Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[JUAN PABLO]

Can't understand people wanting Charles N'Zog out - still can play the AM role when fit. Wish him a speedy recovery...

probably why Lambert has not bought one

[London Villan]

Sounds like Stoke are paying some of Ireland's wage and we are still paying the remainder... At least it's a start. Has it got 1 or 2 years left on his contract?

[NiiLamptey]

Thought given would have gone... Surprised arsenal haven't had him for a start but wenger seems intent on making his current donkey work!

I'd be happy to give Zoggy one last shot. He's tried since Lambo came in. He did okay last season, though I think our system didn't quite work with him in, because it became almost a 4-4-2.
He's not really had a good run playing on the flank, which is his favoured position. He's best on the right hand side, cutting inside and I believe that's his preferred position.
There could be a place for Zog when he returns, but it's last chance saloon. Had he not been injured I think we may have sold him. He's got to come back and score goals and he's got to get more assists. I think last season he had 3 goals and 4 assists in 21 odd games. Comparatively to other midfielders here that's not bad but it's not good enough for someone of his ability.

For me part of Zog's problem last term was Lambert. I don't think he quite figured where to fit him in. The place he's best suited for is either Gabby or Wiemann's spot, wide of Benteke. Zog can play that AM role but we need two top class CM's behind him. Delph and Westy are playing well but I still don't think they're good enough as a two man. We need that extra body in there, be it Sylla, KEA or Bacuna.

I thought that Arse had brought in another keeper from Italy today

Nail on the head Tom.

Be glad when window closes! All those irritating juvenile pricks pulling faces/gesturing outside the stadiums/training grounds on SSN!

[bertlambshank]

Shit The goalscorer is going back to the stripy filth.

Collymore raving about Villa's transfer dealings done early on TS,
I also loved it when he said earlier ' i'm not anti Man utd i'm not pro Man utd i'm only pro Aston Villa'

PWS feel free to redress the balance

[bertlambshank]

Love the OS.
Steven Ireland has signed for Stoke City for the rest of the season.
Don't forget to get your tickets for the Newcastle United game.
Short and to the point.

It's all we tend to do when a player leaves. I find it amusing that it could be interpested that the second they leave they are dead to the club. No thank yous or anything. Just, they've gone.

[PeterWithe]

It will be another year of semi retirement in Stokes midfield watching the ball sail over his head, good riddance.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

If anyone deserves to be booed on their return after leaving, it's this c***.

He's taken us for a proper ride. How can someone earn that much and be very, very talented, but just not give a shit and not be bothered to even try. Twat.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the positive side, that has to be regarded as the best bit of transfer business completed in this window. Thanks Stoke!

[bertlambshank]

Nice bit of timber at the back.
