Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[mr underhill]

nothing contradictory in what I said. I don't believe a bid has been put in yet by anyone, and for one to ever be accepted, it would have to be straight cash not part ex. And as far as I am aware Arsenal have not yet bought a new forward, but who knows, they may buy two.

You said that if the bid's gone in the player's "as good as gone".

Confused which thread to post the benteke chat. Anyways are the above posts saying that once an official bid is placed then this will make himwant to move on even if bid not accepted? Basically are you saying benteke is one who would kick up a stinky if he doesn't get a transfer if he moves/has his way. From what i see hear and read of him and agent they seem fine with situation and respect villa and want to see what we offer him. Is the OP on this matter saying once a bid is in for benteke that's it he is leaving?? I think only club can decide if they want him and sounds like they do.

Question: Has Twitter provided any use to anybody? It's just noise and platform for idiot to post anything they want to get spun around the internet.

If Arsene decides he really wants him then there is jack all we can do about it. I don't think Arsene wants him that much though.

Its great for a bit of entertainment through the transfer window. People claiming others to be proper ITK, then a deal does not happen and they are full of shit, while another ITK knows more and they start their ITK bullshit flinging war. Fab fun.

I suppose those people could get out more. Mind you, judging by the number of people in the pub who spend their time in there just gazing at and flicking through their smart phones, they probably do.

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

Just as long as the player is Jack Wilshere

[DrGonzo]

Let's not get involved with the Twatteratri.  I could post anything on there and some desperate no mark will pick it up and run with it.... major BS.

Surely the trick with Twitter is to see who is posting said nonsense.

For example, that @ASTVIL123 or whatever his name is, who posts every third tweet about Villa, and refers to being ITK, and "asking around" on rumours, despite looking about 14, if he posted something, I'd file it under "not really likely to be true".

If Kendrick, or any other non tabloid journo, posted something, though, I would imagine there would be a far, far higher likelihood of it being true.

So, basically, it isn't "twitter is a load of crap" - that's like saying "well, the medium of ink on paper is a load of crap" - it isn't the medium, it is who is saying it.

I don't know why so many people struggle with that.

Only striker Arsenal will sign this window will be Higuain. (Rooney will go Chelsea if anywhere I reckon) They have Giroud and Podolski as back up and Walcott can play up there so that's more than enough imo.
