Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[supertom]

I fancy this summer we'll have one push the boat out signing, like Benteke last year. Whether that's Belhanda remains to be seen. Someone with the ability to do something special in a game would be good, particularly in those games where Tekkers is quiet, or he's injured say.

[pauliewalnuts]

Of the two figures discussed, it's probably the case that the actual figure will be somewhere between the 16m and the 27m.

Westwood was less than a million.

Westwood was less than a million.

Surely at that price Crewe must have insisted on add-ons , do you think dave?

[Surrey Villain]

Please not Mbia. At QPR last season he tried to get a Villa player sent off by feigning injury. He has constantly been subbed by QPR for being idle or useless.

An add-on like Murphy would be good!

[sirlordbaltimore]

we're obviously not after Murphy or Belhandra

by my logic anyway

[ozzjim]

Both appear to be off elsewhere, so that logic appears fairly sound. Although were I Murphy, I would hold out for better than Wolves.

Who has Belhanda been linked with?

[Dave]

Al-Jazeera Club in Abu Dhabi apparently.

[eastie]

Al-Jazeera Club in Abu Dhabi apparently.

By al-jazeera or by his chairman?

If that's the case we don't want to touch him. The only good reason for going there is money, which is stupid at his age/career stage.

[ozzjim]

It is not certain he is off there yet, but they have had an offer accepted I think. He has said he wants to come to England, but I guess if his club accept an offer and tell him they want him out there is little option there.

[supertom]

Wouldn't go anywhere near any of QPR's players with a barge pole.

[oldtimernow]

Ireland would be a good fit for QPR?
