Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[Clampy]

Would love Lescott at the club to bring much needed experience and calmness to the defence. Cover at full back, an attacking midfielder if N'Zog goes. I am sure Lambert has already been doing his homework and hopefully there are more scoops to come like Benteke, Westwood, Sylla and Lowton.

Lescott would be ideal.

[Des Little]

In Lambert we trust.

Whelan wants 10m-15m for McCarthy (#4). Forget that!

He's not wasted any time then. He looks a good player but the right time to get him was when Wigan bought him. We should and probably will identify the next one's who we can get for next to nothing.

[Zakk Fatt]

Can't we just enjoy being safe for a couple of hours before starting the post mortem of the season?

No I don't think we can Jane, our time is now, lets get busy and sure up next season, we have left it late before and been left with the panic and shite like Ireland.  A good plan is what is needed.

I want to sign a couple of players who in their first games looked as though they couldn't trap a bag pf cement and had a first touch like a five yard pass and then went onto becoming leading scorer and a midfielder who was instrumental in the final successful run in.

I think Kone could be this years Rodallega!

We need a new midfield general, what names spring to mind?

I really can't wait to see our summer dealings now. I hope people give Lambert the benefit of the doubt now when he brings in lower-league players and unknowns from abroad.

James Milner

[DrGonzo]

The most positive point I can see going into this transfer window is that the players likely to go (Bent, Ireland, Dunne, Delfouneso, Albrighton, N'Zogbia, Stevens etc) haven't really been involved in the 1st team, and as such will not be particularly missed, except in terms of depth.  We begin this summer with a fairly decent 11, a couple of decent subs and some promising youth.  A good balance to bring some quality in and allow us to continue to grow our current crop of youngsters.

I know it is never going to happen, but just think of the incredible improvement adding a returning James Milner to this squad would make.

[Ross]

I reckon the return of Barry would be ideal for the midfield general role. Surely on his way in a clear out?

That thought crossed my mind earlier.

That's going in tonights over-stuffed wank bag.

I'm sure that I read earlier in the season his deal has 18 months to run, and he hasn't been offered fresh terms.
Coupled with his age I think he'd be sold at a reasonable price.
