Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[paulcomben]

No way Scharner. Yes please the 3 midfield Maccas, for the money they are actually worth, plus Kone.

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

Whelan won't let him come to us, we are a small club... he can only go to Manure.

or Real Madrid

Think the red scouse shite were after McCarthy last summer, no doubt they will be back after him. Kone is good, would be an asset for the squad.

[Zakk Fatt]

The releif I feel tonight is immense, that was a close one.

The question is where do we go from here?  Paul Lambert has stuck with the youngsters and is building a team that in the last 5 games is starting to gel and show promise.

What do we think the next few months will hold for the club? Are we going to strengthen massively or stick with what we have got?  Undoubtedly we have a decent bunch of good players but we can hardly call this season's squad the complete article.

Benteke and Lowton have become revelations and Bennett shows such promise. Bannan is definately a squad player, Vlar is fairly strong, Guzan's saves have kept us up along with Benteke's goals assisted by Wiemann and Gabby.

I think we have a good squad here and the supporters have been brilliant in supporting them through this transition but where are our gaps, I think these youngsters can bring us success and I am starting to have a lot of hope for the coming season, do others agree? I know we have some gaps this is plain but which players would you bring in and what strategy do you think the club should have going forward?  Interested to hear your views.

Once again....phew.

Nobody from any of the relegated teams please. They will be overpriced.

More ambitious players from the lower leagues/ lesser foreign leagues... oh and a good experienced central defender please.

[Lambert and Payne]

We add quality to the areas we need, a new centre back would be nice, not a massive fan of "concrete Ron," we tie up contracts for Benteke and Wiemann and send out scouts looking for the next Benteke when he gets a 35 mill move to someone like Manure.

I hope Lambert keeps as much of the squad together as possible, the kids have potential but they need guidance and experience that will only come through playing games, were on the up

[SoccerHQ]

Kone would be a decent signing to keep Gabby on his toes and make him produce than than two months good form a season.

[andyaston]

I think we need a centre half, someone like Lescott. Also, in midfield we still have to have an attacking type who can get on the score sheet. Delph, Westwood and Sylla have played well in the last few months but none of them have goals in them. Look at Lampard, Gerrard, Mata, Corzola or even Fellani, they all score goals from midfield which takes the load off the strikers.

Cover in both full back positions would be a help. If we keep Benteke then we don't need improving up top.

[Duncan Shaw]

A nice quick treble signing next week, Benteke and Andi new deals plus someone like Lescott would be a great start!

[Jane]

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

Can someone order a taxi for the Irish mob? Destination anywhere.

[villan from luton]

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.

[phantom limb]

I don't think raiding Wigan is the answer. Whelan will want ridiculous money for any of their players, and I don't think any of them are all that good anyway especially considering we could just buy someone else who hasn't just been relegated.

[Louzie0]

Absolutely relax. Great feeling at the end of this season and everything to look forward to in August. UTV!

Clark and Stevens are worth another go (Stevens as cover).
