Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[SoccerHQ]

Someone like Westwood for a million or two from Sunderland will be a decent keeper back up for us.

I'd also get someone in like Jon Riise for a season or two.

Bennett has improved but it's important we have another premier league option for LB for the periods when Bennett goes shite and Riise would fit into Lambert's way of playing.

Kone would be a good signing and replacement for Bent imo.

Think he's scored 9 or 10 for Wigan this season.

Reminds me of Gabby a bit in that his touch can be off at times and he can be devastating on other occasions. He'd also fit in well with our attacking system with his movement and pace.

Hello Len.

Less of your cheek y'little bollox.

Address him by his proper title ya little bollox!

Thomas Muller, Lionel Messi and Buffon should all be signed. This will demonstrate once and for all that Villa has 'ambition'.

[Tuscans]

That Luke Murphy doesnt look a bad player at Crewe. Since I heard us linked with him in Jan I checked up on him this season and even though he's another young inexperienced player he looks a steal at 2-3 million.

I reckon we might of targeted another unknown big powerful forward from somewhere incase Benteke gets cold feet in a few seasons.

Another vote for Kone and dare I say it, Maloney...

I don't think Maloney will fit into Lambert's way of doing business simply because of his age now. Shame we couldn't/didn't get more out of him when he was here.

I am already fed up of hearing how this club or that club is going to sign Benteke

Only seen him twice, but he looks like he could settle into our midfield happily enough. I hope that other clubs are not now following Lambert and Karsa round like sheep dogs though.

We need goals from midfield and Murphy looks like he has some in him.

Maloney a good shout

[SoccerHQ]

Maloney would start kicking off about how much he hates Birmingham again the moment he signed so stay clear even if he's also been a clever little player.

Would be happy with Kone. Thought he was younger than 29 but then again Dempsey was persued last summer and he's the same age.

[neo_Villan]

Age is the reason I'd vote against Maloney and Kone.

[SoccerHQ]

Kone would fit into our system quite well I think, he could play the Gabby or Benteke role when either are unavailable.

How much did Wigan sign him for?

[Hoppo]

Maloney has had about 6 good games his time with us has gone. Move on to younger and more hungry players.
