This is the way to do it, rather than investing in Premiership hasbeen journeymen.Indeed , if we could add okore and belhanda and announce a new deal for benteke then i think we could look at challenging for a top 8 finish .Plus a left back and a goalie we may finish top 10

Quote from: Villa in Denmark on June 11, 2013, 08:20:38 PMAs I don't follow Supaliga much, I don't know much about him, other than he was second top scorer in the league last season. Reading Aab's fansites they seem pretty resigned to the fact he'll be moving on to a better league than Danish top flight this summer. A couple put question marks over whether he can make the step up, but most think he'll be OK if brought through gradually. They're pretty quick to dismiss the notion that 6'5" equals a traditional target man. (Poor sods have had a look at VillaTalk). He apparently is just as well known for his set up / approach play as his finishing skills, joint top in assists last year if I read the stats correctly.And yes Bruce Rioch was coach for Aalborg a few years back. Won the Danish championship and became the first team to get out the CL group stages (finished 3rd and dropped into the Europa league.)I was kinda hoping you'd say he was crap, like the Belgians on here were saying about Benteke last year.

As good a chance that he's a replacement for Bowery as Bent or Benteke (but not Beimann or Babby).

Why does it take 10 days? Surely personal terms shouldn't be that hard to discuss?
I've got an old settee needs shifting, I reckon Benteke will be off.

no you're all way off. My sources have reliably informed me that Elves arrived late last night after a trecherous and exhausting journey having been diverted through the dangerous streets of Coventry to collect gold from the treasurer at Villa Park. They will now, having rested and feasted, begin their travel back. They expect to encounter orks as they head south through Nose country and must again avoid Trolls and Goblins as they re-enter Coventry as they journey east. If they can safely avoid the Nökken they have promised to return within ten days with Nicklas Helenius.
The way we seem to be signing players which we haven't heard of and when the deals are done/almost done reminds me of the way a certain Mr. Saunders used to do business. I hope we do as well now as we did then !
