Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

So the transfer window is open and that great literary oracle the sun lists the Villa targets as Remy, Adebayor and Defoe. Lazy lazy journalism, no insight no understanding of the journey and just plain wrong!  Perhaps the fact Benteke is listed as a Spurs target explains it!

I hear we are also in for Robbie Keane, Carlton Palmer and Danny Blanchflower.

Why didn't Barry take the penalty?

Belhanda gone Dynamo Kiev so we can all go back to never heard of him.

Is that concrete SoccerHQ ? Or just paper talk mate ?

Well he's just been unveilled alongside Jermaine Lens and Mbokani at Dynamo's stadium so pretty concrete.

I wonder what his wages will be. Truly don't think we were actually after him.

We never were. As our ITK said, "Where the story came from I don't know."

The story came from their president obviously trying to drum up interest and using our good name to suit his purpose - odious little twerp.

It's twitter talk.  Number of tweets saying he chooses Kiev - reports of him in Kiev with photos - obviously he is putting his football first and foregoing the lavish payday.... erm?

It seems like he had the choice of Ukraine or Abu Dhabi.

I'd say that he chose the better footballing option.

Wolves want Aston Villa striker Nathan Delfouneso after he was made available as part of Paul Lambert's on-going shake-up.

Boss Lambert has already signed six players this summer and released Richard Dunne and Eric Lichaj.

He will also listen to offers for Darren Bent, Shay Given, Alan Hutton and Stephen Ireland.

And now he has told Delfouneso, Enda Stevens and Barry Bannan to go too.

Wolves have already opened talks about taking former England U-21 striker Delfouneso,22, on loan.

That would be a good move for him.

[Salsa Party Animal]

if there is no interest in Premier League / Serie A / La Liga and Bungelisa there must be a good reason why the clubs are not interested in him. Let say 80 clubs can't be wrong.

The Fonz would be ok at that level but he's not for us I'm afraid

I said elsewhere that Wolves would be an ideal club for him. They're in League 1 now, but strong enough to come straight back up to the Champ. It's ideal for Fonz if he goes there as their main focal point up front. It'll give him a chance to really show himself as a goal scorer. If he goes there and scores 20 odd for them and they go up, it'll help his development no end. Another 15-20 in the Championship and he'll work his way back to the Prem, with a new club or possibly with Wolves.
Likewise, it's a good club for Bannan. I think he needs to either go to League 1 or the SPL. There he can look a cut above, and as long as he grafts too it could help him as well. I think he'd find it harder than he might think in the Championship.

The problem with The Fonz is he hasn't stood out at championship level enough to suggest he would definitely make it at there, let alone the PL.

Twitter rumours that we are in for Ba of Porto. Another CB??

Yes sir yes sir, 2 bags full.

I think that's why Wolves are a good match for him. Aside from the closeness, it's gonna be League 1. That's where he'd really need to do the business. If he can't make it there, he'll go the Stefan Moore route probably. If he scores 20 goals, he may well get a chance to have another stab in the Champ and be readier for it.

Dunno if I could see that happening to be honest. Unless Lambert doesn't rate Clark and/or Baker. He may also be wary of Vlaar's injury record.
It is Twitter though, so huge pinch of salt taken.
