Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[tomd2103]

So how many of the new signings will be in the starting 11, come August?

Bit early to tell yet, but I would have thought Okore will a starting CB for us.

[ozzjim]

This is all going to make for a very boring July and August!

Interviews coming up on SSN.

[martin o`who??]

i`m as excited as anybody about all these signings, but i just hope the youth development doesnt start to fall by the wayside in favour of foreign signings, that aspect of the club is a huge plus for us and long may it continue.

[ozzjim]

I do hope a couple of decent English players do come in too. Murphy and Cresswell for example would probably round the squad off happily enough now.

[PaulWinch again]

Well what a brilliant day this has been, excellent stuff. I think Okore in particular is a real coup.

[Tuscans]

For Christ sake Villa, pull your finger out...it's been an hour since we signed anyone!

On a serious note I can't see us biting nails on August 31st...as thrilling as it is I like us to do our business early, as Fergie would do.

Window runs till september 2 as 31 falls on a sat. what i can see is that players may be leaving right up to window close but Villa incomings would have been all done

Yes Kicks! This transfer window seems to get extended every year but I think you might be right if in terms of outgoings.

VK on the meth's again.

Well we are talking premier league football and signings excite me but real terms that some experience is needed. Barry would be Ideal as a club captain hes a god proffesional and would add some stability. I think its vital we have someone of 30 plus in the squad team and I would rather have some one who knows the club

Would be great to bring in Murphy and Cresswell and possibly an English up and coming prospect goalie ........

It would be nice to bring in 2 wingers as width is something we lacked this season. Then there's the need for a sub GK,  left back, a solid experienced central defender, a goal scoring midfielder, a creative midfielder and a striker. That's 8 players. I would think we won't get more than 6. Probably no wingers !       

Yes i always known i speak sense it takes a while but others will see ... know exactly whats needed and the changes so far I have been in agreement with because i understand football and villas needs

I think Barry would be a backward step.  No hard feelings but we need players who can put a full shift in. Trust in Rab C Lambert.

Had to scroll up to see who had written that post after I read it. I'd have put money on a re-integrated Greg Nash, or Doug Ellis.

You're not Doug Ellis are you?
