Has anybody mentioned Bannan is off to Blackburn?

What? Where? Please say it be true.

Thanks.

No worries.

Why am I having a conversation with myself on a forum.

I don't know but I think I should stop.

He is injured I think, although he's played for Bruce before at Wigan and Bruce wanted him at Sunderland, so Hull always looked like they might go for him.

It's not.

If he is coming, it's welcome news. I don't know much about him but traditionally, if you want classy defenders you look in Scandinavia or Italy. This guy is a regular Italy U21 player so must have something about him.

As an aide, its like our scout has travelled the continent, picking up a player in each country like some quest from an old fantasy film. I'm thinking Hawk the Slayer.

Go to Germany next brave scout. Find the destroyer. Then take the boat to the land of the rising sun. The magician awaits!

not knee jerk and I know money doesnt guarentee success etc but has anyone got a sniff on how much transfer money we have to spend. I appreciate lamberts policy is young and hungry but we really havent spent much at all. You can buy young, hungry and proven....examples such as eriksen, mccarthy, zaha spring to mind. You may think we dont have much pulling power to the very top prospects but we can offer the lure of first team rather than squad football...

The positive point of this is you generally make youre money like we did  with ashley young

Our interest in Capueno is also beginning to make the news here, although it seems there are other teams following him as well:

Pescara, anche l'Aston Villa pensa a Capuano

Quote
Tra le tante pretendenti in lizza per il difensore del Pescara Marco Capuano, spunta anche l'Aston Villa. Il club di Birmingham avrebbe infatti sondato il terreno per il calciatore appetito da diverse squadre anche nel nostro paese. Siamo agli abboccamenti, ma potrebbero esserci sviluppi interessanti.

Which quickly translates as:

"Aston Villa have emerged among the many suitors lining up for the Pescara defender Marco Capueno. The Birmingham club has tested the waters with the player, who is also interesting several clubs from our country. We are only at the beginning, but there could be interesting developments."

On his Twitter he is asked if he's going to Villa and says nothing concrete, but it would be a dream for him.

I was working on my screenplay for a hard hitting docu-drama based on Kidderminster hard men who stash their ill gotten gains in a nearby forest. "The Wyre".




This is funny.

i doubt a nose would have the foresight to start a twitter account last year and keep it going. but if they did, hats off to them on an expertly executed wind-up!

as an aside, if one of the villa kids who had come through the ranks was talking up moves to other clubs on twitter, this place would go into meltdown.

I wasnt implying it was a nose that had set up the twitter, i was saying they had started the rumour of him signing.
