Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[Gregorys Boy]

It is a shame about Bent going, and that we didn't get more out of him, but it is for the best if he is not in the managers plans and I am more confident than we can do without him this season than last.  Also maybe if he does well at Fulham and proves his fitness then maybe we can take another look at him in a years time if we are struggling for goals.

Focusing on defence maybe the one area to improve right now, but hopefully with a more settled back line this season and with more games from Vlaar then things will begin to click back there.

guy from Sochaux that we have been linked with scored after 4 min v lyon tonight

Looks very much a bums off seats type of player, which in tight home games could be really, really useful to commit people and get space.

Take a look at this article fellas. I won't tell you what to look for, but there's a table with odds regarding certainly players moving. There's one that'll give you all a bit of a giggle. Obviously Yahoo sport is trying to rival some of the most bobbins sports reporting out there.

Paris Saint-Germain head coach Laurent Blanc has confirmed that defender Mamadou Sakho has asked to leave the club, as Nick Lustig of the Daily Star reported.

The 23-year-old claimed he was flattered at being linked with clubs such as Liverpool and AC Milan earlier this summer, noted Alec Fenn of Goal.com.

The Frenchman slipped behind Thiago Silva and Alex in the pecking order for the central-defensive roles last season, while new PSG signing Marquinhos will leave Sakho's first-team opportunities further limited.

But Blanc insists there is still time to find a solution to the situation before the transfer window closes on September 2.

Might be worth a look to replace Mr Vlaar and then we got two powerful central defender with him and Okoke.

That sounds fictional.

If that was true I'd wait for a season and sell him for three times that. I think he'll have a big role to play this season and do well.

Arsenal could do far worse than Shay Given for a couple of years. I'd have Shay over their gloved clowns any day of the week.

It sounded so left field though that i wondered whether it might be true. Apparently they want him initially for their B team http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/aston-villa/transfer-talk/news/real-madrid-want-villa-striker_99291.html
