The Express have just tweeted a link to Berbatov.  By christ, he makes Adebayor look like the Duracell Bunny.

If we signed Berbatov, I imagine he'd just spend the matches sat in his own, special, luxuriously upholstered armchair, wearing a smoking jacket, tugging away on Dunhills - smoked in holders, and taken from a gold case.

On the pitch.

Last time I watched him properly was when we went to Fulham and got battered by Berbatov inside 45 minutes. He was fucking awesome. Now we are 18 months on but he seems to have played well for Monaco. I just hope that Kozak does get his chance to cement a place in the side and is not pushed aside by 2 old men. 1 I am happy to take as he makes sense. I am not sure on Berbatov. Though he couldn't half teach Grealish when to play a final ball.

He more or less did that against us at our gaffe a couple of years ago and still ran the game. Refused to use his left foot as well, as though it was not required at that level.

Surely not berba. We'll already have four senior centre forwards w adebayor and I'd have bought kozak as done enough to deserve a chance.

Priority now would definitely be the wide positions. Sinclair uncertain and bacuna definitely not good enough in midfield

13 goals in 38 games for Monaco last season according to wiki.

Again, on a short term contract, it would be low risk and he would bring a shit load of experience.  Even at his age, I should imagine his movement would show up what we have seen generally from our forwards for the last 2 years.

A forward line of Kozak, Berbatov and Adebayor. You could see glacial movement with more speed.

Berbatov's already been doing that for the last few years with great success.  I reckon his next move will finally see him literally phoning in his performance; there'll be a telephone table just outside the box with a mobile on it.  And even then he'll be more of a threat than Brown Ideye.

It wouldn't be a mobile, it'd be one of those old school phones shaped like a stick with an ear piece attached to a cord...and the whole attacking move would be played out in black and white.

Couple of good signing still to come I've heard

Definitely not Townsend now



Come on then you little tease. Spill!

He wouldn't name them des. But said two good signings.

Thou they are looking at Lennon as a possibility which makes me think they want a winger maybe as they not into Townsend work ethnic .


Shit, don't let Percy see that...

I meant work rate. This tablet aarrgghh

He said I will be pleased in a week or two.

I would love to see Berbatov play for Villa. He's like a Rolls Royce.

I hope this lad is better than the last player Petrov suggested we go and get.

IMO this will be like the Benteke to Man. United story which seemed to scare Liverpool into quickly paying the fee.

Just can't see us signing Adebayor and Berbatov, Ade seems quite far down the line now so it would be a strange one.

Tried to bang £20 on Berbatov joining at 10/1 with BetVictor but site crashed then when I came back it was 4/1. Should have been quicker... like him ;D
