Aston Villa have asked about permanent deal for Matej Kovar, Hull City among loan suitors

Interestingly, the future of Matej Kovar is still to be decided. The 23-year-old won the league with Sparta Prague last season and while they wanted him this season as well, it seems like the Reds want a permanent exit.

First good link to a backup keeper

[Ian.]

Phew!

[Mellin]

Should get Benteke in as backup just because.

Agreed it's not as daft as it sounds.

Esperienced, knows the club, can finish better than Watkins and for one year it'd make sense.

I know it's not happening BTW.

But it wouldn't be a terrible idea. I doubt he's even on much in the MLS.

The Beast is Back! He even says that the Villa were his best playing days. And we were shite then. So come on, alien-ears, let's be 'avin ya.

My German Eintracht supporting neighbour here in Cyprus says this the guy we should look to sign and he’s surprised they have managed to hang in to him so far

Kolo-muani

He's tipped to end up at a 'bigger' club than us. Probably see him at PSG when man baby leaves.

Neymar is leaving too?

It is sort of a bit daft. He's in the MLS for a reason and that's because he's nowhere near good enough anymore. I loved him but I wouldn't touch him now. No sentimentality in this dojo.

It appears Unai said he’s sticking with Olsen as back up next season so no new keeper coming in

[Gareth]

Obviously not planning on winning a cup game this season if we are planning to use Concrete Feet as number two again

there's got to be someone in the u21's that isn't worse than Olsen

[ADVILLAFAN]

Think Sinisalo is already going out on loan.

Marschall or Zych maybe?

I hope it's a MON / Gavin McCann situation, where MON raved about how 'wonderful' a player the crab was. And promptly sold him a few weeks later.

It is as daft as it sounds and a terrible idea.
