Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[The Man With A Stick]

Before this thread switches back to transfers could I turn it into a hernia thread for a little while, had op last Saturday on hernia in groin  and although I am able to get up and down from bed/chair easier now my swelling and soreness is still very bad, is this normal?

I had one in my teens, took me about 6 weeks to get back to normal.  The swelling shouldn't last for too long though.

[Holy Trinity]

the last op i had took me 6 weeks to recover properly from (regain full mobility) i wouldnt worry to much just yet. just keep an eye on the couloration of the scars and surrounding area. yellowing means its healing blackening means it may be bleeding still and require looking at again

I often have swelling in my groin when i'm on the internet.

Shame you don't live in Luton.

 but don't find my way down there to often, mainly the airport
the M1 is always jammed through Luton J 9-10, so even though it should take me 20 minutes you have to give it a hour to be safe

my Son was on Lutons books about 10 years ago, they train right next to the motorway with the egg chasers

I've even played myself on the astroturf that was there, and scored a goal in the 'famous' goals,
the ground is without doubt the worst in the league,
 and there is a Eric Mortimer lounge, which is about as big as a box bedroom and looks like it hasnt been refurbished since 1965, with pictures of Billy Bingham on the wall

I used to visit Luton far more often when it was our nearest DVLA centre, but they closed it down a while ago, which was nice

Does anyone know where to find the Transfer thread? I have been hunting since 6AM!

Allow me to apologise for interrupting the flow of ailment and Bedfordshire talk - but this fresh in from the Twitter face.

It's is not an ITK - it is a lass called Shelley who writes (and writes well) for My Old Man Said.  She has tweeted on an Austrian media story that can be found here - http://www.laola1.at/de/fussball/oesterreich/tipp3-bundesliga/liga-facts/page/1146-32---.html

Villa are apparently interested in Senegal's SADIO MANÉ.  He plays either as a winger, second striker, or attacking midfielder.  Salzburg were runners up last year and Mane scored 16.  He is 21 - already an international - and 5ft 9' for those that like that sort of thing.

And this is his showreel - apologies for the cockney rap.

If ever a phrase could be perfectly shortened yet made more accurate then surely it is Cockney Rap.

usually near the A505 I find

He looks a good player. With him and the nailed on signing of Kiyotake we will have a formidable line up going forward.

via Google translate - plus a bit of human tinkering

Sunday's friendly in Eugene village against Metz is happening due to the transfer of Sadio Mane a year ago by the French club to Salzburg. Yet the Senegalese soon attracts more interest from England: Premier League club Aston Villa have shown great interest in the 16-time goal scorers show season.

Any translations? Be novel to read some transfer speculation for a change. Not that I'm fed up with reading about Luton, far from it.

Looks good and, apparently, he absolutely fucking HATES Luton. Sign him up.

With those already in and further speculation ongoing how far are we from having 11 new players lining up against  Arsenal?

[Phil from the upper holte]

How many midfielders do we need? I'm still worried about defence. Some nice goals though
