Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[ozzjim]

He has fallen out with them and is out on loan at Derby isn't he?

I think he is as nailed on as you can get with Lambert, and lets face it, none of his signings so far have been at all predicted or predictable.

I only heard Martin on the radio, I was blissfully unaware Norwich had 2! Apologies.

Got your Martins mixed up Ozz mate.  Chris Martin is on loan at Derby.

I thought Chris Martin was still playing for Coldplay?

[N'ZMAV]

I read somewhere PL was looking at going back to Norwich for his old left back Russell Martin.  He scores plenty of goals, so would be a reasonable investment & an improvement on the current stock.

Right back.

[DerHammer]

I think we have had our transitional season...

any lambert buys now dont need to gel as a group.. they are improving on what we have so we dont need PL experience or a desire to pay over the top for players...

I think we can add to the existing team like we did last summer without the experience worry now... and i am proud of that fact!

Spot on

[JUAN PABLO]

Will Grigg is only 6 months or so younger than Benteke, so not sure if he falls into the 'kid' bracket.  If Walsall go up (which'd be fantastic), I'd stay there another year & take my chance.

I thought he was right back  and plays center back  .  But still a good signing to have.

Read from somewhere, we are intetested in Flamini.

Probably recycled from years ago.

[Damo70]

The Flamini link is on Skytext but it is on the 'newspaper stories' page. Apparently ourselves and Southampton are after him, but at 29 and available on a free I would be surprised if a few more aren't after him too.

Chris Martin is my son. He's a fine footballer - plays 5 a side every week.

Now I'm confused.  So which Chris Martin are we after?  The musician, the Derby county chap or berneboys lad?

New Zealand bowler?

Yes, it's between us and Southampton.  Apparently.

[manic-road]

So according to todays Sunday People Villa are set for a move for Troy Deeney at Watford and Norwich are targeting Brett Holman.

[ozzjim]

And Luke Murphy at Crewe is a target too.

Not seen Deeney play so no idea what he is like.

Going forward though we need a pacey wide man that will be able to cover/compete with Gabby and Weimann, that has a trick.

[Steve R]

We were linked with Deeney a while back. Could be a rehash of old news. Don't know anything about him other than he has been released by both us and the Queen.

[BILL DE VALL]

Troy Deeney was featured on Footy Focus -sounds like a Brummie -did 10 months for affray-is scoring goals for Watford (and isn't from Udinese)
