Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[Mister E]

So, summarising the last couple of pages, a striker and winger are on the radar but no defenders yet targeted.
What f**k is Lambert and his team doing?!

I love the idea of tying deals up early and before trousering the cash from Bent's presumed departure.

[SoccerHQ]

Yep, I would say that's far.

Weird for the Sun to say we will sign him by the end of the week, must have an insider at VP as they got Vlaar deal spot on....eventually.

[TheSandman]

I think Tonev has been linked to Celtic for a while, maybe even going back to before last season.

[neo_Villan]

To be fair to the Sun, they aren't the worst when it comes to transfer speculation. More reliable then the Mirror and the Daily Mail anyway.

A move for Demba Savage is likely this window, press in Finland believe Southampton along with us have had him watched x amount of times, with Villa set to pounce first.

"Living in Helsinki I can assure Villa fans that this would be a very good signing. Savage can play anywhere up front and on either wings."

"He possesses excellent dribbling ability and has an eye for the creative ball. A fun player to watch. would be a great bit of business and he deserves a chance for a bigger stage like Villa"

Do you think we missed an opportunity here?
From the grauniad online:

Michael Bradley

His nickname in Italy is "the General". Bradley's selfless work in the engine room can, at times, be taken for granted but without him Roma would have been struggling this season. Instead, Roma battled for a European spot. Bradley's move to Serie A has been the making of him. The USMNT midfielder has absorbed the Italian culture and his family have settled well in the Eternal City – just check out the video above, in which Bradley shows off his Italian, talks yoga and Springsteen and gives off flamboyant hand gestures … Bradley joined Roma after helping Chievo to a respectable 10th place the previous season. In February, Aurelio Andreazzoli arrived as Roma's new manager and Bradley excelled, playing 31 times, scoring once, but his season finished on a low point, as Roma lost 1-0 to Lazio in a tense Rome Derby/Coppa Italia final. A piece of silverware would have been the perfect way to cap off this season.

[Steve R]

Isn't Austin the guy with the suspect shoulder that could go again  at any time?

Never mind beards, it's been a long time since we had Trevor Ford up front.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I don't know anything about Charlie Austin other than he's got a decent goalscoring record.

So did David Nugent at Preston before he signed for Portsmouth and managed to score 6 goals over 3 seasons.
What ever happened to him?

In a word probably NO.. his season did finis on a low point as he missed a sitter clean through after 5 or so minutes cup final...

If you want a USA midfielder its all about Fabian Johnson- would be ace to have 2 fabians in the team! Yeah!

As long as it's not Lilly 

[Mazrim]

From what i've seen of him, Austin reminds me of Dean Ashton. I'd be happy with him.

He'd have to earn his place though and currently would be behind the three amigos.
No way does Gabby miss out unless his form deserts him again.

I find it difficult to comprehend the words Demba and Savage in a footballing sense.

[JUAN PABLO]

Express and Star today report VILLA CLOSING IN ON £4.5 AUSTIN. Sounds possible. Darren to Fulham for 4mil. Sounds ridiculous.

prefer Gayle from Peterborough . He works harder than Austin
