I think an important part of this summer will be who moves on. I still think we have some dead wood at the club.

Re: 2017/2018 Transfer Speculation
I agree with you about having to move a fair bit of dead wood, and unearned salaries. I've just noticed that Sunderland have sixteen registered midfielders! At least someone else is also suffering from a dodgy buying history!Sandie wrote:Cairney is a very good player, potentially on the radar of Premier League sides, though.

In other news, Tommy Elphick is being linked with a move over to Small Heath. I would not be disappointed to see that occur.

Good guy, but a poor footballer.

If Jansson's move to Leeds is in doubt (and with the mentioned dispute between them and his club plus the added complexity of their manager quitting it might well be) then we should be keeping near to the front of the queue.

He makes Elphick look like Baresi.

You can see why Bruce might be tempted .... "He's not overly confident on the ball" .... should fit in well with SB's give it a whack tactic.Sandie wrote:Here I am dreaming of Jansson and we get linked to this guy: http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-target-grant-hanley-13099998

Re: 2017/2018 Transfer Speculation
I've got a lot of respect for Whelan. He's a player who's made a career out of limited assets, by application and attitude. However, as you say his age is against him.Sandie wrote:Glenn Whelan was an underrated player once, have a feeling he might be a bit past it now, though: http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/transfers-aston-villa-confident-landing-13135004

Re: 2017/2018 Transfer Speculation
I think our success next season depends on getting the best out of existing Villa players, with just a couple of astute signings added.
It's how we use the players we've already got that will make or break us next season.
