Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[eastie]

@MatKendrick: Samir Carruthers, Graham Burke and Mikey Drennan have all signed new #avfc contracts

[PaulWinch again]

Interesting to see if Carruthers starts to get involved.

[villa `cross the mersey]

According ta carrier pigeon in Yorkshire he is having medical and discussing terms before signing for Leeds this morning.

According t`carrier pigeon in t`Republic of Yorkshire, he is having t`medical and being told his terms before being told to sign for t`Leeds this very dawn. Whippet and flat cap are part of t`deal.

@MatKendrick: So Crewe midfielder Luke Murphy has joined Leeds then. Villa have had him watched, but were not quite keen enough to make a move #avfc

I m watching brasil espana and absorbing affair intensity of crowd. Anyway my point is have villa ever had a Brazilian player ?!! I dont ever recall any - i also dont think Lambie would take a Brazilian player which is a shame!

he tried to sign coutiho in jan before he went to liverpool so he would defiantly sign a brazilian

countinho was pure rumour like belhanda lambie doesn't afford this sort mainly his hands are tied but he ain't one for mavericks.

Twatter rumours that Arsenal have bid £22m + a player for Benteke

[mr underhill]

if they have, and I don't believe a word of it, then the guy's as good as gone. just a question of money. it always is

I don't ever see Lambert accepting a deal for a player, irrespective of his quality that he hasn't done extensive work and research on. The Stephen Ireland nightmare aside, Lambert seems to go out of his way to find specific types of players/personalities and the last thing he's going to want is someone else's disgruntled cast offs.

[mr underhill]

could not agree more. If Benteke goes it will be for cold hard cash only and lots of it

I think Coutinho has the same agent as Belhanda, too.

I'm not sure he has no time for mavericks, it's just we aren't at the stage in the squad's redevelopment where such signings make sense.

As good as gone?  I don't think so, he's contracted to us for another three years. If we don't want to sell him, we don't sell him - and I reckon we don't want to sell him.

[mr underhill]

I really hope you are right but if the right offer comes in from the right type of club I honestly think he  and/or his agent will agitate enough to force a move. I want him to stay a Villa player for at least another season but 30m plus add ons from a CL club will be very hard to ignore on both sides.

Aren't you contradicting yourself there?

Modest spenders Arsenal are going to buy Higuain and then Benteke too, are they?
