Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[LeeB]

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

Swansea already have several tidy bass players as it is, so I can't see it myself.

I have nothing against Wee Barry, think he's done ok in a Villa shirt. It just does my head in that when he's off the ball, he runs like he's riding a small pony. I don't like horses.

The point with Swansea too is that they don't waste the ball, or try not to. Bannan is wasteful sometimes because his decision making isn't great.
Plus, tidy passers or not, their mids have a little more to their game too which Bannan doesn't seem to.
I personally think a drop down to the Champ would do Bannan good. Play 40 games, really try and stand out in that league, like Whitts, and come back up either with the club he's at or if he catches the eye again.

Good to hear - i like the manager doing his deals early unlike mon.

They'll wait for monday morning. You heard it here first. 

Not that I know shite.

I think we will see plenty of activity in the next few weeks as lambert homes in on his targets- wouldnt be surprised to see more arrivals from mainland Europe.

What's that supposed to prove?

It's a Facebook fan page, not his own page.

"According to The Sun newspaper, sources close to Tonev say the lure of the Premier League swung the deal for Villa ahead of a host of top European clubs."

Another dig at us from The Sun.
