Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[gervilla]

From The Irish Lions Facebook  page :

Early next week Younès Belhanda will arrive in Birmingham to hold talks and Benteke talks will also open with Aston Villa.

Hasn't that just been lifted from one of those bullshitter twitter accounts though?
Hope it's true but I doubt it.

It's quite possible that it was.
It would be nice though, wouldn't it?

Hutton in daily record mentions along with 7 others were told they are not part of villas plans. Is this a wages issue? He asays he is in no rush to leave as he has a year left but ideally he wants a permanent move away. Hutton expects villa not to ask for a fee - he says they can't really when he's been told his services aren't required. Though i like to thing we are holding out for some transfer sum - similar with Ireland. Fair play Hutton is okay with Lambert and understands that its club decision but just wants to be playing football.
The comments leads me to speculate  who the 8 are who don't figure in clubs plans. I understand the club is going in a different direction but like to except a fee for Hutton and others rather than free transfers players think of warnock, Ireland, bent, Hutton,dunne, given makoun... 

Depends when Hutton was told he could leave. If it was during last season  then Hutton, Given, Ireland, Dunne, lichaj, Bent, Marshall and Makoun would be the 8 i reckon. If hes just been told then Hutton, Given, Bent, Ireland,, Fonz, Albrighton, Holman and Bannon would be my guess

It would be brilliant. I would hope that there would be at least one "big signing" at Villa this summer.

Benteke staying would be enough for me - well a few more unknown gems would be nice too

Fiorentina interested, so papers say.

Everybody enjoys the buzz of a big signing but seven million quid relative unknowns who are being talked about as worth three or four times as much twelve months later are quite nice too.

If he's just been told that after his loan ended, I'd say Bent, Ireland, Given, Bannan, Marshall, Delfouneso and maybe one of the N'Zogbia, Herd, Albrighton, Holman. I don't think Makoun is one of them since he's been bought by Rennes and Warnock already left.

I have mentioned this before, but a good friend of mine stayed in touch with his ex girlfriend, who was a secretary or something like that at Small Heath and she said she had known a few arrogant footballers in her time there but Bendtner was in a class of his own. Didn't he have a shirt number showing his weekly wage? Plus his off field behaviour in England and in his home country. Plus the fact he is, in Premier League terms, pretty average.

Is that the one who'd slip into Cashley Cole's hotel room whenever he was playing in the midlands?!

Belhanda thing isn't true.

He was on the bench for Morocco last night and they have another WCQ game next Saturday.

I don't think so. Wasn't that Karen Brady's assisistant? I don't think my mates ex was that high up the chain.

I got the impression the 8 who were told that they knew for some time maybe January however if its just within close season i hope one  of 8 isn't agbonlahor as hull city are rumoured to be interested in signing gabby ! I really don't expect villa to sell him as he was one of main players in team if club are going in new direction i don't think bannan and albrighton would be surplus to requirements either. Nzogbia or holman to go ? Or both depending on incoming signings !

I think it's otherway around this season than last one when we had to get rid Collins first and then get Vlaar... we'll first try to get new players in and then get rid of surpluss, don't think N'Zogbia or Holman would be hard to get rid, I can see other teams coming for them.

Regards belhanda difficult to know what to believe - French radio reports and people sayin villa reps in talks. I wonder why any other English clubs aren't linked esp as become more public he is available. Hope to get lucky with this one pull a major coup and sign him. Prince boateng is leaving Milan and not sure why belhanda would nt want to go there.. Well i think i just wait for next rumoured news on belhanda from those hear and the world media.

I've seen him linked to arsenal and  spurs but we are the only english club to firm up any interest so i understand.
