I'd have no problem with us signing Adebayor because he wouldn't be on the same ludicrous money. He scores goals and it would likely be a 2 year deal or so. It's that fucking vomit inducing salute that would drive me bananas, but I'd get used to it after 15th or so time as he only does it after he scores. Adding him to the squad alongside what we have is fine. Having him be the best forward in our squad if Benteke leaves would be an issue.

I think you're right. as a replacement for the two that have gone yes, as Benteke's replacement no, but even if it's the former it has to be on non bankrupting terms and not as a weekly lottery win to him

Adebayor can go and get himself rammed with the fat end of a champagne bottle.

You a fan then?

I did enjoy him winding up the Arsenal fans a few years back. Arguably not the wisest move, but it was funny.

They are probably suggesting a straight swap with Benteke.

Hasn't this rumour come from a Tweet by resident TalkSport cocksocket "Ian "The Moose" Abrahams?

I wonder what Adebayor's attitude would be, coming here after his career thus far.

Not one I'd take a risk on tbh.

I don't listen to Talksport that much during pre-season but it sounds to me like they try and get one exclusive out a day.

Why do they call him 'The Moose'? Is it because he looks like a moose, is it because he smells like one, or is it because he's addicted to prepared desserts that incorporate air bubbles giving a light and airy texture?

Do you reckon it is one per club?  Clearly we only discuss the Villa ones but as these typically involve another premiership club they only need ten-a-day.  Or 5, then the following day to confirm/deny/justify yesterday's bullshit.

I certainly wouldn't label Adebayor as dross. If he had a poor strike rate then maybe, but his goals to appearances ratio is very good. I should imagine that Tim would be confident of getting the best out of him and if he chooses to recruit him I wouldn't be disappointed. However I would hope that his wages would be mostly performance related.

The problem is that we will be a hard working team for the foreseeable future and I don't see him working hard enough for the team. I don't think his attitude would be right.

Being linked with a 5 million move for Milosevic according to twitter.










Alex Milosevic that it.


http://www.turkish-football.com/aston-villa-make-e5m-bid-for-besiktas-defender/



Sign him for one million in January

Injured most the time

Sell for five million

That's how it reads

Really not sure that we need another young defender, seeing as we already have Okore, Clark and Baker.  We really could do with an experienced defender who can organise those around him.

What about Micah Richards? We should sign him.

I think we are being proactive, not a word normally associated with the Villa, in trying to sign replacements for ( possibly) outgoing players .In this case, imo, Vlaar or Senderos, who I personally would be sorry to see leave.
Milosovic looks good on video......but then, they all do!.

Just read that Vlaar is having knee surgery and will be out for 4 weeks ( approx?!)....Godzvilla!

He might have to build his own physio room out the back garden, could be a while before he makes that "step higher" in his career at another club. Good luck to concrete Ronald.
