Transfer Speculation / Gossip

If you're looking for a midfielder to chip in with a few goals, Dembele is not your man. Excellent player though.

Seemed to remember that he scored quite a few for Fulham.  Just looked at his record - 5 goals in 62 games, so not exactly prolific!!  We do need more goals from midfield though and that includes Delph chipping in with a few more.

Another delightful translation, this time about Palacios.

In the coming hours Wilson Palacios will define its future in English football. catracho The steering wheel is very close to leaving Stoke City and Aston Villa go to club that are interested in buying and that has followed in his footsteps from various weather.

[Dante Lavelli]

Dembele is a quality player who would really improve our midfield.

Dembele wasn't selected yesterday for Spur's Euro team last night.  He looked like such a good player at Fulham and in his early days at Spurs.
It's a few spurs managers now who have not picked him so maybe his motivation levels have dropped, which, if true, is a horrible waste of talent.

Not sure Palacios is the type of player we need really.  Going forward, I see Westwood as cover for Sanchez and what we need is a dynamic player like Delph who is decent on the ball and can chip in with a few goals.  The previously mentioned Holtby and Dembele would be ideal, even if it was only on loan for a season.       

Perhaps the thought is to allow Delph to play further forward.

Could be and I wouldn't be adverse to that.  If we play our usual three though, we could still do with another option in there.  Ideally, James Milner will decide that he misses Villa Park too much and would be willing to come back for a massive reduction in his wages, as he would be perfect in that role.

Salah would be a great signing.

Yup.

Him on loan would see us in very solid shape for the season.

If we are looking for forward options, how about Altidore?

I'll pretend that you never suggested that even in jest.

I've been toying with suggesting this for about an hour, but, here goes...

How about Wellbeck?

Van Gaal wants to let him go, but not to a rival. Would surely be a better option than Weimann or Agbonlahor...

blimey get that quote right so it doesn't look like I'm suggesting Wellbeck

He'd fit the bill perfectly.

if the option we were looking for up front was "hilarity".

villa kicks has snatched Rob's body. Look out for a suggested approach for Jonjo Shelvey in the coming days.

[LeeB]

I'd bite their hands off for Wellbeck.

Such a shame they seem to have changed the bio on his website. That remains one of the funniest things ever.

I am missing Villakicks the little wind up troll

[mr underhill]

Have we had Villa Kick's war and peace length list of players yet who  would slot right in at VP? Wasn't his always headed by Altidore?
