Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[mr underhill]

Fee for Ki agreed with Swansea apparently , but the player is weighing up other options

[The Laughing Policeman]

Does anybody know if Ki was signed in time to get on the plane today for the Texas trip?
A quick Google of, 'Villa sign Ki' has only produced articles from 5 days ago, and I thought I read last night ( on here, somewhere) that it was happening!

The Times was saying yesterday that we were tring to sign him in time for the US Tour but its all gone quiet since then . We live in hope , as ever .................Godzvilla!

Apparently some of Europes 'bigger clubs' are showing interest in Ki.

If true I'd pull out. Likely that he'd have a deadline. IF true, mind you.

[garyshawsknee]

Why is he waiting ? Who wouldn't want to be in a team with Hutton and Senderos.

[Clampy]

If true I'd pull out. Likely that he'd have a deadline. IF true, mind you.

Why should we pull out if it's true? It's his move, you can't blame him for seeing who else is interested.

I'm with you on this Peter.  We need to show players that we've made an offer and that we'd appreciate a relatively speedy response.  Despite many saying we're no longer a big club, we're Aston Villa and the privilege for any player is to play for us.  If he procrastinates then fuck him,I would hope there are back- up choices, move on.

"We're not stronger than last year. We've just added more shit to the existing pile we have " .

Sorry BoskoDjembaSalifou , that is a completely ridiculous & outrageous statement , particularly when it comes from a ' purported Villa Fan .
As a Club , Villa  has its faults , but name me a Club that has,nt , to vilify OUR Players , to generalise in such an extreme and unworthy manner does you no credit . Not one Villa player is worthy of this sort of vile abuse . If this is what you really think then why bother to call yourself a ' Supporter ' which I presume you do ? .   Please take your hostile and recreant views elsewhere or keep them to yourself .....................Godzvilla!

Not sure what the issue is here. It's common knowledge most of our squad is shit, we've been in a relegation battle for 3 consecutive seasons now.

I'm a Villa fan, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna pretend everything is rosy.

We're not stronger than last year. We've just added more shit to the existing pile we have.

It's vital we sign a good central midfielder and I'm afraid they cost money. Hopefully we have some cash available.

I think Bosco's response was directly after me saying we are a bit stronger, just adding the returning Okore and Nzogbia improves the squad, the 3 new additions have all played at a high level and are very experienced so again that has to help us going into the new season, to describe those 5 players as shit is a bit harsh.

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

I meant just the ones we have signed so far.

You're right about Okore & N'Zogbia, having them back should make us stronger. Think they'll be important players for us!

Yes fuck him  as soon as a player thinks twice about signing for us he isn't the player for Aston Villa.

Common knowledge  ?! , ´knowledge´ clearly is,nt  your forte , can you seriously describe the likes of Benteke , Vlaar , Delph , Okore , Cole , Grealish , Robinson , Guzan et al as " shit " ? . The word you use with such careless abandon  would perhaps best be used to describe what you are saying .
Only a fool would pretend " everything is rosy " at the Villa and only a fool would describe everything as ´shit ´..............Godzvilla !

Can you kindly wind it in a bit please and argue the points raised without being quite so antagonistic.

Roy Keane called off the Sunderland transfer bid for David Nugent when he said he wanted to talk to Portsmouth as well.
