Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[danlanza]

According to SSN Lambert wants Demba Ba if Benteke goes. It's in the transfer column and not from Bodymoor.

[Ron Manager]

Demba Ba has done well over here apart from Chelsea where he looks out of place. Hasnt he got long standing knee trouble though or something like that?

[Clampy]

I've said this before but the trouble with Ba is that if he had a really good season he'd want to move on.

I think SSN are barking up the wrong tree.

Robin Van Persie was alright  I suppose.  That Ruud Van Nistelroy had his moments. Ruud Gullitt too. Though to be fair I always preferred Dennis Bergkamp - who was of course - not a patch on Patrick Kluivert or indeed Marco Van Basten - and none of them ever matched Johann Cryuff - but I take your point.

Not had chance to read this before now...

Van Persie and Bergkamp - neither can be called a goal poacher so not relevent.
Ruud Gullit wasn't even a striker
Cryuff wasn't a striker and never played in England
Van Basten never played in england
Van Nistelrooy accounts for the inclusion of the 'generally' at the end and...
Kluivert scored 6 in a season and kinda sums up my point.

There was a night in the late 70's when he played 80 minutes at Villa Park - greatest performance I have ever witnessed there.

Couple of suggestions today that we're in for Sam Bryam, young Leeds RB

Demba Ba is a striker in the mould of Darren Bent, good goal scorer but nothing else.

And for me that's a recommendation.Jimmy Greaves and Lineker ? Not saying that Ba or Bent are in their class but a good goalscorer is a valuable commodity.

Yes but we have one in Bent and we don't want him, so I can't see Lambert wanting to sell him and then bring in a player who is very similar.

Greater than Brian on a good day?

A friend living in Japan emailed me to say we are buying the Nuremburg player.

Looks like that woman on twitter did have a contact.

No she didn't. She read somewhere that we were after a player who hasn't signed yet and went off on one.

I agree that she went off on one, but don't know her so have no idea if she has a contact or not.

Anyone who did have a contact and behaved like she did wouldn't have a contact for much longer.
