  1. Dutch media are reporting it people.  Time to get excited

     

    You got a link to dutch media reporting it? All I can see right now is confirmation of the tweet that was sent by a fan which in turn was subsequently linked to a fansite, which has now been reconfirmed by a dutch account that confirms link came from fansite. All abit confusing. ; )

     

    I hope it is true. Great to have all these links.

    Aston Villa FC @AVFCOfficial 1m

    Villa in negotiations with Aalborg over Danish forward Nicklas Helenius. http://bit.ly/11ESdJu  #AVFC

     

    Even says on wiki they've had an offer accepted :Phttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicklas_Helenius

     

    22, 6ft5, sounds like a Benteke replacement to me.

     

    Or god forbid, Lambert is actually looking to build a quality squad that has different options available and competition for places. Benteke will be here next season. Not ITK.

    No but I got sent a message on twitter by someone who says it's happening

     

    Let me guess, Mr attention seeker himself that is ASTVIL123. Who would have thought it.

     

     

    To be fair it isn't him who's saying it, he's just reporting what others are telling him. He got the Andi contract spot on today hours before it happened.

     

    Of course he did.

  4. One thing that makes me quite confident that we are in for him is that the initial reports came in the Danish press. If you look back at the players that Lambert has signed from overseas so far ( Benteke, Vlaar, KEA and Sylla ) then reports of a possible transfer first broke in their countries press first before the UK press got wind of it. I genuinely don't think the UK and local press have a clue what lambert is up to and long may it continue too.

    Its just an observation and I'm not ITK in the slightest but I do think there might be something in this and the Belhanda story. Fingers crossed !

     

    Bang on mate.  Let's hope this is a good omen for both Belhanda and Okore.

  5. Friend of mine is Wisla Krakow fan and said he is a player that only has a good game 1 in 7 and even that 1 game is probably not up to Premier LEague standard. He also thought was hilarious that we are willing to pay that much cash for a player that isnt a regular.

     

    He knows his football and ill be a bit sceptical about this and hope Lambert pulls another gem out

     

    Oh blimey, let's not bother bringing this guy in...He sounds useless.

     

    I mean, come on. With the greatest of respect to your friend, but who gives a damn if he thinks it is hilarious what the reported figure is and whether he believes he is up to Premier League standard. I am more than happy to show some faith in Lambert; along with trusting his philosophy and policy of moulding young players who are looking to develop into better players under his tutelage.

     

    Every signing is a risk. I seem to remember plenty of people writing off Benteke and all the rest of our signings for that matter before they had even kicked a ball. It would appear a few fans haven't learnt from those mistakes.

     

    Trust Lambert.

  6. Have we heard anything about him today? 

     

    He rang me earlier for a brief chat. I bought him a pre-pay phone so no-one would listen to our calls. Can't say too much right now, but I am meeting him at airport the tomorrow. But which one....

    :detect:

    The Tonev link is evidence that like last close season we will not be chasing the "usual suspects" and therefore talk of Shawcross, Huddlestone and Defoe is a waste time and wide of the mark.

    Are you the same Mike McKenna who was giving Kendrick the low down on Tonev?

     

    No, I have no idea who that guy is and until I saw the link here I had never heard of Tonev.

     

     

    Methinks something fishy is going on here.

     

    What you think there is only one "Mike McKenna" and that I am lying?

     

    Haha. I think he was joking mate. Cheers for the reply.
