Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[Toronto Villa]

I think what we all want is that first defensive signing though to settle the nerves. I'm glad we are signing attacking players because we need them to push the current lot. If we get Okore it will be just superb.

[Toronto Villa]

Signing a Bulgarian from Poland and a young Dane by the middle of June. It's almost as if Martin O'Neill isn't the manager any more.

Careful now, you'll start another MON thread.

I have zero interest in EVER discussing MON again.

Lescott is 31 in 2 months and on a reported 90K a week.

And we weren't lucky last season.

That's not particularly old for a centre back.
And I've seen defences as bad as ours relegate teams before.

It is when factoring in a new contract for a footballer.

So? There was still no luck in us staying up. We stayed up because we deserved to.

And we all saw what throwing buckets of cash at experienced premiership players did for QPR.

Was that becuase they were experienced or just the wrong players?  Man Utd threw bucket loads of cash at experienced PL striker Robin Van Persie and it won them the title.

I think we need to balance things a little more with a couple of experienced players.  And I think Lambert wanted to do that last season until injury and form meant the likes of Gabby, Bent, Ireland and Dunne did not feature as much as he might have expected.

However, if we continue with youth only I'm patient enough to wait and see this side develop together.   

Van Persie was the best striker in the country, it was buying guaranteed goals, he also finished the best striker again in England last season
you cant compare him to Lescott who is not anywhere near the best CH in the country, and was made to look like a big lump of lard in the last game of the season by a average Norwich city player,
your not guaranteeing anything with Lescott, just a hope that he continues to do OK and not degenerate into the latest Villa millstone on massive wages, 

I don't think we will be signing Lescott he doesn't fit the Villa profile,

Appointing a young, ambitious manager. Shipping out the expensive wasters. Signing nothing but promising young players for modest fees. European U19 champions. Bringing through academy talent.

If we end up winning the Champion's League one day, they'll have to turn it into a Hollywood blockbuster.

Should have signed 3 today according to an ITK individual who spoke to the old fella this morning. This is what transfer windows should be like!!!!

so he's not really an ITK is he?

[villa kicks]

In talks with AaB about signing Nicklas Helenius according to the club's official website. Would've rathered Cornelius myself, but Helenius is highly rated too.

this could be a good move tell us more what role does he play attack midfield or defence? I guess he is nt a gk!?

Striker. 6 ft 5". Similar to Ibrahimovic in a way.

wow ! Zlatan is one of my top 5 players outside of Villa! This sounds promising . That was good reporting as none of English media knew about this move! Now they are all reporting it ! Good job. Esp if he scores over head kicks- i love over head kicks goals!

I'd imagine tonev is included in that , kendrick  never got a sniff of helenius so lets hope he's wrong on belhanda.

Why would the Everton chairman have a sniff?

He hangs around with a lot of actors, probably has plenty of access to cocaine.

[Tuscans]

Eventual replacement in a season or 2 for Christian in my opinion.

Big fucker though.

[villa kicks]

Well get in altidore too then i think benteke would leave ! Prob unlikely jozy is coming !
