TBAR at it again. Expect Jedinak AND Ledley to sign, both at BMH today undergoing medicals! Oooh, I do hope so.

That, and pointy out the door, would be ace.

They said a deal for Danny Ings was done three months ago.

It's close

Could be tonight when James Chester move from @WBA to @AVFCOfficial formalised. Waiting for medical results.Around £7m.No hitch expected.

Fingers crossed. Good signing for me. Walks right into our starting lineup.

Brian Potter would walk right into our starting line up.

Just seen this on Sky Sports transfer centre so there could be legs in the Westwood rumours:

DYCHE: BURNLEY WILL BREAK RECORD

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has admitted the club are likely to break their transfer record before the closure of the window.

"It's likely we'll have to (break our transfer record)," he said. "I think it was Jose Mourinho that said: 'The market has no rules, you either get in it or you don't'. That is the simplest way of putting it.

"There's no governance over it, there's no reason or adjustment like a housing market, you can't predict the transfer market. One deal can ignite a number of different situations."

I think Burnley's record signing is Andre Gray at six million, maybe he's going for six and a half.

Ledley has a great beard. Not quite as great as Jedinak's, but we do need both to increase the beard ratio at the very least.

Being clean shaven is getting us fucking nowhere

[PeterWithesShin]

Not much in it but Ledley wins for me.

Aston Villa are ready to sell midfielder Ashley Westwood to Burnley as they plot to sign Mile Jedinak from Crystal Palace.

The Sun claim the Midlands giants are set for a major overhaul after losing their opening two matches of the season.

It is said centre-back Chester will join for around £6million from West Brom, right-back De Laet will transfer for £2.5million from Leicester and midfielder Jedinak is on the verge of a switch from Crystal Palace.

The Mirror now report that Villa will fund the arrival of Australia international Jedinak by offloading Westwood to long-term suitors Burnley.

Midlands newspaper The Express and Star claim the former Crewe man is currently earning in the region of £35,000-a-week at Villa Park.

Would be happy to see him go, though we would need to find another midfielder. If Westwood goes, and Jedinak and Morrison come in then that is fine by me.

If, as seems likely, we're looking to move Veretout out we need at least 1 more in sheer numbers so Westwood going as well means at least 2.

If Dyche pays £6m for Westwood he's a buffoon. Forget Nicolas Parsons, this would be the sale of the century.

[Dante Lavelli]

He's not been great so far but doesn't gardner = +1 compared to last season?

[PeterWithesShin]

Doesn't mean it's Westwood they are paying that for, just that they expect to break it before the window closes.

[paul_e]

Nope, lost sanchez and gana, added tish and gardner so we're even now but Veretout looks to be on his way so we need to replace him and then if this happens we'd need to replace westwood as well.

[Hairbandinho]

If Westwood goes, and we get Jedinak would someone like Will Hughes be a stupidly insane suggestion?

[Ads]

Rather keep Westwood for this season. He's ten times the player Gardner is.

If Dyche pays £6m for Westwood, he should be given a lap of honour at Villa Park during one of the home games.
