Also were bracing ourselves for a bid from Spurs for Benteke, Apparently according to the Mail, if we brace ourselves any longer we'll pass out

I've been holding on to chairs, hand rails, anything fixed or nailed down for about a month now. I've also got one of those "I'm bricking it" facial expressions at the ready to go with my grip once the bid arrives.

To be fair, it's not 'according' to the Mail. It's in there 'rumours' section. Where they print transfer gossip of the day

Haven't got a problem with Benteke going to Spurzz , as long as its a swap for Bale .

Despite twitter being awash with people claiming we have offered the release clause Kiyotake, Pete Colley from SSN has tweeted that it is the same situation as Belhanda and there is no interest.

you almost get the sense that if a potential deal becomes public there was no truth in it to begin with. The exception this summer being Helenius but that had something to do with the Danish stock exchange. Our deals for the most part become public knowledge through more official sources almost at the point of closing.

Pete  colley didnt tip any of our 6 signings so far and he has little idea whats going on , would be nice if we could get the lad in as he looks to be what we need.

Reminds me of the time david Craig told Ssn there was no way bent would go to villa from sunderland - at the same time bent was having a medical at little aston .

Colley has a poor record when it comes to villa scoops.

Think I'd rather give Herd a go at right back rather than bring Hutton back in. Bacuna has also played full back before apparently, so maybe he'd be able to cover.
The sooner we ship out Hutts the better. Not purely for his leg breaking maniacal streak but to get his wages off the books most of all.

Hutton chops?

Maybe if he put on a pair of specs he could be hutton dressed as lamb :)

Hutton dressed as Lahm?

That pun has just won the internet!

It's been done before.  Can't remember who it was that came up with it.


....ahem.

According to Kendrick we have enquired about Kiyotake, but he doesn't know much else.
