I got that aswell. A couple of hours ago now so I've questioned it.

This has just popped up on my Facebook feed, has to be bollocks surely as he's been pictured at Villa Park.  What's the time lapse I wonder?

Maybe they're stalling to announce all the signings together?

You mean like team Sky crossing the finish line of the Tour de France?

Hopefully it'll be a x3 Friday bounce fest. God knows we've earned it.

Apologies if this has already been suggested but maybe Gestede is happening due to Adebayor deal falling through?

I do hope so. I much prefer Gestede.

I did think that but we'd have moved very quickly following adebayor's visit - it would have to have fallen through v soon after that.

But I completely agree I can't see why we need all these centre forwards. I'd imagined we'll play one up w grealish and / or Gil in behind a lot

Does seem a bit odd

Me too, we don't need him with Gestede coming in. Can't imagine him being a happy camper as second choice behind Gestede and that's a headache we could do without. Think the odds on this signing being a disaster have increased with the news Gestede is on his way

Cambiasso was at BH a few weeks ago, apparently.

He also had a medical with us last before ending up (as nobody really goes there by choice) at Leicester.

Amafiltano was also seen around Bodymoor during Houllier's time.

We usually assume that if a player gets that far, it is a formality that they will sign. But for the players themselves, that initial visit might just be part of the decision process. Or everything might be fine on that front, but the deal falls through for other reasons.

Agree on both of these posts.
