OK so I know it wont be popular but I see wolves have listed Henry. Yes I know his reputation but ive always thought he is a better player rhan he is given credit for. To be honest I would rather see him KEA coming on to shore up the midfield and he is 2 years younger than Barry

with all due respect sir, but what recovery step are you on?

I'm sure there's a competition to find the worst possible transfer target. Before I enter, I need to track McLeish down and get his advice.

Mat Kendrick repeating that Villa are definitely not chasing Belhanda. (He doesn't mention Henry, probably because he is laughing too hard.)

Apparantley Small Heath have accepted two bids from Premiership clubs for Nathan Redmond. Could one of them be us bearing in mind we've lost N'Zogbia possibly until the new year? Fits in with Lambert's young player philosophy i suppose.


No!

@thegoalzone: We understand the two bids for Nathan Redmond are from Norwich and Swansea.

They've accepted two bids and rejected a third. I reckon we should make a bid. At £2 million, or even if we have to pay a bit more, it would a gamble worth taking I reckon.

He's not a bad little player actually. He might be good option coming off the bench.

I hope we have first option to buy Williams back.  It would be odd if Lambert has seen enough after one senior start to just cut him adrift.

I think Williams will have seen Villa buy Okore to go straight into the squad alongside 2 other young centre-backs in Clark and Baker and realised his chances will be few and far between in th next couple of seasons.

I am surprised it's a free transfer though. I'd be amazed if we haven't got a sizeable sell-on fee in the deal though.

Was he still under contract?

I read somewhere Drennan, Burke and Carruthers have been offered new deals and Devine may go to Swindon?  It'll be interesting to see what happens with these 4.

Redmond's development potential at Villa would be far greater than at SHA so he might be worth a punt.
A Villa supporting bluenose???
Could be a 'Stefan/Luke Moore' type of player or something better hopefully

I think he is a good player with a lot of potential - think having the season with Hughton seemed to do him a lot of good. And if he signed we could finally nail this National Media lie re TSM Bluenose connections. Heskey got no stick because he was a former Bluenose just because he was rubbish - McLeish was even worse

Henry. God No! Worse than Cattermole. Is this the equivalent competition to snog the ugliest bird on holiday? Sign or suggest we sign the most inappropriate player

We already have Delph to kick people.

Just read that Cardiff seem to have Tom ince in the bag, and are now preparing a bid for Aaron Ramsey.
I quite like mr Ramsey, would arsenal consider selling ?
It would be nice to see him wearing the claret and blue.
