Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

In a Men in Black dance routine?

According to something on facebook "Samir Curruthers joins MK Dons on loan".
I thought he was in with a shout of a place in the first team squad after his appearances in pre season.

Seems as if he has gone to MK Dons. Might be a good move as the manager Robinson does seem to get his players playing decent football.

I still we will get the much fabled number 10 but in a way hope it's someone a bit stronger looking than Julies obsession.

The mad Julie thread. Now that would be a cracker.
By the way, this Japanese guy, K.........., is he what we need ? Surely we should be looking at our defence, again, to strengthen.
Just my opinion. Oh, and Ron Vlaar's opinion as well.

Samir Carruthers will now be linking up with a player i used to go to school with Izale Mcleod, he'll do alright there me thinks!!

Did McLeod play at Barnet first of all, know he played at Peterborough

He has played for Barnet but his first club was Derby. I've played against him many times when he got signed by Derby, he's got a pretty good goal ratio throughout the years.

Will Hughes is still my choice and he's got great upper body strength for his age, has the same thing Zidane did where he accelerates out of contact.  I also think this is the last window he'll be available for a none champions league club.

Of course Christian Eriksen hasn't gone anywhere yet, bit expensive but he's quality, could see if our 2 new danes (and the retired great one) can put in a good word, you never know he might like the idea.

Will Hughes does look a hell of a talent. Maybe something could be done with a couple of the bomb squad going there for 6 months with us still picking up much of their wage.

Not sure he is a "number 10" type of player, but would be the type who could fit into our current flat three in midfield.  I'm not sure we really produce "number 10" type players in this country and are probably going to have to look abroad to get one.  Hoping the deal for the Japanese lad comes off.

The only interest in the Japanese lad comes from the warped imagination of the Lake District.

Lambert confirmed an interest at the fans forum though didn't he?

A very, very tentative one some time ago.

Which naturally equates to that we've made several bids, the last being £10m which has been rejected. Faulkner has been flying there every couple of days and keeping Julie abreast of the developments. She in turn has been authorised to let the heathen less privileged masses know that a deal is imminent by way of us activating a release clause. I think I have it right...

Surely Will Hughes is one for the future like Carruthers, Grealish etc
