Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[DrGonzo]

Daily Mail "Signing Benteke can reduce your chance of getting cancer, while also increasing immigrants.  Clubs confused about what to do"

From The Express "Benteke implicated in Diana death probe.  Sir Alex vows revenge."

From The Sun................... Chrissie B. (22) from Birmingham, says "Phew, what a scorcher !!"

Newcastle have apparently agreed a fee with Wigan for Arouna Kone, although Everton are apparently in for him too. The figure’s been reported as £6.5m, so if they don’t get him we  know they’ve got at least that set aside if they put in a bid for Bent….

Good point, Russell. Add to that Kone is slightly older than Bent and doesn't have anything like his goalscoring record.

could see Bent at Everton to be honest

Would score a shedload of goals at everton or newcastle  or many other teams for that matter.

Just read on twatter we've turned down an approach from Watford to take Gardner on loan. Didn't realise he's coming into the last year of his contract.

as long as those teams are willing to change to a system that suits Bent which is a big ask. As good as Bent is, and he is, any potential suitor needs to sacrifice other aspects of their game to accomodate.

Plus the fact he has a name that Kinnear can't possibly mangle should put the price up a bit.

I think Kinnear would keep calling him Marcus to be honest.

I don't think Martinez would sign Bent. Not his sort of player - the Boselli failure will have taught him a hugely instructive lesson.

More importantly, it's bound to have an adverse effect on house prices.

Can we stop Politicising this site? Can we stop stereotyping me that because I read certain papers I'm a racist, thick, xenophobic, benefit hating, teacher hating, public sector workers in general hater.
When I come on here to look at transfer rumours that's what iwant to look at.
The complete stereotyping is the overt racism that has become the norm just because I may have a different opinion to others. Have we sold/brought anyone today?

[RussellC]

Eh?
