Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[Tuscans]

I'm not sure what planet the people who keep saying sell Benteke/ Bent and bring in big names ect. I assume they mean players on or demanding £80, 000 plus and wanting to play Champions League football. The reason why Benteke is going! The reason Lambert is purchasing cheap, young, low earning players.

If and when Christian leaves Lambert won't be going on a bender signing £20 million, 29 yr old players from Madrid!

the people who are suggesting kaka are doing so as madrid have made him available for loan and madrid will pay some wages as they know nobody would want him on what they are paying him and they have just signed yet another center mid for 34 million so he wont play at all there. I more than happy to buy youngsters and to be fair i'd probably not want kaka either but we do need a big player with lots of experience but we need that in the back 4 more than up top this team has goals in it without a big player but its also very poor at the back, i'd like us to sign a player with league winning experience as well as european experience there are players in the starting lineups/bench at clubs like dortmund, bayern, ac milan, juventus, Anderlecht, basle, benfica, porto who would come to us. they would help the defense out no end. i would love us to sign this guy Cheikhou Kouyaté http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheikhou_Kouyat%C3%A9
hes young wont be to expensive would love to come to the prem would have a sell on value has league winning experience as well as european and is very quick. just what we need

Was just checking on Alfreð Finnbogason who has been mentioned on this thread ,  Wiki ( leaks ?!) state that he joined Notts Forest last week for 6mil (?!) , although apparently  this is,nt so .
Judging by his stats he looks like a very useful player indeed . Spent part of his youth in Edinburgh & played junior football up there  , so certainly language would not be a problem for him .................Godzvilla!

[Matt Collins]

I'm sorry, has someone suggested Kaka?

Really?

I thought he played for Dortmund. I'm sick of Bent players anyway.

Can't understand why the name Altidore keeps appearing, he was like a shit Emile Heskey last time round...

well he is vastly improved, imho wil have a benteke type impact and have said that he would be a major  player for any epl club - people will see he is far better now.

Also Di Canio has said he is enthused about the powerhouse signing

Altidore scored only 1 in 28 Premier League app for Hull City but scored 31 times last season.



Di Canio on sunderland  website: "Altidore is one of the top strikers in Europe. He only joined us on Tuesday but I'm very happy, curious and excited because I have a very good attacking side at the moment."

Michy Batshuayi       looks pretty useful

[villa kicks]

Granted that Michy Batshuayi   does look useful!!

Other belgians to add in the mix defenders  Toby Alderweireld at Ajax and  Nicolas Lombaerts  Zenit Saint Petersburg and forward Jelle Vossen     at Racing Genk and Maxime Lestienne for club brugge

the people who are suggesting kaka are doing so as madrid have made him available for loan and madrid will pay some wages as they know nobody would want him on what they are paying him and they have just signed yet another center mid for 34 million so he wont play at all there. I more than happy to buy youngsters and to be fair i'd probably not want kaka either but we do need a big player with lots of experience but we need that in the back 4 more than up top this team has goals in it without a big player but its also very poor at the back, i'd like us to sign a player with league winning experience as well as european experience there are players in the starting lineups/bench at clubs like dortmund, bayern, ac milan, juventus, Anderlecht, basle, benfica, porto who would come to us. they would help the defense out no end. i would love us to sign this guy Cheikhou Kouyaté http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheikhou_Kouyat%C3%A9
hes young wont be to expensive would love to come to the prem would have a sell on value has league winning experience as well as european and is very quick. just what we need

You're saying big players with big experience. Why would these players want to join a club who have been in a relegation battle the last 2 seasons, aren't willing to pay wages over 60 grand (my guess) and definitely won't spend big on someone who's resale value will drop dramatically in a few years. Personally can't see it happening no matter how much Benteke leaves for.

Plus, is there really a need for this big player? Lots of young, exciting teams around Europe haven't bought one. Until we have something to offer the finished article then we'll probably be ok doing it the Lambert way...HEH!

Michy Batshuayi       looks pretty useful

He does have a touch of the Bentekes about him

your missing the point in a big player, i didnt say big named player i said big player the likes of the benders for me are big players probably out of our league but they are far from big names, same with vertongen when he signed for spurs big player but not a big name, Cheikhou Kouyaté not a big name. not gonna be on loads and wont want anymore than the average player in our squad and your "big experience" quote was not what i said, i said league winning/challenging and european now considering we have just signed okore who has league winning and european experience along with tonev and we have just been in two relegation battles that makes your point abit pointless. im not suggesting signing big names on big wages. im saying lets go get a 23-26 year old from a abroad and show some intent, okore has shown some but on his own without good cover we are destined for another average season amonge the relegation fodder.

Michy Batshuayi       looks pretty useful

He does have a touch of the Bentekes about him

He's only 19 and has a pretty good goalscoring record considering he would have been 17 when he came into the first team. I don't know what Belgians are feeding their kids but he's very much in the mold of Benteke. It's good to know that there are talents like this out there should the inevitable happen.

Be totally honest now, how many of those players have you actually seen play a full game?

Not a youtube clip, an actual game?
