Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[OCD]

I agree with posts above:

- a target man (Finnbogason seems the best bet I've seen)
- a pacy / strong forward option (eg Castaignos, Batshuayi type option)
- an attacking midfielder (eg Wijnaldum, Kiyotake, perhaps Maloney)

I'd still rather have Benteke. But I think something like this would be our best bet of replacing the level of threat he gave us. If Finnbogason could link up well with the pace of Weimann and Gabby, AND we could improve creativity through the middle, who knows we might even improve.

But the risks must be on the downside, both in terms of individual success and team shape.

I prefer the pacy/strong option to the target man option. Wiki says that Castaignos has been compared to Thierry Henry - that would do!

Don't hold your breath. It is reported on SSN that Middlesborough want Stephen Ireland.
Like i said, don't hold your breath.

He's 30 so we should no longer refer to him as Wee Shaun Maloney. Only young boys and girls should be called 'wee'.

i do respect you and your views even this one but i just wanna say no one on a forum or anywhere  else shud be telling someone else what they can or cant say. Unless its offensive or prejudice. You're not an authority on someone else's preference of calling maloney wee or otherwise. Thankyou.     

Ha! That's you told Kelly, you've been we'll and truly owned or whatever it is 'the kids' say these days.

It is fucking stupid calling a (sort of) grown man 'wee' just because he's Scottish and a midget though.

Do not call Shaun Maloney 'Wee'. It is Scottishist and unacceptable.

OUI  OUI  on this forum I take my precedence from  mod. Thankyou

And the Ireland news is the best footy news ive heard all day

Don't ask. He deserves to be sent to Middlesborough, whether to play football or not.

If Ireland thinks Birmingham is rubbish he's going to love Middlesbrough...

The guess they could wrap him in a big brush and use him as some kind of industrial chimney sweep.

I could compare Grant Holt to Thierry Henry, doesn't mean he's anywhere near being in the same class

Quick, someone send Middlesbrough the video of Ireland's one good season at City.
