Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[DrGonzo]

Bannan to Swansea is it? Lovely...

He'd be a good fit there, but I still think there's a future for him here.

Totally disagree Tom, think he would be out of his depth  whether playing for villa or swansea.

He's done a lot of wrong, but at times he's shown there's a good player in there, and I'm convinced that with the right attitude he could be a very good player. I could easily be wrong, but I've always rated him and still do - even if he can be one of the most infuriating footballers to watch.

Problem is he doesn't seem to have the right attitude.

[Mazrim]

Pretty sure he'll go to one of the old firm and do well. Maybe worzel will take a punt on him at Palace.

Better suited to a continental league IMO. Preferably Spain.

Alongside Argentinian Bannan and Neymar?

Been told Will Hughes from Derby wants to join us, but Derby want 10 mill for him

This could be a runner. Lerner's jet has been spotted at Donnington airport.

No chance I know Will personally; his sister and I are very good friends. When he got me tickets for the Derby Hull game at the KC I asked him if he wanted to sign for Villa; he's a Liverpool fan and said he would only sign for them if he was going to go to the Prem. If not stay at Derby or go aboard.

Do he know how much Derby might ask for him ? (Wil)

I'm sure he wouldn't turn down arsenal or man utd to stay at derby ?
He is a footballer and surely would want to play at the highest level be it at villa or elsewhere?
He may be a Liverpool fan and i do not question that you know him but I'm sure if a club came calling he would rather double his wages at a higher level and in any case derby would want the money.

If he did really say he would only go to Liverpool in the prem or stay at derby then hes probably not  the sort of character we need - hardly hungry and ambitious.

he would say that though wouldn't he so to dampen any speculation - its a standard answer from young players. I think your ll find he would move to any club deemed suitable to his progress and development. The club, his advisors also have a say in a player transfer- think is i dont think villa are in position to spend 10 mil on one player whose not established in the top league. Unfortunately again there are cheaper alternatives in the European leagues or league 1

Steve has it got 'The Spruce Goose' stencilled on the fuselage?

[villa kicks]

There's another derby player Jeff hendrick who seems pretty useful too. Unfortunately he supports a league of Ireland team and will only move there

[Percy McCarthy]

This is why we can't get rid of Ireland. He supports Warwickshire CCC and will only move there but is absolutely shite at cricket.

Although pretty admirable, if that's the case, he's certainly narrowing his options.
I think it's one thing saying what he did and another turning down a chance to play in, what could be, a very special team in the making.

[olaftab]

I don't like the idea of Bannan leaving until we have determined behind doubt that he will not make it at top level for us. Keeping him here this season should do that.

[Mazrim]

Bannan will only leave if he's guaranteed the bass guitar gig with Biffy Clyro. I regularly play Battleships with his aunt.

[Bully2345]

Time for Bannan to move on. I defended him at Christmas when he was our only option and was getting all sorts of stick. I still think there's a question mark as to his desire to really make it so time to cash in while we can and move on.

Swansea would probably be a good fit for him so good move for all parties
