lexicon Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Guess it's time for this thread again - seeing as the one last year was opened in March. Linked with Diego from Fenerbache today in The Metro (blacklisted so couldn't start a thread about it) http://metro.co.uk/2015/04/13/aston-villa-cleared-to-make-transfer-bid-for-fenerbache-midfielder-diego-5148535/ Aston Villa’s hopes of signing play-maker Diego have taken a significant step forward after the Brazilian’s father reportedly confirmed that he is keen on a summer move. Diego, 30, had made 17 appearances for Fenerbahçe this season, having signed from La Liga champions Atlético Madrid, but his father’s comments could open the door for a move to Villa Park. According to Turkish outlet Milliyet, the player’s father said: ‘Diego has a few problems with the staff, he is not being played a lot and is not really all that happy so he could leave Turkey at the end of the season.’ Villa are understood to be interested in bringing the former Porto and Werder Bremen ace to England, and a small transfer fee would be expected given Diego’s willingness to leave Turkey. Everton are also thought to be tracking the midfielder, however, meaning a transfer battle between the two Premier League clubs could be set to unfold. Nothing pertinent there but imagine signing him - that'd be the most exciting signing we'd made in years, for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Diego would be fantastic, but I imagine he is on ridiculous wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than enough to get Diego's contract sorted, I'd imagine. I don't think it'll happen but it'd be great if it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooligan Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yeah would probably want ridiculous wages,but who knows the new owners might just have ridiculous amounts of cash to make it happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Well he was on €8,2m/season at Wolfsburg, don't imagine he's on that much at Fenerbahce. All depends on how deperate he is to get out of Turkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 8.2 million euros? Jesus. Serious money. We could do half that, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-Copenhagen Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 That is 120K a week in Germany - are you sure that is correct? As far as I understood most contracts in Germany are driven by bonuses, with a fairly average base salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Sinclair & Cleverly for me anyway think both have been great under Sherwood, still think we need a powerhouse CM who can bully the opposition. Thankfully I think this summer is about getting better players in as opposed to filing holes in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcTheObsession Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I'd like to see us go for Charlie Austin and Sandro if QPR get relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Even with a change of manager, I wouldn't want us to veer massively from our transfer policy under Lambert and Paddy whatshisface. Young and hungry that we can sell for a profit, that's the only way of improving under FFP really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we've splash a bit of cash we've done very well. Benteke, Okore, Vlaar, Kozak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 In fairness Cleverley is 26 in August and Sinclair is already 26. Not sure they fit in that policy at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I'd like us to keep Sinclair and Cleverly (although I think we will only get one) we need a Vlaar replacement as well - beyond that - unless something ridiculous comes up (like Diego above) I think it will be a quiet one. Although given that Sherwood has never bought a player as a manager so anything could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I think he'll want a striker. If we are playing two up top then we need another option for Gabby, loss of form/injury. Assuming Kozak is fit enough to be back up for Benteke. I'm not sure Andi is the man for that job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOTTI-THE-GOD Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Be interesting to see what happens to the players we have out on loan in theory they'll be like new signings to Sherwood as he hasnt seen what there capable of . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
