looks like Adam Johnson will be out on loan within the next 48 hours, Man city to wrap up Sinclair signing. I don't think Villa are even sniffing about for johnson, seems everton and sunderland are being touted as possible destination, shame!

Watching MOTD, it struck me that the teams that won had very good midfields, even west brom seem to have stronger midfield than ours, we need some brute force and pace in our middle

i actually wouldn't mind owen on a temp contract, maybe a year, could see him nabbing 8-10 goals in a season, isnt he on a free? wages could be pretty high though

to villa? for real?

I see Nzonzi still hasn't moved on from Blackburn, his Sevilla loan won't happen. Blackburn need to sell him, we should be in there like a shot!

This is my theory: The more I think about it, the more I think that Hutton and Warnock (if they do leave) will only leave on the final days of the window. Its quite well publicised that we are struggling to shift these two. If you were a manager you would wait until the last few days to force our hands, seeing as we are that desperate. Would not be surprised if Martin O Neils makes a last minute ditched bid for Warnock, as for Hutton **** knows who would want him lol. If this is the case, we got to move for players regardless of whether they leave or not, we must have a contingency plan in case they do not move on.

Agreed from todays performance johnson would be ideal for us, great on the flanks and just what we need. Judging by carrols performance 2day no thanks, he is far too inconsistent, don't need another one of them at villa

Saw on twitter that it was a slight nock to the ankle, let's hope its true, need a strong midfield against west ham, although he may be be rested on saturday

What will the midfield line up be? KEA, Herd, N Zogbia, Ireland and Bannan/Gardner? Carruthers, Gabby, Holman, Albrighton, Dunne all out injured. Time to strengthen the squad

Someone on the comments section on astonvilla news and views has said that we have had a bid accepted for adam johnson, and been told by one of the villa staff. Could there be truth in this?

yeah would be the quality needed in midfield, desperately truing to think of a defensive midfielder for us, can't think of anyone who we can...NZonzi maybe hear heres going out on loan but blackburn asking for £10mill

rumour on twitter we have enquired about adam johnson on season long loan

I think PL will get the required parts in time...we're not going to be relegated this year, and the style of play will be much nicer...I'm worry free at this point...I know there will be some bumps on the road, but I'm going to sit back and actually enjoy the football this year I think the sales of hutton and warnock are the springboard for avfc to push on for further signings! Lambert must have his targets lined up, I do belive come end of transfer window we will be satisfied with the signings

Having read various views it seems there is a general consensus that a LB is priority. I have no doubt lambert has someone lined up for this. But after that appointment where does our priorities lie?? Another CB?or wait for dunne? Another winger? A DM destroyer? A striker? So many question marks, wish it were 2 questions shorter than the current predicament but I have faith in lambert

Transfer ITK ‏@ITK_TRANSFER Its my understanding the club that have been reported over Matt Phillips was Aston Villa. #avfc

we already have gabby for raw pace and no footballing brain

Guidetti or Lukaku would be jizzworthy signings!!

Wow... i hope this is legit. Ive never been so excited Not sure how reliable he is to be fair, would be cool though. Unfortunately I'm getting the feeling that we will be stuck with Messrs Hutton and Warnock this season

Villa Lobby ‏@villa_lobby Villa fans. Expecting a signing that is really going to shock some fans. Can't say too much now as I don't want to jeopardize it. #avfc

I desperately want a new winger to supply some pace and width on the right. I hope we can sign adam johnson, could be the big name we need or would settle for cheaper option of yacine brahimi or possibly giovanni from tottenham, last year of contract would be an interesting prospect. I hope lambert signs a quality left back rather than a championship unknown, think I'd prefer premier league experience ie olsen from blackburn. Hoping this week will see more additions. Oh n whatever happened to hutton leaving??

Find it absurd for a premier league club to wait for a sale before announcing a new signing. So what if collins does not go through? Do we tell vlaar to go back home? Very odd. Although I'm sure there's a more logical explanation for this delay

Given Lowton Vlaar Clarke Bennet El ahmadi Sinclair Holman Ireland or Bannan Bent Guidetti Now that’s an awesome team!

I may be clutching at straws but is this code for what to expect? Please let it be true!!

From footballcourier.com Could be a bargain if we got him

heard on talksport west ham have secured his signing, could be a good opening day fixture, heres hoping he does not open his account against us!
