Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[Chris Jameson]

Every forum needs a bit of harmless crazy and VK does a great job of bringing it on here.

Constantly singing the praises of Shelvey, Altidore and Spearing is a very special kind of crazy.

That's exactly what I'm referring too.  Come on, admit it you're all a little bit sad when you don't get a regular update that Jermaine Beckford is 'at it'.  Having people champion players that most people think are average is a big part of the fun of a football forum.

Yep, I still want us to sign Rickie Lambert.

Every time I read one of his posts I read it in a " I am confused.com, how may I save you......pounds" voice.

I still think it was a big mistake to let Steven Davis leave.

There is a marked contrast between the caring attitude people profess to have when an ex-player turns out to have a drink/gambling problem or is reportedly living rough.

Not that I am likening VK to any ex-player, more observing how quickly liberal attitudes seem to evaporate when there is a chance of a good piss take.

As far as I can make out VK doesn't really mind people disagreeing with him, but does take exception to some of the insulting quips he gets for his trouble. Who wouldn't.

The Mirror are linking us again with the Japanese lad in Germany.

It wouldn't surprise me if for once they're onto something.

I hope we don't lose out to him due to failing to off-load our band of wastrels.

[richtheholtender]

He reminds me of Solano.

Talking of VK, who wanted us to sign Darren Beckford in almost every post he made on here. I am sure he meant Jermaine at the time, although Darren would have been better.

The Japanese lad looks a very good player that is totally different to what we have, so would be a good signing squad wise. A bit Maloney esque.

Wasn't that Coopers Injury/Wiki Villa?

Probably will depend on Bent going I would have thought.  In today's Evening Mail it is reported that Lambert is pretty happy with the defensive options now that Okore is fit, so maybe the Japanese lad will be the only other addition this window.

Liverpool ready to sell Stewart Downing for around £5m


Don't anyone suggest that we follow this one , even as a joke!!


And like all good scousers...he's asked for time to be considered

[olaftab]

I think "sell" and "Downing" is not going to work. They will need to give him away ...with a dowry!
