Stinks of a Villa signing to me. A championship player who will cost next to nothing, connections to the Irish team, played under Keane at Sunderland and more importantly he's crap.

Has Lamberts name written all over it.

Remind me - how many of our signings does that apply to? I make it none.
Well I wasn't actually comparing him to anyone. Lambert has bought a few players from the lower leagues, all fairly cheap and not very good. That with Keane and MON connections makes me feel it's a typical Villa signing.
Crap, lower league footballers joining Villa...that's typical. With Richardson joining who played under Keane which might of influenced Lambert's decision to sign him then McClean could be another....which would make it typical. Unless I'm wording it wrong.

Get off my back, I've had a Baileys.

It can't be typical if it's not happened before.

I am guessing we would have sold them if we could but if Luna performs in Italy we have an option of bringing him back or he will alternatively have a resale value. If Tonev does some serious damage in Scotland with Celtic then the same thing applies. Helenius seems to be Steve 'Lonely Boy' Hodge MKII.

I doubt any of them are on much, so I assume the clubs they are going to will be paying pretty much all their wages. So we basically get a free year out of them to see if
a) they can be of use to us in the future
2) hope they have good seasons that mean we will get some decent money for them next summer
III) Be consistent

You totally plagiarised my post them and just added 'be consistent' to it. No wonder people get annoyed with the mods on here and bugger to the the bar of whatever it's called. ;)

You stole my thoughts first. Thought thief!

This is more like it if true.

I hope so. La Roca would be a perfect fit for our midfield.

Thought thief???? I bet you didn't even come up with that yourself. I think at some point you have watched some weird film called 'Thought Thief'. Be honest, you are racking your brains right now because you suspect that might be the case.

Sounds an ideal signing to me, could make a big difference to us giving our defensive weaknesses.

Add this lad and maybe then loan Moses or Sinclair and we will be looking much much better. Then nip in for Ki on deadline day for a bit of greed. And Holtby. I can dream of mediocrity.

Telegraph say we're in talks to sign Carlos Sanchez from Elche for 4m.

Looks like he's the backup now Ki move is off....and not a bad alternative at all.

Far from a bad alternative. I would be delighted to get him.

Would hopefully solve one of the problems in midfield that has been apparent for a couple of seasons now.  Further additions of an upgrade on KEA and a decent wide option would ease concerns a little.

He wears the 24 shirt for his current club. Guess you wears 24 for Villa right now?

I almost daren't say it but that would be a bit of class through the spine of the team.

Guzan, vlaar, sanchez and benteke.

We still have too many underwhelming players in the squad. I doubt if there are any takers though.

I didn't realize he was 28 but I would love to have Sanchez in the squad. Really hope we can make it happen.. two signings that actual involve a transfer fee without a CEO  ::)

I love that phrase "I can dream of mediocrity" Brilliant. It will be my thought for the week.
