Summer Transfer Thread: Speculation, Lies, Absolute Cr*p and Bosman Rumours

[Brian Taylor]

Are we up for sale?  Clerk in bookies reckons he is getting money on Villa to be sold before next season starts! Randy? What are you up to?
I know it has been discussed but do I put money on it? I am/was a bit sceptical.

[N'ZMAV]

Barton is one of the last players the club will go after. I can't think of a less likely target.

Danny Tiatto?

Neil Shipperley.

Frank Sinclair.

Really?

I'd actually be surprised if you could get a price from most bookies on Villla being sold. Interesting, though.

One of my favourite Villa related threads here or anywhere else was that one last season with Ian Taylor posing with two "Arab looking gentlemen" and the Robo inspired "ARE THESE THE QATARIS???" stuff, and them actually turning out to be two blokes who own a curry house in Sutton somewhere.

[Percy McCarthy]

Yes but they still might be buying the club. That curry house is doing very well.

[Percy McCarthy]

Incidentally, there used to be a curry house in Tile Cross called Shippee Villa. My rabid nose mate kept putting the window through because of the word 'Villa' until they eventually worked it out and changed it to 'Village'.

They are actually thinking of buying b-lose.

Any further word on the return of Whittingham or the Feyenoord guy? I thought we'd have something today after the 'breaking news' a couple of days back!

I've never actually read anything concrete about Whittingham. Just a bunch of suggestions that he told someone that he was rejoining us. The Feyenoord looks as close to nailed on as possible without him actually stretching the shirt given the club haven't denied it on the OS, the manager has actually commented on it and said he's looking for positive outcome, and the player is practically giddy about it. I'd say early next week that will be sealed.

I don't believe Randy's looking to sell, I think he's looking for a major investor though.

May have to wait until July 1st now.

The guy said it cos he knows I am a Villa fan. I have nothing further to add. He says he is taking money on it, that is all!
