Reading those quotes, I imagine him in chunky knitwear staring moodily across the Skagerrak, musing on the fabled greatness of the Villa

the last thing we need is another bloke turning up to sign for the club in a fancy sweater. You do recall how the last one ended up don't you?

Can we send Mellberg and Laursen to tell him all about the Villa? I'm sure they'd give us a good reference.

20 year old central defender for over 3 million from Denmark would give the impression, based on the fee, that he is pretty highly rated. Linked heavily with Man united last season, and did well against Chelsea in the champions league according to the write up I have just read.

Got to love the links so far. No one over 25, and all seem to be pretty highly rated in their own places.

agreed. Not one link with the exception of Defoe which we can discount entirely as wishful thinking bollocks has made me go, hmmm...now that's interesting..Young up and coming players who want to play in the PL and have a bright future. Not one Jermaine Jenas type or any number of players from English football's overpaid has-beens list.

I think it's testimony to the sheer hypocrisy of football fans - myself included - that if Belhanda and this Danish bloke talk up moving to Villa whilst at their current clubs, we take it as an encouraging sign.

In two years, when they're saying similar things about Man U, we'll accuse them of being ungrateful, money grabbing bastards.

Jores Okore is playing for Denmark tonight against Georgia. He is quoted having said today "there have been mentioned so many clubs, but Aston Villa sounds interesting". He and his agent are not aware of a bid from Villa, but according to the agent, they will propably not be informed by his club, FC Nordsjælland, before a bid has been accepted. According to the Danish paper, a bid of around 3 million pound was rejected, but Villa are expected to come back.

I would like Okore at Villa. He is far from the finished article, but he has lot of potential. He is very strong and I think the Premier League would suit him.

Thank you for the insight!

One of the few Danish players to look half decent tonight.

He did OK in the wankfest league, but like a lot of FCN players got found out a bit when trying to play a bit too much football against far superior oposition.

In terms of footballing philosophy I can see why Lambert might be interested.

P.S. Andreas Cornelius has looked absolute gash tonight (in my opinion) he has developed the knack of showing excellent movement to come away from where the ball has just been played to, or move in tight to a defender just as the ball is played up to him.  Scoring shedloads in the Danish Supaliga doesn't prove a lot, especially when you're playing for FCK.

11 new players, are you mad?

So popov, belhnda, tonev, murphy, sinclair and mcgeady all play as attacking midfielders, either wide or central, 2 from those 6 is the max.

Jensen and Rudd - We have one of the best keepers in the league from last season and one of the most highly rated young goalkeepers in europe and you want to sign 2 more - I think there's a good chance we'll sign 1 though.

Cresswell I can go with but I think someone who can play left and right is more likely.

Altidore I disagree on the choice but I agree with the role.

A new centre back is one we clearly need (only 1 though because Baker and Clark are good enough to not be dismissed), Pearce is the only one of the names given who is premier league quality and he's only barely that.

It always amaze me when people saying things like we need to get that Popov or that Tonev bloke in, he's just what we need yada yada, when really, unless they're keen watchers of the Polish league, they have actually made that decision based on a youtube compilation some teenager has put together of their best bits, or they play a lot of Football Manager.

You deserve a ban for suggesting we sign Sean St. Ledger alone. He's an abomination!
