Been excited about Kodjia for a while now, some great finishes last season... but I always admire a striker who have the presence of mind to dink a ball past a keeper instead of just blasting it when inside the box. Kodjia played in the French leagues before arriving at Bristol - Angers I think and every second goal of his was a cool dink over a keeper If you can find video of his finishing in France you will realise that a 26 yr old striker in his prime for £6.5 million is a bit of a steal. Nice dance celebrations too

Tadic, Mane, Long, Van Dijk, Clyne, Lovren, Wanyama, Forster, Pelle.... All worth 20-30million This is a great signing.

I reckon - if fit - Tshibola will be going straight into the first XI. Clarke put him straight in for Reading at the start of last season and he thrived becoming the "heartbeat of the club" When he got injured after 12 games Readings team fell apart Sign him up

Harrumph

Jérôme Onguene from Sochaux 6'3" centre back/right back. Daily Mail says we're in for him. Anybody heard of this guy? He certainly looks an athlete

I disagree, apart from challenging Giroud for Griezmanns second goal, I think he had a good game - throwing himself into tackles and dominating Giroud for nearly all the game

I would bite your hand off for £5million..... take £3million and give it to Blackburn for Clark international teammate Duffy Elphick + Duffy would be a formidable partnership

Or more realistically Duffy from Blackburn and Hendrick from Derby!!!

I think Hendricks at Derby is exactly the type of player we need... Wes Hoolahan too

Don't care what it looks like, I'm getting one.... I'm sure it will be decent. Getting Petrov 19 on the back. Stan is back

I can imagine 2 New signings unveiled on July 1st. Elphick and (hopefully) Brady . Home and away kits.

He's sooo short!

You have to hand it to short people sometimes.....cause they can't reach!.

Plenty of talent out there in France..... Ukraine, Poland, Iceland even Albania the way they're playing tonight. My realistic tips..... Halldorson (Iceland keeper), 32 yrs looked very comfortable plucking crosses out of the air full stretch, also Jeff Hendrick (Ireland midfielder) currently at Derby County - played really well against Sweden

With Gabby and Kozak leaving...... And (please) Ayew staying with Gestede and the kids. Another striker is defo needed...... Dwight Gayle has been muted?

1.8m = 5'9" which IMO is small for a centre half in the very physical Championship. He has been promoted twice with Bournemouth so he has buckets of experience, I hope we get this one over the line.

Honestly ...I'd rather keep Ayew, than invest heavily this year. I think he would rip up the Championship

Harrumph

5'8" centre half!. I hope he has a leap in him. Hopefully he can organise a defence... Which we've lacked for years

Possible team next Season: ..............................Boruc (Free)................................ Hutton..........Wasilewski (Free)....Duffy (5mil).......Bennett .....................Gardner..............Tetty (Free)............... Adama....................Osman (Free).................Grealish ..............................McCormack (9mil)................................... Bench: Steer, Clark, Toner, Lyden, Westwood, Hepburn-Murphy, Gestede Must get shod of: Guzan, Richards, Lescott, Bacuna & Gabby Would love to keep: Amavi, Gana & Ayew as they would rip up the championship - Adama will leave also Duffy at Blackburn is solid no nonsense Irish International

Complete overhaul required - Out: Guzan £1m (prob USA) - unfortunately must leave Mark Bunn £300,000 (Championship or Div 1) Richards £3m (to Bottom of Prem) - must leave Cissoko £2m (to France or Turkey) Lescott £500,000 (to USA) - must leave Okore £2.5m (to Prem) Amavi £10.5m (to Italy or France) - hope he would stay Bacuna £2m (to Holland) - times up, must go Gana £8m (to Prem League) - hope he stays Richardson £free - out of contract Veretout £5m (back to France) N'Zogbia £free - out of contract Sanchez £2m - (to Spain or Portugal) Agbonlahor £1m (to Turkey) - must leave Kozak £500,000 (to Europe) Ayew £8m (to Prem, Swansea maybe) Thats 16 players out - quite an overhaul with takings of £30-40m some may think this number is high, but Amavi, Ayew and Gana have been decent in a god awful team and I would expect to get a similar return for the money we paid. Amavi is a sought after, talented, young left back who would demand a good fee. Ayew was one of our few shining lights this season, in a half decent team he will score a bucket full of goals. Gana topped the charts in interceptions and tackles for the whole season. I will be surprised if we can hold onto any of them. Leaving us with a depleted squad of: Steer, Baker, Bennett, Clark, Hutton, Kinsella, Toner, Westwood, Gardner, Gil, Grealish, Sinclair, Lyden, Traore (don't think anyone will afford/ risk buying him), Gestede plus reserves In an ideal world we would require - at least: 1 x keeper, 1 x RB, 1x LB, 2 x CB, 3 x Mid, 3 x Forward .......... ie. a new first 11 Of the freebies - I would go for James Morrison, Tom Carroll, Damien Delaney, Leon Osman, Marcin Wasllewski Buy Crouch and Adam from Stoke, maybe a loan for Charlie Austin or Danny Ings.......... what d'you reckon

We are missing serious bite in midfield, Barton at 36 isn't the answer. Jedinak from Palace or Yacob could do the job...

Sorry... I read that crotch!!! The big man would be perfect for the Championship, have Sinclair or Hepburn Murphy running off him. Always been impressed with his attitude and his play with ball at feet Teach Gestede about movement a nd positional sence for a target man. Would be good for 12-15 goals I reckon

After years of embarrassment, we are finally getting relegated. The owners, board and players should be ashamed of themselves. To this end, next season the Villa should be forced to wear a pink and baby blue kit as a constant reminder of their inept effort and attitude which brought us to Championship Football. If someone sets up a petition. I'll be the first to sign it!

I believe the 10 shirt is being kept for Adeybayor. TS was testing the water with the relocation debate. Spurs will be bricking it .... Keeping him on payroll till Xmas at least. They will pay a higher percentage of his wages to get him off the books. The loan will go through before deadline at a lower wage and our ex arsenal execs will toast a job well done
