Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

Actually caught myself sniggering Beavis-style, that is how stupid that one was!

Just been doing a bit of googling, and Rhy Williams who we were heavily linked with last summer has struggled a bit since injury for Boro this apparently, and may be a tad less expensive. 6"2 and can play right back, centre back and holding midfield. With Lichaj going, I would not be at all surprised to see us back in for him.

Lescott isn't past it, and in fairness he hasn't really been playing for Citeh.

did you see Howson of Norwich go past him on Saturday, it was the sort of defending we have been giving Baker and Clarke all manner of stick to all season, at least they have an excuse,

 all defenders will make mistakes at times, but he looked for all the world passed it on Saturday when he was wobbling all over the floor with his legs kicking around in the air as Howson stroked the ball into the net

He didn't cover himself in glory but no surprise to me Man. City looked a shambles with Micah Richards worming himself back into central defence, yet another player who thinks he can play in a position where in reality he's hopeless apart from the heroic last ditch tackle.

Liked Lescott since he was at Wolves, he would be a fine signing.

I don't think he fits in with the 'new philosophy' of the club regarding signings,
I'm not against lescott, but i'm not busting a fart out for him,

Lambert has already said 'no big signings' and I think Lescott would fit into that bracket, wrong side of 30, no real sell on value, another ageing player earning 50k + a week, I just cant see it,
I think weve been here before

I think people hang there hat on 'an interest in Dempsey' and a few older players at Norwich,
 but I feel things have changed, Lambert is set on a  new coarse and he wont be deviated from it,
I think any experienced players to Lambert will be no older than 26 maybe 27 at a push,

I could of course be reading it all wrong and we go out and bring in a couple of 30 pluses to shore things up, but thats not how I see things going at the moment

holman has to be got rid of to be honest. cant stand him as he is just utterly useless. El Ahmadi if anyone in the Dutch league wants to give us back close to what we paid for him should head off too.

Bent to Liverpool?

[David_Nab]

Nope Liverpool's board will not spend heavily on someone of Bent's age

I'd give both another season, whereas the likes of Bannan, Albrighton and Delfouneso have had plenty of opportunities now and failed to deliver, I'd rather see the back of them and maybe Herd also (if we get a new right back in) before Holman and KEA.  KEA especially, as a Lambert man will I'm sure get another crack at it next season and may come good.

KEA I would keep, but Holman is the worst footballer in Britain. Nowhere near good enough for the prem.

Nothing like an overstatement! He's not even the worst player in the Villa squad.

He is the least talented. Gives it away almost every touch, and is not even a nuisance like he was first few weeks after signing. Can't pass, rarely wins the ball, is anonymous, and shooting is only ok when he has time and space to hit it.

Holman got dog's abuse after the Fulham game, but in his short time on the pitch set up gilt-edged chances for Benteke and Delph which should have won us the game. Nobody else seemed to notice.

Some people won't notice as they like to have a scapegoat to have a go at.
Some weeks it's been Bannan other weeks somebody else.
 For someone to say Holman is the worst footballer in Britain is yet another example of this, then again some people only look for something to whinge about or follow other people's actions.

The scapegoat was Petrov for a time. Hard to imagine that now.

I don't rate Holman, but agree the comment about him being the worst footballer in the Villa squad is daft. So long as Chris Herd is in the squad.

Yes he's never the worst footballer in the Premier League.
