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...

Huh?

Sorry. Joke about him being "ethnic".

Oh yeah, missed that. Thought it might have been something about John Lennon being better than Pete Townshend.

There is a link with us looking at buying Gestede from Blackburn still for 6mill and offering 3 players on loan, Robinson, Tonev and Hepburn.
Can't see us wanting another striker with Ade on his way, although I'd be mighty impressed.

This is the sort of summer I expected when Randy and MON first appeared.

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.

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.

Was TS at Spurs when Berbatov was?

I still think we need a quality/experienced central defender.

If we are planning to play Richards there as first choice, I'd say that's a big gamble; and our other options are all injury-prone.

Villa move in talks with Berbatov ,  http://www.newsnow.co.uk/A/785003019?-11177:843:0

Also reported by several press threads too

Thoughts ?

thoughts? incandescent with anger. As if one thirty something greedy lazy cnut wasn't bad enough we now try and sign the laziest 34 year old cnut in football - does he intend to play him in a wheelchair role? Just when you thought we might be making progress a double whammy. Awful and ghastly Tim

Adebayor, gabby, kozak, ayew, berbatov, Robinson. Plus grealish and Gil who Tim sees as a number ten

I'll believe it when I see it. Surely wider areas are the priority, unless the shape we've been playing in pre season isn't the one we'll play when it all kicks off

Yeah especially with okore out and senderos nowhere to be seen. Richards has hardly been ever fit in recent years either.

A £500k journeyman from Spain doesn't really fit the bill

Adebayor I can see the benefits of. But not Berbatov.

Shouldn't this be in the rumours thread?  Or has a big been accepted?
I hope not.  Adebayor and possibly Ayew fill our lazy/sulky quota in my opinion.

I'm not sure he's what we need either, but i'm hardly 'incandescent with anger'. Some people are so over the top it's untrue.

Berbatov now! A friend of Petrov's it would seem.
