Transfer Speculation / Gossip

And they are in talks with Tom Ince, too.

Lescott apparently going to Hull on a free.

Wonder how much they're paying him. They're probably paying a fair wedge for Huddlestone, but I don't think they'll be offering huge wages.

They're showing ambition. Their owner doesn't strike me as the type to take financial risks, either.

Still, we've always got Big Phil.

Truly baffling if Hull get him and Ince. Both should be ours. And Barry of course.

I wonder if we could hazard a guess at why they won't be ours.

It's a tough one to be sure.

Thing about gabby which annoys me most is he can do the business. He has it all in his locker. See saints away last year, good run good finish, jobs a good un.
He just don't look interested 90% of the time though.
Too much money too soon and unprofessional ? No drive once he had £1-2m in the bank? Who knows but he's wasting his career

Little Hull showing a bit of ambition while we scratch around in the bargain basement.
Come on Villa show a bit of ambition and shift some season tickets.

Lescott would be good but I don't see what all the fuss is about over Ince. If his dad wasn't the Guvnor, he would get half the publicity.

He did naff all at Palace.

We can't compete with the Hulls of this world.

And that's the sad truth under Lerner.

We've been put up for sale. Were shopping in The 99p Shop not Poundland.
Understand that and the signings dont appear too bad.

  Fuck off, if Ince was that good why is he even looking at Hull.  He made a huge impact last season, didn't he?  That's why all these massive clubs are fighting tooth and nail to get his autograph.  We are in the shit, there is no denying it.  Unless a sale happens by the end of July we are probably going to be in a proper relegation battle.  However shitting myself over missing out on the signings of massive stars such as Tom Ince isn't what will give me nightmares.

I don't get where people are so convinced we'll be doomed this coming year. After all, we weren't actually close to being relegated last year – and that was with the awful run-in.

We do have some decent young players, and we all knew they needed to play alongside some experience – well, that seems to be happening. We've got plenty to come back from injury too. I'm not saying it's going to be rosy, but I don't see any reason why we can't actually build (a little) on last year. At least we have a chance of that now we've had a manager coming into his third season for the first time in ages 

Stability is surely the only way to get anywhere on a budget.
