Summer Transfer Window - Credible Rumours Only Please

Mouth of Martinez · July 2, 2015

There has been credible links to Ogbonna and Mertens and half links to Astori and Shaqiri - why are we focusing on Serie A?

Mertens would be a good addition, and is in his prime

Nah, mate. He'll be 63 in 35 years.

I can see another signing happening only after someone like Mirallas is sold. It shouldn't be this way, but I think it will be.

Speculation

Just an idea mods and I don't know if it'll make any difference but worth a punt... when you open a new page your instinct is to look at the top entry and click on it. Currently this one is top. I'd recommend switching places with the speculative one, as more stuff is speculative and less is credible. That thread would in theory get clicked on more first then.

Could be my jarg psychology degree or there might actually be something to it.

Keeping this post on topic, I well want Mertens.

In the article saying Villa have bid for Praet it states that we're interested. He's so highly rated and still young, would be class in my opinion.

Maybe it is but not much else is happening. Koff Martinez and your full squad for Singapore nonsense.

From that article:

"Tim Sherwood has launched a £7million bid for Anderlecht’s Belgium international Dennis Praet and is close to signing Lille midfielder Idrissa Gueye.

Sherwood is considering an offer for Praet after this week making an inquiry for the highly-regarded attacking midfielder, as he steps up his search for summer signings at Aston Villa."
