Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Lambert will have his own way of how he thinks the squad can move forward and i do not think Neville will be part of that. I personally think he will be looking at the Bundesliga to adopt the german philosophy which he worked amongst in the past .....

I think there are some players who can be moved on that havent grasped their chance this season but of course to sell you need a buyer and some of our surplus players may not get much attention .

We need a quality central defender and midfielder and perhaps a wide option , but until we see what division we are in and ho moves on its hard to really be sure .

Only bent is likely to attract a decent sum of cash from the fringe players , but I'd be prepared to look at bids for bannan, albrighton, given, Ireland, Holman , and kea and release dunne and lichaj.

Nice to see the old thread return dave, its been missed

No it hasn't. Far too early for all the shite that gets spouted in here. No, I'm not a fan of this.

[Fernando Partridge]

I agree and its far too early to be suggesting Danny Murphy of Blackburn.

I see there's no mention of 'bullshit' or 'utter bollocks' in the thread title. Are these not allowed this year?

Just asking.

Anyways, if Malaga are forced to sell a few this summer I wouldn't say no to Isco.

Di Michaelis looks a good centre half but he's 32.

it's a bit early mainly because nothing can be discussed until we're sure what league we're going to be in.

Bullshit and bollocks will be added in due course.

Are you putting a stickie tag on it ?

Andros Townsend is someone I think who'd do well here.

Looked good on Sunday but I haven't seen enough of him to judge long term.

At the end of the season.

Think Spuds will be having him back for a wide role.
Someone we should definitely look at is Anderson from
united as he's available this summer

Got to agree, far too early.

[Rigadon]

Can't see Barry and Lescott being offered to us unless Benteke is on City's shopping list this summer.  If that was the case I'd be asking for Lescott and Milner.

I posted this little snippet on another thread but its worth sharing here as it gives an insight into how we scout transfer targets which I find encouraging from Steve Evans the Crewe boss-

"Clubs had monitored Ash for a long period of time. Villa came in, we thought Villa was a bit of a surprise. But then we found out that they had a thirty game dossier on him so they've done their homework; they knew what they were getting. But nobody else did, so fair play to them; they came in late with all their money and what a fantastic opportunity for him."
