My ex Camp Hill mate who owns the bar in the colonnade facing Nice harbour says Cyprien is very good.
As in the former HMP Camp Hill?

There’s no truth in the Cyprien link. We haven’t made a bid but are looking at new players in midfield and up front.

people from the outside say the same about Grealish....

Alli would need to work hard in what is a struggling team compared to what he's used to in the top 6.

Alli strikes me as a Lennon type character. Exploded on the scene and then rapidly declined once he hit his mid-20's That's a no from me..

My first thought when linked to a player... is he better than what we already have?

If we're talking the school, my brother went there.

However, the useless git doesn't own a bar in Nice.

I'm not against Alli, although his wages - which i imagine are pretty high - and motivation for coming to Villa would need to looked at carefully.

Bit of a pipe dream, but I'm kind of hoping for more of a statement signing. Our Ruud Guillit. Alli strikes me as the sort of player Newcastle or West Ham would buy, if you know what I mean.

yeah whatever you think about Maureen, he seems to weed out the players he doesn't think have the right attitude.

From Dean's interview today, makes it sound like we might be close to a winger signing.  "Things change quickly in football and our Sporting Director has his finger on the pulse!" One in, a couple out and then we might look at central midfield afterwards.

I bow to nobody in my love and admiration for each and every Beatle, but Imagine is the most terrible pile of shit.
