Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

Isn't that Montpellier chairman completely hatstand, though?

He's always in that Observer 'Well, Fancy That!' style column, ranting about the gays or how he'll piss up the leg of his manager if results don't improve etc etc

He is the French Whelan.

Yes he is a little eccentric, but even with that I can't see there is anything to gain from saying we've bid if we haven't.

He'd probably have more to gain by bandying round names such as AC Milan or Real to scare up the Chumps League teams.  Maybe we are the only team to have genuinely bid....huh??  As conspiracy theories go it's a runner, I'm gonna get on the blower to my old mate Icke.

He was probably just hallucinating and confusing us with Arsenal.

Inter and Milan are good teams to bury your career at.

I don't see why he wouldn't prefer a move to Birmingham. We've got more miles of canal than Milan for a start. And more Mosques for that matter.

[SamTheMouse]

Belhanda is a really exciting player, although if he did come to England, I would be surprised if he didn't end up at Arsenal.

To the utter shame of Milan, they don't even have one Balti restaurant. What the hell would he eat in Italy?

Monsieur Sale Gueule.

Some of you lot might as well be speaking bloody French for all the sense you're making.

Sacre fucking bleu, Percois. It's the transfer bollocks thread.

Makes more sense than jizzing over a letter from purple nose.

That was my initial reaction and remains so. That sort of player is beyond us unless we know that the big man is off and we are looking at ways of replacing his goals in the team.

A few mentioned on here sound very much like 'Lambert type players':-

Realistically, the players already in big European leagues are probably beyond us right now, but the ones from Israel, Norway and Holland could well be on oyr radar.  In particular, I like the sound of Taleb Twatha, Yann-Erik de Lanlay and Tonny Trindade de Vilhena.

I wouldn't say the players in the big European leagues are beyond us, maybe the high profile players in those leagues. Look at Michu to Swansea for instance, there is still good value and availability in those leagues.

[Concrete John]

I was talking specifically about the younger players, but if you look at Michu's record he was a 1 in 5 striker before Swansea and it remains to be seen if he's a one season wonder or not.

I just think that the sort of young players we seem to target are not already in the PL, La Liga, etc, because if they are, they've already been 'spotted' and the price rockets.
