Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[Dante Lavelli]

I don't really think Odewingie fits the attitude profile Lambert is looking for.

No he doesn't but I'm not suggesting him as an integral part of the long term plan more a stepping stone to let Helenius improve his game (or Lambert to build a dossiers on other strikers).

[DrGonzo]

No tah Dante.  Massive tool

[Clampy]

A player who pats his team badge one week and sits in another club's car park the next should be avoided.

Former Chelsea defender Michael Mancienne could come back to england after being axed by Hamburg - cheap deal?? could do a DM and cover defence

[RussellC]

Reports that Lyon have confirmed we have made an official approach for Gomis along with Newscastle

We've made an approach for Newcastle?

[GarethRDR]

Nah, on the occasion he wasn't out injured Mancienne was shocking for Hamburg.  When your replacement is Johan Djourou, you know you're doing something wrong.

Now Mancienne is a player who really impressed me when he was younger. Can play CB or DM is quick, strong and good on the ball.

I haven't seen a lot of him since he went to Germany, but he's still only, what, 23ish?

It's not true what they say about you villa kicks. You're ok, really.

[GarethRDR]

He's 25.

I didn't rate Odemwhingee before his stunt, he only turned up for about 1 in 7 games. I scientifically figured that out.

[Drummond]

If he's been axed by Hamburg, why would we want him? Who would he replace?

There'd be such a lack of ambition in a signing like that.

A drivers mate for Sylla?

He found it hard to settle there and adjust to the german way and isnt the first to resist german ways.

I'm not so sure that he has. If anything reports are suggesting that Hamburg need to sell to raise some cash.

This is the most up-to-date news story on him from Google...

[GarethRDR]

There isn't a player in our team I'd drop for Mancienne, even considering last season's horror show.

Like Winston Churchill you mean?
