Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[Concrete John]

Stan Collymore ‏@StanCollymore 5m
Aston Villa. No more incoming during this window other than Kozak. @talkSPORT

Slightly disappointing.

We were saying much stronger than that at the close of the last window, but then went on a run that was easily mid table form from Everton away onwards.

Happy Jim White eastie Day everybody

Fixed.

It's a big day for eastie, reckon he's got the full gimp-suit with peep-hole crotch out especially for it.

Can I also add that I think Sessignon is shite, and there's no way in the world we'll be signing him.

Noble is wank, Sessegnon is shite...do you get off on bullying talentedless midfielders? Is that your thing Lee? Is it?

Fixed

Well yes, I don't think it's the end of the world but an attacking midfielder would have been nice.

Kendrick thinks thats the lot too-

@MatKendrick: At the moment it seems like Kozak will be Villa's final signing of the summer (unless Salifou sneaks back in at the eleventh hour) #avfc

Top 8 yo.

I agree.

However, Lambert is very much the type who won't buy for the sake of it, so I'm presuming he couldn't find the right one that was within budget and represented good value.  So that one goes on the back burner until January.

Kozak makes 7 new signings this window, which is only Lambert's third with us, and we can't expect to get everything straight away.

What both SVC and Kendrick are saying is that they aren't aware of any other signings. That far from means that there won't be any.

[Mister E]

don't get the Kozak interest ...

[Tuscans]

Helenius did state that he almost preferred to play behind the striker....maybe Lambert has that in mind!?

[UK Redsox]

BBC Sport's Pat Murphy reports: "Aston Villa hope to complete the signing of Czech international forward Libor Kosak later today. He plays for Lazio and is 6ft 3ins. Kosak has four caps, the last of which came against Hungary in August. I understand he's a versatile player who is more than an out-and-out striker. The fee is about £7m and if the deal goes through he would become Villa's seventh signing of the summer.

"Meanwhile, it looks as if Barry Bannan will be signing for Crystal Palace, linking up again with Ian Holloway for whom he had a successful loan spell at Blackpool."

[ADVILLAFAN]

Surely Archie can give us some info on Kozak, with him being a Lazio player.

[RussellC]

Isn't Archie a Sampdoria fan...?

I do not think we would shell out 7m if the guy could not play ?

I won't wait up in expectation , do turn out the lights on your way out at 11pm

[asgpaul]

Anyone any news on whether any of the remaining members of the 'bomb squad' will be gone by the end of play today?
