his best form. Also you have Andre Green, Jordan Lyden. Rushian Hepburn-Murphy.

I think villa get rid of Richards, Ayew, N'zogbia ( will shine in championship), Guzan, Hutton, Gil, Lescott and Sincliar.

So asell as the £50 million the chairman has promised, there could be a income of £10-15 million of them players which adds up to £60-65.

For me Aston Villa really need to look at championship quality players to get through this year and gain promotion then worry about premiership next year when promotion is done. The championship is a very tough league its so close all the time so Villa need to buy players with experiance even bring in people like Huddlestone or Barton.

Verdict for next season - 2nd.

20 May 2016 09:39:41
The Championship is more of a 4-4-2 division, a No9 and a proper No10, McCormack is the guy I'd go with, Gary Gardner=Will Hughes but would cost nothing, Vertout would be a good No10 if actually used as a No10, Ince a good shout on LW, it's CM and defence where we need some warriors, I've said Collins back from West Ham before, and Barton is ideal, GK Myhill

21 May 2016 08:30:59
Who will buy Richardson?
Are you suggesting we keep Richards?

19 May 2016 18:01:00
Heard a rumour a while ago Baggies are preparing a bid for Gabby. Makes sense today they announced that Sessegnon and Anichebe being released.

19 May 2016 21:13:50
Nobody is going to buy goalless gabby.

19 May 2016 14:44:55
Several qoutes now coming direct from the new Villa owner being prepared to spend up to £50m in the first season. Goes on to say he aims to get Villa into the top 6 within 5 years. which is very optimistic!
I'm pretty sure most new owners have great ambition for their respective clubs but at least its something positive (and confirmed) to focus on eh!
He also confirms that its not a one-horse race for the managerial position. reckon that's why Jose hasn't gone to Utd yet ;)

19 May 2016 15:27:03
Yeah worry is brendan Rogers is being thrown around a fair bit now, hopefully this takeover will help us keep hold of some players like amavi, and ayew, tho he's had secret talks with west ham anf crystal palace which I'm sure is tapping up.

19 May 2016 15:53:05
Ive also heard a rumour he is looking at buying into China's main TVs channel star TV, the possibilities are endless if this guy is the real deal.

19 May 2016 18:41:37
DBS1983 - i have to say mate if we can get out of the championship then spend in the premier there is no reason why we can't finish top half of the premiership in a few years never mind 5! If Leicester can win the dam thing we can have a go too with a good manager and teamwork! Birmingham are you listen to the song we are singing.

19 May 2016 21:44:28
Hi Devlins - Great to hear some positivity on here and i'm certainly feeling it too. just trying not to get carried away though as it's going to be tough enough getting out of the Championship let alone pushing top 6 in the Prem. One step at a time I think. For now let's just hope we get rid of the overpaid under performers and start to rebuild.
Hopefully if this happens quickly we can get VP rocking with some long overdue wins and take momentum into the Prem where we'll see how ambitious this guy really is.
UTV!

20 May 2016 00:28:53
well said Devlins, a man with vision.

19 May 2016 08:56:53
new manager will be roberto di matteo. will be given around 50 million to spend in this window. targets include mccormack king off Leicester manga from Cardiff. plus others I'm sure. kingy exclusive.

19 May 2016 10:24:08
I'm hearing snodgrass is a target if he doesn't go up with hull.

19 May 2016 11:55:00
Good player Snodgrass, bang on 👍🏻

UTV.

19 May 2016 12:06:35
I've heard between 30-40 million to spend, plus what ever we get from sales,

{Ed002's Note - Simply not true. This will just be BS made up by some 10 year old on Twitter. It is not how the games works at all.}

19 May 2016 12:07:49
Kingy - Could you use one of your contacts (preferably the one that gave the reasonably accurate info rather than the other contacts you have) to ask for the following:

Players out: Guzan, Richards, Cissoko, Bacuna, Sanchez, N'Zogbia, Richardson, Agbonlahor, Sinclair, Kozak.

Players in: McCormack, Hughes (Will), Camps (Callum), Roofe (Kemar) . Add to that a peppering of international talent, Loanee's back and a couple of prem loans if needed and i think we could bounce straight back up.

Nice to hear rumours of £50 million to spend in the summer but really don't think we need it if we can hang on to the the more talented members of the squad and add some more fight, talent, hunger and football league knowhow.

Will be interesting to see if players like Ayew and Amavi stick around now. even if we have to loan them out to a prem team next season, which i think i'd rather see us do with some of the newer players who had to contend with their first season in the prem in that Villa squad!

Hears to an interesting summer! UTV.

Dr. Tony Xia has bought Aston Villa,
Recon Group is a privately owned holding company that owns the controlling interest in five publicly listed companies on the Hong Kong and Chinese stock exchanges and many other private companies employing 35,000 people in 75 countries.

Dr Xia's immediate objective is to return Aston Villa to the Premier League and then to have the Club finish in the top six, bringing European football back to Villa Park. He plans to make Aston Villa the most famous football Club in China with a huge fan base.

19 May 2016 10:42:46
One of his companies is 2nd biggest in the world - and yes they all Employ over 35,000 people - on those grounds i think its fair to say he is very very rich, billions not millions! I have seen an estimate of 27bn?

{Ed002's Note - The relevance of which is what?}

19 May 2016 15:37:26
What do you mean " thr relevance of which is what?! What s strange, alomost arogant question! Lol If he is worth that kind of figure and wants spend it, he could make us hugely successful is what! don't understand your question in
any way?

{Ed002's Note - No, actually what you don't understand is the game and the rules surrounding money.}

19 May 2016 15:38:25
Odd question there mate! Laughing.

{Ed002's Note - There is nothing odd about the question at all - what is odd is your lack of knowledge.}

19 May 2016 18:53:59
I have plenty of knowledge of the game and its rules surroundings financials. i'm an accountant for one! Now i understand about fair play rules and how that changes things, and i also understand that this extremely wealthy person can improve Aston Villa on the football field and commercially, in fact it could make the club huge bearing in mind his plans to introduce Villa to China and further expand our fan base and commercial attractiveness!
Villa til i die.
