Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

Leandro Bac-who-na?

[N'ZMAV]

Getting 2 wingers in will allow us to use Weimann and/or Gabby in a central role.

This is the best transfer window ever.  The wife has already asked when the transfer window is shutting so I can talk to her again. August 31st of course!

Not used to Villa getting players in early before pre-season training starts.

I know that not all of these supposedly linked players will be joining us, but it' good to see that the club is so actively involved in trying to get them in early.

ITSOTP or at BMH.

A word of caution, though that these players are still untried and untested. Good prospects definitely and itsgreat work of the club to be looking at transfers straight away. We're not resting on laurels and going on our holibobs. But, if we want to avoid a repeat of the last few seasons then we need more steel, more strength, and more experience in the team. We finished the season brilliantlybut there's no guarantee we'll click at the start of the new season. adisappointing run could hit confidence. The team needs experience in the rightareas. especially the back and probably midfield. That is thetrick for this summer.

I agree with that entirely.

I don't.

The template, the ethos and the belief is in place. The new and expected signings all have some experience behind them, and they haven't got to come straight into a side still recoiling from McLeishism.

We're gonna tear shit up next year.

He won't got to Everton, Martinez doesn't sign quality defenders

Too right.  Keep your fingers cross this happens.

It's only been a few weeks since the football has finished but I'm really enjoying this years transfer watch. Beats the days we had to wait until August 29th under MON for the sniff of a new player arriving.

Personally I don't care where a player comes from and if he costs 10 pence, I have the full faith in Lambo and his scouting team as he unearthed some gems last season and I think he's doing it again.

Even Gobbie Savage might not have us to go down next year.

Been out all day...did we sign okore today? Is he actually in the country yet?

I'm in this camp. Evolution not revolution. The Lambert philosophy is based on the development of youth and that's what we're doing. No good looking for mercenaries and older players. Truly, we will tear shit up next year.

Drinking wine in the Moulin Rouge
Sipping coffee in Berlin
He might take in the coloured lights
In the city they call Sin
He can see the writing on the wall
Ten feet tall.

No idea where that is. A quick google search sent me to campanile Birmingham which is somewhere on the canal. And looks pretty nasty on the old trip advisor.

That's a welcome and a half to Birmingham if true and I've got the right place. Is someone on a wind up?
