on a serious note its foolish to bet, deals can collapse as quick as they can be signed.

I have 100% so far and the same source for them has told me about this deal, but this doesn't mean its set in stone, if it doesn't happen it doesn't happen, you ask me to post what i know so that is what i do but to clarify i dont post for people to risk something that is out of everyone's hands.

im a Villa fan so i hope as much as you the news is true.

Afternoon all sorry been a bit quiet over the past couple of weeks...hectic schedule! 

Fingers crossed Ravel should be announced fairly shortly. Will update as and when. 

Hi fellow Villans!

I'm now abroad for 2 weeks, (yes I could of picked a better time) so being honest I will be out the loop on what's going on as I'm actually relaxing! Rather than getting moaned at by the misses for working and running round like a blue ass fly!

If I hear of anything or get bored of waiting 2 hours to get out the door ill have a quick scan, no new news apart from jedinak is obviously done! 

Speak soon, UTV!

Anything regarding Hernandeez, Jedinak, Bamford, De Laet or any others?  On the cards, not on the cards?

Da Laet is all but done, Monday expecting an announcement, Jedinak a little behind but again won't be far after Da Laet.

hernandez made enquires and I Bamford I really don't know at this moment in time.

Morrison has now added a few Villa fan sites to his twitter following.  He really is **** with us isn't he?!  

I said we turned the screw on this deal last week, it's still dragging much to the annoyance to us but the ball is completely in Lazio court, if they nod it's done.

@villa_southerner any news please?

Yes and no....

basically the board and staff certainly aren't sitting around, there's bids in enquires made and a lot of them.

However things are constantly changing when I said about Elphick signing there wasn't much competiton and pretty straight forward to conclude however I was told one day Bamford was close then next day it's off, and I know how quick some of you are to jump on the bandwagon with wrong information! so I've been being cautious recently as the last 5 days deals have done a whole 360.

all the names mentioned banded around on here all very credible, there isn't anyone out of left field, I'm still being told Jedinak is close even with the media reports, we still want Morrison, Hernandez, Wells etc...but it's patience at present.

From what I've been told a bid is in for Nakhi Wells.....and there is interest from us for McNair however at present Stoke look in pole position.

That's purely because he missed some of pre season through picking up an injury

Possibly to a degree but the main reason is he is a big personality within the team and they don't want that around the first team.

I notice our resident ITK liked this post. 

Perhaps he and IT7 are working on old, pre-McScoremack news. If not, perhaps the plan is indeed to win every game 6-5?

No complaints from me if we sign another striker. Covers our arse against any late minute bids for Ayew too.  

Di Matteo has always been in for Bamford from day one its never really gone away from Both sides and that's the only info I've heard on a striker, it might be someone else, and if it is I have no idea who, I don't always know it all! So could be a nice suprise, as was McCormack as that happened very quickly!

UTV! Feeling slightly more positive now for a good season.

anything on the horizon villa_southerner?

Was told today the Ravel Morrison fire has been re-ignited again but believe we're still far away from getting it complete.
