Fans often wrongly describe their club as a laughing stock when players leave, I think in Villas case after Delph publically committing last week only to move today it is probably justified! I'd hate to be a villa fan, how embarrassing! Delphs move must be linked to Benteke leaving, he must feel or even know they're lacking ambition, probably reluctant to reinvest that money! I think a takeover fell through earlier in the week too. That's a proper meltdown

Outs & replacements Clyne - Soares is his replacement Morgan – To replace Toby – To replace Elia – Jrod back in his place Djricic – Gaston back in his place Foster long term Injury – Steklenberg cover Additions remaining from last years squad depth Midfielder to replace corks absence & additional fixtures Midfielder to replace Morgan (Claise likely) Center back to replace Toby Striker – Juanmi acquired. Full back cover – Martina acquired. After we get replace Morgan and Toby, I’d say we will probably be up an additional 3 on head count, 4 when fraser returns from injury. Juanmi (additional Striker) Martina (full back cover) Additional Midfielder (additional Midfielder) Steklenberg (goal Keeper cover) In summary, I think we will see 3 more transfers. 2 x midfielders 1 x center back.

That was last Season. I'd suggest with our additional fixtures & squad changes that we will be competeing against the following next year for those 4th-10th spots Tottenham Liverpool Swansea Stoke Everton West Ham We also dont know how Sunderland & Newcastle will perform with new managers

Remember being massively impressed with Clasie during the world cup, who would have thought when we were in the never regions of league 1 we would be signing a player of this quaility! Really excited by this transfer!!

I'm going for "Judge our business at the end of the transfer window" or he is annoucing the signing of Wesley Sneijder as morgans replacement alongside Jordy Clasie

I do hate being a selling club :-(

Eh? - We signed Cederic before we sold Clyne - Schnderlin hasnt left yet so we may well sign a replacement before he leaves - Toby wasnt our player, we were trying to sign him, why would we try and sign someone else before Toby made his decision who he was signing for?

That makes no season seeing that we only paid £1 million for Morgan? A transfer fee has no bearing on the players ability in truth...

The facts will come out once he's signed for either Saints or Spurs, until then we can make no assumptions! We have no idea what is going on, so accusing the club over under reacting is ridiculous at this stage

Koeman to come out of retirement?

Wasnt there a similair story last year of him at a train station in london with pictures on twitter? Turned out he was watching tennis then too...

BALLS thought that would work. Direct link

This Goal

with a solid pre-seaso behind him.... ;-)

Kevin Davies now availble..

I think it depends who we class as striking options over attacking midfielders\wingers as to whether we'd need him. You could argue that we have the following striking options already Long Pelle JRod Juanmi Mane Gallagher Mayuka Not saying that that they're all better than Guidetti though.

The interview with schneiderlin reporting that he expects his future to be resolved is now being reported on SSN

What about big Duncan Spedding.... He found his way into management... http://www.headtotoebeauty.co.uk/professionals/seriousaboutfitness.htm

Cosimo Sarli?!? Can't remember which CM he was valued at £1million...

Sterling - £45 Milllion + Harry Kane - £40 Million + Jack Wilshire - £40 Million + Fabian Delph - £20 Million + Luke Shaw - £32 Million Lallana - £26 Million This is why we are replacing with Foreign players

"Note that the direct lateral, also the international class of machines, ended the contract in 2016" Clear as mud

I suppose it's how you define "impact" If it's by media attention then yes, Grealish has had more of an impact. If however it's by contributions to team and performances on the pitch then it's JWP.

I wonder if Hull fans (who were probably rubbing their hands together when they received £12m) still think it was an over the top fee... Long would have kept Hull up with his Goals, he would be worth allot more than £12m to them now...

Can't believe some are arguing that Liverpool isn't a step up from us! They may have only finished 2 points above us and be in the same European competition as us, that unfortunately is where the similarities ends!! They are a massive club with global appeal and are in a different league to us financially! I'd like to see the same people argue that Stoke/Swansea as just as big as Liverpool
