Transfer Speculation / Gossip

I second that emotion.

[PaulWinch again]

I'd rather have Young in our team helping us win games than worry about a poor piece of judgement.

[itbrvilla]

So WHAM are apparently offering us £5M for Delph according to the Mail.

[PaulWinch again]

We better turn that down and get him to sign a new deal.

After the scum bag took the dive to win them a penalty, I am surprised that any Villa Fan with a memory larger than a goldfish could stomach him wearing the shirt again.

I take it you wouldn't want Robben, Ronaldo or Bale signing for Villa?

I must have missed them playing for the Villa or even diving to win a pen against The Villa.

Would you not want them to sign for us if they had?

So, to recap:

Played for Villa and dived for Villa = okay
Plays elsewhere and dives, including against Villa = not okay
Plays elsewhere and dives, but not against Villa = okay

He cheated, he wanted to win.  Sounds like the player we need at the moment unfortunately.  Two years running our best player as well.

Suprised Arry hasnt tapped him up, he was always on about him being trffic

"Get up Young you diving twat" was heard from me more than once during his time with us.

[Steve67]

Young is a diver and so, we wouldn't want him back? Gabby does it often enough but we love him!! Get real here, if there is the remotest possibility of us getting the cheating, diving little twat back, I would snatch their hands off.

Not aimed at you PWS!!

Jack Cork wouldnt be a bad signing for us to add to our midfield. A year left on his contract with Southampton but no sign of a new deal. Better than Kea anyway.

[Steve67]

The next one in simply has to be a ball winning midfielder. Lambert has to address the midfield lightweight issue.

Paul Lambert is poised to sign Swansea City midfielder Ki Sung-Yueng and wants Randy Lerner, the Aston Villa owner, to offer the Holland international Ron Vlaar a new contract.
The Aston Villa manager has stepped up his attempt to recruit a holding midfielder and expects to complete a deal for Ki this week. The South Korea international could become the first cash signing at Villa this summer if Lambert can agree terms with Swansea to make the move permanent.
Ki, 25, is believed to have held talks with Lambert over the weekend and will become Villa’s fourth signing since Lerner announced his decision to put the club up for sale.
Lambert will then focus his attention on retaining Vlaar, who has a year left on his contract. Vlaar returned to Holland yesterday after an impressive World Cup tournament and Villa fear that his performances could lead to interest from clubs in the Premier League and across Europe.
Fabian Delph and Gabriel Agbonlahor also have less than 12 months remaining and Lambert wants approval from Lerner to offer the trio fresh terms.

Ki's a good player. This would be a welcome addition and in a position very much of need.

Nah. Ashley young can fuck off.

[Steve67]

How reliable is the Telegraph? I hope this happens.

[LeeB]

If we sign Ki as well, that would make four players that can actually look after a football, which is a positive step in itself.
