That says nothing about a 30m bid...

Here's the piece;

ASTON VILLA are to test Celtic with a £30million bid for French goal machine Odsonne Edouard.

Villa plan to spend big and have several targets but the forward, 22, is their priority.

Boss Dean Smith is also keen on Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma from his old club Brentford.

But he first wants to find out if Edouard can be snatched from the Scottish champions after bagging 28 goals last season.

Arsenal may drop out of the race to leave the door open for the Midlanders.

Crystal Palace and Leicester are also in the hunt.

Edouard has not shown any sign of being interested in a move to a ‘lesser’ English club but Villa have cash to tempt him with a major contract.

Their financial power is also giving them a chance in the Watkins and Benrahma races.

Looks a bloody good player. I hope we’re truly in for him.

"'lesser' English club" gets right on my tits, what an arsehole.

Totally agree. Patronising twat.

[PaulWinch again]

Thing is being called a “lesser club” is bloody annoying, but until we show we’re not one from a performance perspective that’s what’s many will perceive us as.

“If it’s true“ is the most accurate statement made every transfer window.

I doubt Stylian felt he was moving to a lesser English club.

Think that's Nicko's particular axe to grind after a few run ins with Villa fans in the past on twitter.

Read an article this week about him; it's going to be difficult to get him with Celtic all geared for getting the 10th league title but as an opening bid it sounds serious. Hope it's true.

I’m a big fan of Edouard. He’s strong and good on the ball. We haven’t had a striker that can contribute in build up play in a long, long time. He’s got good work ethic and makes great off the ball runs. His composure is exactly what we need in front of net.

I would be happy if we got him in.
