Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

Will we have a shirt big enough for Okore?

There are a number of ITK on twitter claiming it is happening today too, and last week your Sat am at 7.30 for Tonev was after the Bulgarian press had said it was almost done. Give us a scoop on someone before the press are basically reporting it as done and there might not be people raising eyebrows to your predictions Dan.

Why not danny boy pass the bottle

IF Okore is completed today/tomorrow/in the future, I just wonder how much of an influence Laursen has been throughout the proceedings?

As a player who loved the club more than anything else, with the Danish nationality, he could certainly trip some of the balance - in the same way that Petrov could do too.

I'm also very encouraged that he has turned down a move to Chelsea claiming he doesn't want the money, and that he wants to play football. It's a very refreshing attitude than the modern game has bred, which is really great to see. Looking at the list of clubs he's been linked to too though, if he does sign for us, it'll potentially be a pretty major coup.

I've got a lot of optimism about this forthcoming season. If we can keep Benteke, Tonev provides the goods, Okore and Helenius sign, then I think realistically, we could be into a European challenge next season. We have got so much potential - which at times we saw last season. This next season is the one where we can really grow on the basis of the last, and hopefully, we'll be looking at a really good season.

Random daydreaming, not really relevant to this thread, but thought I'd share it anyway!

I do not have that much advanced knowledge, unfortunately. I only know anything if said player goes into Bodymoor, not the minute the press get a whisper. At least it is something though, not just idle rumours. Sorry for not being able to look into a crystal ball or read the stars. What do you think my name is, Russell fucking Grant ? Mystic bloody Meg ?

Surely what matters here ps that if okore signs its a great signing for us and will sort a lot of our defensive problems- who knew or didn't know about it first is neither here or there - lets just be happy with the signing if it is confirmed today.

Get in a yellow suit and learn to fly and I will give you Russell Grant status. Before then, you are more like the horror scopes in the Daily Star!

And what you do with Mystic Meg is totally up to you but never speak of it on here!!

but if you used twitter for your ITK you would be wrong 95% of the time

I agree it is good, but I think hoping a 20 year old will sort it all out back there is very optimistic. I think we are more solid due to the formation and midfield, but I still think we will ship 50 or so goals next season.

50 goals would be quite an improvement and probably result in a top 8 place though ozz .

Nothing wrong with Mystic Meg. I was hoping for a Sun rating on the horror scopes though.

So are you still sticking to your story that Tonev was at Bodymoor at 7.30am on that Saturday morning?
