Sky linking us to Jose Fonte from Southampton.

He sounds our type.

[Reuben]

I hear he has a good arial presence

[in exile]

He's too easy to read

[Abruzzo_John]

Today's Corriere dello Sport links us strongly with Keita, Lazio want to buy Borini. They report we have offered 10-11 million euro, Lazio wanting 15 million. The problem they report is that although Keita was born in Spain he does not hold a Spanish passport and therefore would come under the foreign player needing a work permit. The paper reports that we are working with the FA to try to resolve the problem and no signing is likely until next week at the earliest. Lazio fans do not appear to be happy with exchanging Keita for Borini.

He's just the calibri of defender we need

Good signing if true. He'd make an immediate impact.

Particularly if we bring in this new Roman guy from Lazio as well.

[alan_clarke]

He would be a very bold signing, underlining our intent to avoid another relegation battle this season

[Matt Collins]

Fonte? Would be surprised if he wanted to leave and saints wanted to sell

Would also feel a bit bad for Clark though it would be a very good signing

[themossman]

Nope, read it three times and can't see a single typeface.

Felipe Avenatti?

Just checked 6ft 5" striker from Uruguay with the added bonus of having Villa in his proper surname!

I must admit that I'm not too sure about him.  Hasn't got a particularly good scoring record in the second tier of Italian football and I would prefer to give Kozak a chance.

I would prefer us to sign a striker better than Kozak and Avenatti.  If we have any funds left, I would like us to sign a proven striker.

I put in another thread that I would like that too, even if it was only on a season long loan basis while everyone else settle down and find their feet.  He wouldn't need to start every game, just someone who could come in and do a job when required.  Dzeko would have been ideal, if a little unrealistic.

perhaps to replace Helvetian Senderos in the squad.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

I have a strong leaning towards Italic defenders.

[Percy McCarthy]

SSN saying that Sourhampton will sell Fonte if they can get that bloke with the crap Cockney accent from Celtic. If true I'd see this as us taking it up another notch. Is he a left or right-footed? If right, Richards to right-back? That would be a quality back-four.

Keep 'em coming Villa.
