Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[supertom]

Surprised it's a free transfer even with the wages.

Doesn't surprise me really. I couldn't see anyone paying much for him at all. I guess with a few of our dead wood players we'll try as best we can to get rid quickly. I can't see Ireland commanding much, if any sort of fee.
Even if we'd have put a 500k pricetag on Holman we'd not have many people knocking down our door to get him. He works hard but ultimately he's a bit bobbins.

I think Petrov should tell to work in a burger van

Does surprise me a little because he was obviously making an impact in the Dutch league and for Australia before he signed for us.  It didn't work out for him here but it seems a really big drop down to go on a free to a footballing backwater like the UAE.

He's 29, and clearly shit, so getting paid shedloads to lol about in the desert seems a smart move to me.

And now on BBC3.... The Big stan theory.

- Uncle Stan. I cannot believe how much English pay me to kick ball. What is catch?

- Wait until you buy beer. (Laughter).

- But you tell me not drink. Look after body.

- I told you that in front of your mother. You are like Mork. You will learn.
Everything costs big money here.

- My agent says I need to spit roast girl in London hotel to supplement wages. He says Sunday papers pay big money for scandal. Maybe then I can afford beer in Broad street.

- Igor is not to be trusted. He would sell his own mother into prostitution to make a quick buck.

- This is not true. You don't have to pay for his mother. He mugs you on the way out. (Laughter)

- How do you know this? Dirty young man!

- erm.... Gabby tells me this.

- Igor wouldn't bother mugging Gabby. All his wages are direct debit to CSA.

Part two:

Stan: Mr Randy has appointed Small Heath coach to be boss.

Series cancelled due to ridiculous storyline.

[Mazrim]

- Anyway, where is Gabby. I thought he was coming for English lessons.

- He still hasn't done his homework from last time. (Laughter). But seriously, he is sad so is staying home tonight.

- Sad? Is not like him.

- He met Joe Kinnear at dinner function and Joe had heart attack trying to pronounce his surname.

- Is it fatal?

- No, Agbonlahor.

The Daily Mail reporting we are interested in Elliot Bennet (Norwich) I cannot transfer link ..........

The Daily Mail reporting we are interested in Elliot Bennet (Norwich) I cannot transfer link ..........

Here you go.

Paul Lambert could be bucking the trend of his summer transfer work so far by buying British as he returns to Norwich City for midfielder Elliott Bennett.
So far during this close season, the Scot has shunned domestic purchases in favour of overseas targets.
But it appears that the final piece of Lambert's jigsaw could be closer to home than the five signings he has made since the season's end.

He intends to return to Carrow Road for the midfielder who has only one year to run on his present contract with the Canaries.
Bennett has played in 56 league games for Norwich since his move in the summer of 2011 when they were promoted to the Premier League.
So far Lambert's acquisitions have included Aleksandar Tonev for £2.5m from Lech Poznan, Jores Okore from Nordsjaelland, Leandro Bacuna from Groningen, Nicklas Helenius from Aalborg and Antonio Luna from Sevilla.

do the newspaper know we will need no 2 goalkeeper yet

[ciggiesnbeer]

I cant see the the Norwich chairman selling us anybody. As Lambert said "I cant buy air in Norwich now."



 

[villan from luton]

Is this Bennett not a wide player, would have thought we have enough now

[ozzjim]

I quite like Bennett as a plyer, quick, tricky. Useful option if true. Still want Murphy and a right sided defender more though.

[villan from luton]

Ozzjim, is he a wide player, I am honestly not sure? If so, aint we got three of the new signings who can play there?
