Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[Keeno]

Apparently Mourinho just confirmed in a presser that Willian was undergoing a medical at Chelsea... Anything that inconveniences Spurzzzz is fine by me but yet another attacking midfielder at the club means that a player like Victor Moses will be pushed right down the pecking order. Might be a good player for us, maybe on a season's loan to begin with? Would allow us to really go with that double pivot in the centre of midfield and play a much more confident 4-2-3-1 against the lesser teams... He'd supply Benteke well and would allow us to rotate the front three throughout the year. Thoughts?

Not a bad shout.

I'd be happy with that. I'd prefer Moses to Scott Sinclair. I think being at Chelski for Moses is a big, big club a bit too soon. At his age he's got to be playing week in, week out.

Yes he may be a raving right-wing Tory apologist but he is still one of us. What was the ban for?

He did a very, very bad thing.

[ozzjim]

I think he is a brilliant player on his day and could play across the front in any of the roles. There was a lot of talk West Brom are in for him, which would be given more light with the Anelka thing. Would be great for us though.

Another vote for the 'bring back Risso (and hanging, probably)' campaign. And Greg Nash, while we're at it.

I like Moses a lot as well and certainly has a lot of energy about his game. He's only 22 I think also so fits right in. Not sure what kind of money he'd be on though at Chelsea but can't imgaine it being astronomical.

[PeterWithesShin]

Supposedly, well according to the interweb, Moses is on £50K a week.

Well we can offer to pay half. And zero if he is injured for the season. I.e. not the Jermaine fuppin Jenas deal!!

[Keeno]

He'd probably be willing to take a bit of a wage cut though, for first team football every week. Like TV said his age/style etc fits right in with PL's ethos.

[barrysleftfoot]

 Play him instead of who?

 Would cost about £10m, other priorities for me.With a good attacking midfielder, a Fischer, or a Lestienne, we could be the "surprise" team this year.

 Maybe a loan to put Gabby, Andi under pressure, but not an outright purchase.

I don't think Risso will be welcomed back so best to move on people.

it's one thing to misbehave and ignore polite requests from mods.

but to directly & personally insult and attack one of the people running this site, I don't think there's a way back from that.

Oh. What did he say?

[Smoke]

It's quite a cunning ploy in a way Jimbo.


It all happened in GM so if you want to know, you gots to pay!
