Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[PeterWithesShin]

And to think Small Heath are probably still spending some of that compensation on light bulbs or toilet rolls or Highland League Bosmans.

I thought it had all gone to Hong Kong criminal defence lawyers. I can't see the point in stocking up on light bulbs and toilet rolls when you don't know how much longer you will be able to pay for electricity and water.

They need to keep one lightbulb for the last person to turn off when they leave.

skysports say Sky Sources reveal Fulham made improved offer for Darren Bent today. Let hope it will spark other teams into action.

Just seen that. I think that a move to Fulham is a good move for him, should it happen.

dont mind Fulham , dont mind Bent . He will do well there. Score loads for them.

You just know that the one who will turn the last light off and be last to leave will be Zigic. Even then they will have to take him by force.

I wonder what Dempsey's wage demands are compared to Bents. Clint is a year older too. Seeing as Seattle are feeling flush and Darren is a big fan of the US, how about they buy them both for £8m a pop and the two can reminisce about being employed by Mr Levy.

Agree assuming he has no long term injury problems.

That's handy as he can take out the light bulb too.

Arsenal selling Gervinho to Roma for £8m. Shame they are not keeping him as we could do with him in their team on 17 August!

Dempsey is going back to MLS so villa wont be signing him now

Were we ever?

I think Roma may have been sold a pup. And not a cute, little cuddly one either. More like one who shakes like a jittery Gervinho when he's through on goal.

[SoccerHQ]

Have to say Gervinho gave one of the worst performances all season against us when he came on at VP last season. He must've ran the ball out of play three times just dribbling with the ball and he crossed high into the North stand when Arsenal had a decent attack in the last minute.

Gervinho looked a great prospect before he joined them though, he's worth a gamble for them I think.

Would honestly rather he went abroad if possible.  Fulham are one of the teams we are trying to move above so could do without him going there and banging goals in.

A marvellous, funny author.

Talking of Zigic I read through their match report and he was nowhere to be seen in the squad so assumed injured. I hope he is still claiming his huge wages. I looked though the squad and there was not one name I recognised. 18000 on opening day   what a huge club
