Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[SoccerHQ]

Think Stevens will be like Lichaj and sign for a championship club by the end of August.

I think we'll wait til we play Shamrock Rovers before off-loading Enda. Face-saving exercise for the lad. Gives him a few more weeks to fill his boots with Olney's sister's foolish mate and then he can sling his hook and move to Bray Wanderers.

players wages will be the death of the game
my Son used to play football with a lad who now plays for Bristol City, who I think are a middling div 1 side,
the player was back home last week and they went out for lunch,
 he arrived in a top of the range Merc and earns 6k a week, and its still 24 grand a month, which I know is chicken feed for a prem player, but its still bustingly good for a 22/23 year old reasonable at best footballer

I don't begrudge him, he's a nice lad to be fair,
 but footballers wages are just sky high, its the clubs managers and administraters that I blame, there might be a lot of money being pumped into the game, but most clubs are still living beyond there means and are massively in debt

Don't want him back, wasn't he one of the players involved in the 'roasting' scandals?

Ends Stevens has been banging one of my sister's mates. Bit of a twat apparently.

Everybody's done her. Even Stevens.

I-rish you hadn't started on the puns.

As the club previously stated - we are not in for Belhanda - the Premier League bid has apparently come from Arsenal - who are prepared to meet the Moroccans lavish wage demands.

[sonlyme]

well the news broke a few days ago and nothings happened either end so i doubt this one will happen. he might be back up if plan a fails

Sry mate - must have missed your post about it.

Hopefully this information won't be old hat.

Villa reported to have made inquiries about David Henen - Belgian wunderkid.  Currently at Anderlecht but yet to break through.

Little video - and no Jap Rock - which is disappointing - but instead I present you with a Daily Mail article.

Which is always disappointing.

I'm happy being linked to young Belgians.  Their clubs have clearly found a good formula for developing talent in the last few years, too many top drawer players have come through together for it to be a fluke.  Add to that if they're under 18 they'll count as home grown when they're older, making them easier to keep in the squad and worth more money to other sides in the league.
