Aston Villa assessing a deal for Dijon striker Julio Tavares
The Daily Mail are claiming that Championship side Aston Villa are considering a deadline day move for Dijon striker Julio Tavares.

The outlet claims that a deal could be done for £2.5m, but Get French Football News understands that Dijon would be looking for considerably more than that in order to sell the Cape Verde international.

If we do sign him, perhaps Heaven won't be missing an Angel after all.

Hopefully they get the paperwork signed a bit quicker than in the Bryan non-deal.  It Only Takes a Minute, afterall.

It's a different sort of role in that formation though. Like how Walker played there for England and G Barry played there brilliantly for us when he broke through but clearly couldn't play CB in a 4-4-2

So far then 2 goalkeepers 1 defender 1 midfielder I think there will be 3 more all on loan before the loan window shuts

The Man Citeh lad who was sitting with Alex Bruce on Monday has gone to Preston, by the looks of it.

as someone said earlier on here

he said ' Mr Bruce , there is no way I could do what Hutton just did .. sorry I will have to go Preston'

[KevinGage]

Look at the runs of the Scottish Cafu ye mighty and despair.

If Sky Sports News were banned from using the word 'understands' they'd not be able to cope

Stories seem to be Done Deal, Developing or Sky Sources.

I’m sure you can guess which one is the most prevalent.

[Drummond]

BREAKING* Sky Sports News understands.

I'm still expecting another youtube reveal this evening

Bristol City and Aston Villa linked with Chelsea left-back - everything to know about Jay Dasilva

All you need to know about the England under-20 international

13:14, 9 AUG 2018Updated13:44, 9 AUG 2018
Bristol City are closing in on a deal for Chelsea youngster Jay Dasilva.

Chelsea are expected to sell or loan out up to 15 players by the end of August, and Dasilva looks to be part of this offload.

Bristol City defender Joe Bryan will complete his move to Premier League club Fulham today after he made a U-turn on Aston Villa at the 11th hour.

And Dasilva is set to be his replacement although there is late interest from Aston Villa.

Dasilva spent last season on loan at Charlton, made 44 appearances, and looks set for a move to the Championship. At Charlton he was named player of the year.

“I’m definitely surprised,” Dasilva told Charlton’s official website after picking up the honour. “But I’m very delighted and proud to have won it.

I reckon before the end of August we will have Snodgrass back on loan and we’re linked Success also. So doesn’t have to all happen today. A LB would be nice but if after RDL comes back Hutton goes to LB it’s certainly not the end of the world.

I keep forgetting about Ritchie.

You can't buy success.
