Leeds utd? do me a favour, what about Libor?

The question is whether Tim's interest in Libor is only short-term

Lost on most people UKR!

Thank you, I'm here all week.

However, I'm not sure that there's a big crowd out there for financial based humour

Begovic would be a huge step up from Guzan and I like Guzan too.

Is it just me or does anyone else think the links to players with our club at the moment are complete horse apples and a combination of either agents using us to drum up interest or media hacks trying to fill columns/click bait?


Isn't that true for the entire market, every team and not just Aston Villa? I know we have lots of needs but it's not like the market has been awash with new player signings (Liverpool aside) and we've been sat on the sidelines watching. This is what the summer looks like, every summer. Thousands of bullshit links and only a few that ever become real. And I imagine that applies to every PL side, not just us.

It certainly feels like recent transfer windows have all been the same.

Well Lambert's not here and we have more than 1 coach on the staff so it feels different to me.

I'd love to get Begovic but honestly, have no idea why on Earth he'd come here. Stoke would be crazy to sell. They could probably offer him as much, if not more money than we could in wages. Right now they're a solid mid-table side and we're a shambles. I'm surprised Liverpool don't try and get him.

I still have no problems with Guzan being no 1 but it does appear that Sherwood's made up his mind on Brad. Begovic would be a very good replacement. Won't happen though. No chance.

Sherwood must have a massive transfer budget if he's prepared to spend £10m on a position that's probably the least of our problems.

Disagree that goalkeeper is the least of ou problems, we're crying out for a keeper who knows how and when to come for a cross. Although Guzan is sometimes a good shot stopper, a really competent goalkeeper would have saved us numerous points last season.

Brad Guzan knows exactly when to come for a cross and hold on to it. He has proved that many times. So he did not have the greatest of seasons does this mean anything he did before has been filed in the rubbish bin? Looks like it as far as Tim Sherwood and a few posters on here are concerned!

He wouldn't have to live in Stoke anymore.
