Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[silhillvilla]

Hasn't Bent still got a year left of his 80k a week deal with us ? Cannot see him walking away from that, especially to Turkey !! Not a chance IMHO.

Re Ashley Young rumours.

I don't care what happened at Man United, I'd happily go up there and carry him back.

I liked him when he played here and he's miles better than the rest of the dross that makes up most of our squad

Agreed.

I'd love to get Ashley Young back. He could offer us something for definite and perhaps Roy Keane can scare him out of that playacting bollocks.
I don't see it happening though. We're more likely to see Luke Young back.

[Ger Regan]

Eduardo is available on a free with Albrighton's & Fonz's wages off the books he's the sort of free player we should be in for.

It will never happen though as villa have zero ambition just look at the last three signings.

Not sure how much ambition signing a 31 year old with a roughly one in three and a half goal ratio in Ukraine would be. In fact I'd class in roughly in the cole category.

Never rated Eduardo. He'd be a waste of money and doubt he'd come for anything reasonable.

Both laughable.

Explain it to me then, oh wise one

I would rather have Ashley Young, likely to get Ameobi!! I hope that I am wrong. Also spoke to a mate who reckons we are wanting Bendtner. Some mate!!

Ashley Young - not a chance. We haven't got a pot to piss in & he won't take a pay cut to join us.

We need 2 defensive midfielders that protect the back four. Currently we have none, that should be the absolute priority. Then a left back good enough to play in the PL.

We need to plug the leaking defence & stop relying on players who take it in turns to gift a goal away every week (Baker, Luna, Bennett, Lowton, Clarke).

Others like Sylla, Helnius & Tonev have offered nothing & are probably worth nothing.

I really can't see anyone taking Bent, Hutton or Given off our hands & that must be close on £150k / week.

Their new manager is busy trying to win a World Cup....would he really sanction a player going during this time? He will want to asses his squad before deciding on who goes.

I've said this a million times, but it is overlooked despite his growing status in the game he still worked so hard for us right up until he left. He may have been a cock at times and while at Man U, but he would walk into our line up and make it a proper threat again in attack. Get the Beast healthy and we can go head to head with most defences. I'll fly over Paulie and help you carry him back.

[olaftab]

Ash Young will not make LVG's 50 men squad. He is wasted. He will end up at QPR draw a good wage for two seasons before pissing off to MLS.

[ozzjim]

I will help you carry him Paulie. Anyone turning their nose up at Young coming back needs their head read.

Yes, I imagine that he would be being paid in Turkey.

I don't think he'll be doing it for room and board.

[olaftab]

I think Ash Young will dive into most teams in the bottom half pool of the PL. So no doubt someone will plunge for him however he is unlikely to find the depth of form he once had and may sink fast to the bottom.

Yep and Trabzonspor have Boswinga and Malouda, so they're certainly not short of a few pennies. Bent will rake it in over there. If there is a genuine offer he'll be off like a short.

Look we all have our opinions which is cool but to put him in the same category as a well past it JC is laughable. I'm betting he'd set-up and score way more goals than Gabby too. He's free quite skillful and in-form, last season 30 apps 13 goals we should be in for him imo.
