Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[neo_Villan]

Fair point paul_e but he has looked nothing short of a mercenary in a QPR shirt. He has shown no fight, desire , passion or effort at any point this season. Ask any QPR fan whether he has had even one good game this season and they will reply in the negative. At least he had some good games at Blackburn. Even N'Zogbia looks up for it about 50% of the time.

I agree he's been crap, but can that not just be because he's been crap?  Samba I can agree is a mercenary, he's taken the club to the cleaners, with alleged clauses to make sure he gets a big fat pay off for helping relegate them, Hoilett has just been a bit rubbish.  On top of that if Gladbach offered, lets say, 30k and qpr offered 50k and were telling him that they planned on pushing for europe (their spending suggests they were aiming for much more than relegation, they just spent badly) is he really so bad to take the big money?

There is a reason that QPR fans call him Junior Toilet. Out of all their mercenaries, he has been the worst. Hasn't contributed anything at all. Exactly the type of player we don't want to see in a Villa shirt. Having Ireland on our books is bad enough FFS!

I really liked him at Blackburn and thought he had the makings of another Ashley Young. Looks like his career has declined chasing the money but he's still only 22 so not a lost cause.

Yes to Olsson, better than what we have in defence.

[cheltenhamlion]

Fuck that. I can't stand the Olbiyun goon.

[eamonn]

Fuck that. I can't stand the Olbiyun goon.

Amen brutha.

Olsson would be OK, but even at £3.75m you could probably go straight to source and get a younger overseas CB just as good for that sort of money, plus less wages.

[evalast1910]

Anyone mentioned Robson-Kanu from Reading? Flog N'zog and bring him in; cheaper wages, make money on the fee and more importantly a better player.

[barrysleftfoot]

 We need better players than Robson-Kanu imho.A player to put pressure on Weimann and Gabby.

Olssen was at fault for every Wigan goal yesterday. The cheating, usless twat.

[Mazrim]

Don't see the fuss with him anyway. Far better options around than him.

[eamonn]

I'd rather we got the Olssen twins than their lairy, dirty, Scando cousin.

[paulcomben]

Has anyone spotted good young players in the Championship or League One teams, playing in the positions where Villa need strengthening? Centre back, full back, attacking midfielder. Tom Ince, Harry Maguire, Alan Judge, Luke Murphy, Patrick Madden, Kieran Trippier, Yannick Bolasie....

[villa kicks]

Thomas Ince would be ace signing replace nzogbia any day ! Defender Lees of Leeds and Perkins Barnsley, Midfielder Jonny Williams of Palace, will Hughes and Jeff hendrick of derby, Bridcut brighton, Henry lansbury forest, Wingers Redmond of Birmingham Adomah bristol city Stanislas burnley and Matty Phillips of Blackpool all capable. My fave 2 strikers in championship are Charlie Austin and Chris wood both would be good replacements  for Bent.

Ince would be a good signing, but is going to be costly.  Have seen Will Hughes play a few times and have to say that for a 17 year old he looks a real talent.  Very good on the ball and surprisingly strong for someone who is a little on the small side.  Same goes for Williams at Crystal Palace.  Seen him play for Wales and he looks a very good prospect who can play wide and in a more central attacking position.  Not so sure about Austin and Wood.  Wood hardly got a look in at the Albion though he has been a fairly consistent goalscorer in the Championship for some time.  Probably better going abroad for a striker.

I think the front three would really benefit from having an attacking midfielder who can really put a ball in, especially from a set-piece. The fact we have some genuine monsters in the team and have only scored from two corners is poor.
