which press?

oh dear, i assume you must be a brilliant businessman. Something I have in common with our owner. Difference is the little money I have I didn't get off daddy. If you want to keep falling for the spin and PR then go for it. It's quite clear that the club called in their mates in the press to help them out after Saturday. And these 'two quality signings'? A rejected bid for someone in the Belgium league and another player from the lower leagues which would still bring our spending to lower than last season. You never accept the first bid thats just basic, we would probably have never expected the first bid to be accepted. Stop **** moaning. OMG... we had 6 bids rejected for Nzogbia last summer, we had 3 bids for Bent rejected and lately we had 2 bids for Lowton rejected!!!! it's what business is all about! have you never gone to a car boot and haggle the price??

Ding Ding Ding then i would prefer Ba!

100% yes for Carroll! but i'm sure he'll end up at Newcastle or a London team i.e West Ham or QPR

i think this pic does look a lot like Ramis!

i think it was confirmed that the hold up was because Olympiakos had registered Makoun as a perm player and not on loan deeming his Visa to work for Aston Villa void! because of this we have had to re-apply... I'm sure Mat Kendrick said something along those lines on his chat a few days ago. the hold up is because we are now awaiting for Olypiakos to confirm to work permit department that he was only on loan and not perm! things should all then be sorted! hope this is the case anyhow

Or perhaps she just got tired of explaining to people who were too thick to understand: She was relaying information fromas Twitter. Do you get that, at all? Now maybe? :cry: If you look at previous speculation posts which were deleted she claimed to have spoken to someone close to whittingham saying he had cut his holiday short to sign then as she was gradually found out she changed her sources to people on twitter which just proves she is NITK I’m sure JulieB knows a lot more than people make out se does! r.e Whitts she even had the photo of her mate with him on his stag night... I actually find her tweets and posts on VT very good! It’s the same regards any info people get, some things materialise and something it doesn’t! Same as everyday life.. Come back Julie..

I think this page has run its course now! While it's open there is still going to be Norwich fans on here giving their 2 pence worth and then some irate villa fans having a go back! It’s over now!!!! We have Lambert, Culverhouse and Karsa and all is good at the Villa! Lock the page mods...let’s all move on – BRING ON THE NEW SEASON!! PAUL LAMBERTS CLARET N BLUE ARMY!! UTV

So does anyone know what the personal reasons are this time? could be that the Greek league didn't finish until 1 weeks after our league or 2 weeks if in playoffs?

Matkendrick has stated contrary to reports Villa have not made an offer for Bertrand!

he is a straight replacement for Dr Ian McGuinness he was also our fitness coach under Martin O'Neil (yes the man who made us fit till 90min when we scored most of our winning goals!

more backroom staff added... Aston Villa FC ‏@AVFCOfficial Roddy MacDonald has returned to Villa from Celtic, assuming his role as head of sport and exercise medicine with immediate effect. #AVFC

also according to the Rennes twitter account then he is in training today! and he denied any rumours that he's been to England

added.. Mat Kendrick ‏@MatKendrick For all those asking, I'm told there's no truth in rumours that Rennes attacking midfielder Yacine Brahimi is joining Villa. #avfc

According to Mat Kendrick in today’s mail The club has said no substance to this Brahimi rumour!!
