Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[olaftab]

Could be some decent players on the market in the summer - lescott, rodwell, Milner , Richards - all being linked with leaving city.

All good players who I would love to come the villa, unfortunately there also out of our price range

All good players however after city money they won't be bothered about playing and will end up as show ponies at QPR or Fulham with fat 2/3 year contracts and end will follow soon after.

I think Milner would probably attract the likes of spurs , Liverpool or maybe everton - he is still decent and not too old.

I think we'd pay the transfer fee but certainly not the wages. We have to increase our wage budget if we want to compete in the PL else we'll continue to be strugglers in this league.

I think we'd pay good wages for the right player, be it someone currently at the club or someone coming in. We won't be stupid and just give to everyone and especially tied to mental contracts. Though I would think it would be restricted to only a few players.

Who have we scouting for the "right player", Stevie Wonder?

[SoccerHQ]

If we sell Benteke for 20m + this summer do people think someone like Loic Remy would be a realistic option? Arsenal were linked with him today for 8m so transfer fee wouldn't be an issue.

Demba Ba is another one, forgot about him but his goals to games ratio for various clubs in the prem is really good.

I know it will be wages this and wages that but if Benteke and Bent leave this summer I'd imagine that's 100k off the forward line wage budget so would surely give us some room to move.

And I can't be doing with another league 1/championship punt to replace Benteke we need someone relatively proven in there.

I doubt it, he makes a Living for the City, and they Ain't Gonna Stand For It.

The same scouts that got us Vlaar and Benteke or Bacuna I imagine. I was trying to have a sensible discussion with you. It didn't work.

We'll sign Grant "Proper Man" Holt on a permanent deal and win the league.

Seriously, we won't buy anyone like Ba or Remy. It'll be another random player from Europe on low wages.

Caught offside are saying we are interested in Aaron Lennon ........

Nooooooo please no. I will go to the Mosque to pray that this never happens.

masjid, 'we' call it a masjid...winky fella...

Benteke's class but Bacuna's nothing special, and Vlaar has hardly set the world alight since coming here. You're very easily pleased.

Vlaar has been outstanding this season. Bacuna has scored 5 goals in 26 appearances, mostly from full back.  They have been excellent signings. A couple more like them and we'd be a lot better off.

[Steve67]

I agree with Saunders_Heroes.  Other than Benteke, I wouldn't be too upset if Villa sold any of the current squad. Most of them are average at best.  Not another penny to Paul Lambert.

Vlaar's been decent, nothing more - the best of a bad bunch. Not one of our players can be described as having an "outstanding" season this year, not one of them. This season has been appalling, just like last season and the season before that etc.

Everything's black and white in your world isn't it? It's always 'shit' or 'appalling'.
