Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[godzvilla]

For those in search of any Transfer gossip “fix “ concerning the Villa, according to several News outlets this morning the Club  are apparently  interested in  Marouane Chamakh the former Arse forward , who is available on a free at the end of this season . Could be a good deal for a player who was valued at 18million euros 3 or 4 years ago ....mind you , so was Darren Bent ! .

" Aston Villa are readying a move for Crystal Palace forward Marouane Chamakh according to Football Direct News.
Villa Park boss Paul Lambert is keen on landing the Moroccan, who has been in excellent form since moving to Selhurst Park after a decidedly average stint at Arsenal.

Chamakh is the Eagles top scorer this season with five goals and Tony Pulis has got the most out of his South London side to give Crystal Palace a fighting change to beat the drop " .

We're looking at a Belgian attacking midfielder, a non league striker and a 17 year old left back from Plymouth Argyle.  Apparently.

A Lambert shopping list if ever there was one

It's actually funny looking at some of the names that have been put forward in the past on here and how they're doing currently...that would be Frimpong playing for Barnsley in the bottom 3 of the championship and I looked on the Oatcake the other day and they're all scathing about John Guidetti, a little bit overweight it seems.

I've never really cared about where our players come from or if they fit a certain 'profile' of a manager, only how good they are.  More Benteke's, less Tonev's, please Mr Lambert!

The club are going to have to pull their finger out in the transfer market this summer. I sense the loyalty and patience of a lot of season ticket holders is wearing thin.

With our luck, we'll end up with Bo or Luke.

You know we have had a lot of important transfer windows in the last few years. But I really do think this one will be crucial for that reason.

We have a squad now, we have reduced the wage bill significantly, we have a lot of younger players who have gained experience in the last few years.

If we were to buy some class and guile, players who really improve the first team, then it would lift the club. More of the same policy we have seen recently would just add to the malaise and dark clouds hanging over the club at present.

Chamakh has done really well since going to Palace. He was highly thought of prior to joining Arsenal. It didn't work out for him there obviously but he's shown some determination and character in turning things around at a much smaller club. So at least his attitude and application should be commended. If he comes on a free then he certainly offers something different to our current forward options.

Chamakh is about as good as his hairstyle.  Dreadful.
