A Danish journalist ( at Danish TV2) I have as a friend said this in a PM on other forums to me : ''Looks like Jores Okore to Aston Villa is a done deal - so two Danes at Villa next season.'' Also mentioned this: ''Not sure why Villa wants him. Don't they already have plenty of strikers? That said, Helenius' a great talent. Recently won an UEFA award as player of the year in the Danish league. Not that I agree with it, but he did have a great season, being the most "productive" player with 16 goals and 7 assists (combined, that's more than anyone else in the league). From sources, I know that Ajax wanted him in the Winter transfer window. Not sure why it fell through.''

AWESSSOME

This is about where I am as well. I really hope he comes in and hits the ground running but it is a massive ask for a 20 year old CB to step up and fix our defence. Even Baker is older and more experienced than him and CB is a position where experience really counts for something. Indeed. Samba as well as many others QPR players showed everyone that Experience is indeed needed to achieve success!!!! Meanwhile teams like Borussia constantly shows that young players just can't make it, too young and inexperienced

I am pretty sure Agbonlahor will stay 74 actually. That means he'll be a silver and making EA $$$$$$ because of his pace...

As mentioned before, too much smoke on one side, no quotes on the other. Whats all this smoke business, technically Kendrick was right as Tonev deal won't be completed till this week. On one hand, you have the Montpellier chairman telling the media that there had been a bid from us, then the player himself specifically spoke about us and acknowledged that there was interest. Then there was all the twitter gossip about our people meeting Belhanda - taken on its own, it's not much. but when you couple it with official acknowledgement of our interest from Montpellier, the case for our interest in the player is much stronger. On the other hand, one quote-less and very dubious newspaper article, plus tweets from Kendrick, which are not always to be trusted (as mentioned before). Doesn't the fact that you had to use the word "technically" make Kendrick sound less trustworthy? "Technically" is a term that's used almost exclusively to suggest that something is ambiguous without being strictly be wrong or untrue. It is possible for someone to "technically" say the truth, while simultaneously deliberately throw people off the scent. (Just to illustrate my point, it is "technically" true that no signings are made until Jul 1. But would you, for example, trust an ITK who claimed that Villa would not sign any new players until Jul 1?) and the £10 - £15m fee , and likley £75k wages - all against what type of player Lambert has said we are after. What did you smoke ? He's around 10, 20 at big maximum. Where the hell did you get 75k from ?

Yes, 2 days indeed So yeah, he also makes mistakes everyone..

http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/andreas-weimann-agrees-sign-new-4282760 YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSsssss Just Benteke to go and I'll be supper happy!

The mock ups are way better. But the chances are probably higher of jersey like posted above, rather than a mockup.

A force in like finishing 10th? Any higher than that would be extremely difficult with the squad we have right now. Don't forget that the likes of Fulham are going to sign players as well, and odds are they will be signing players with more experience that will take the league easier. Any money you like says we finish higher than 10th next season, with or without Belhanda. It's pointless worrying about what other clubs are doing. Remember how many of us were quaking in our boots last year looking at QPR's signings! They bought Samba for huge bucks and we bought a 'nobody' from Claremont Foot. Hmmm... I'll take the nobody thank you very much. Tbf Samba was pretty good minus a couple games and surely couldve helped our defense. I think they're bigger problems were last summer For 100,000 per week? You are having a laugh. Samba was supposed to have experience. I ( and Lambert agrees ) say **** experience.

indykaila News ‏@indykaila25m Little update for #Villa coming. #AVFC He has 50,000 followers and has some pretty accurate info I hear. I am hoping the update is going be Benteke and Andi extending the deals.

It takes time dude. You should be happy we got already out first signing in June! ...

Belhanda anyone?

I don't think he's injury prone. However it's likely he'll pick up at least one injury during the whole season. But it terms of his defending, he's bit overrated here imo.

Tonev is no way faster than Gabby. Lol , come on... Did you even watch him play? He's relatively fast. But not super fast.

He has very powerful 'atomic' right and left foot

Don't confuse what you want or what you think we need with what we actually need. erm... Okeeey.......? Aren't we all just offering opinions on what we think actually need though? Absolutely. Perhaps indicate why you believe age to be the most important factor for a Villa defender. Whether that was your intention or not, that's what you suggested! Age is a major factor in football is it not? We appear to have an abundance of youth at CB, do we really need another? That's my note of caution on this rumour. Do you know a CB under the name of Varane? He seems to be disliking your thinking a lot Okore is light years ahead of Clark as CB, and Baker. He might be even better than Vlaar, even at this point. Plus he has more potential than any of them.

Okore destroyed Chelsea's attackive side in CL has to be said. He outpaced Moses, Torres etc. Great passing, comfortable on the ball during the match. Strong. He has massive potential and would walk into our squad. If you think otherwise, you have never seen him or heard of him before we have linked with him, so reserve your judgement please.. He's on same level as Shawcross if not better. As well as younger, faster, way more potential, could be sold in future for big money etc. etc.

I am not overly excited having watched him play few times for Lech However he could be a very good rotation player for us.

Great. For away jersey that would be preety sweet. Hopefully at last something classy, rather than some random colours.

It's COMPLETELY against Lambert's views and policies though? No chance. Let's hope so..!

Defoe is solid, slight improvement over Bent possibly, does more for the team I guess? Although I don't like the thought of it. It could happen though.

Medium in what? 20 years of age. Massive potential. Showed good performances already in CL.Strong. Relatively fast for CB as well. What more can you want? He's the kind of signing that could be this transfer's season Benteke for us, although as a defender

YES please! Strong. Young. ( Black - it always helps as a defender ) He's a future beast. Although not too sure he'd be first starter for us straight away, give him few matches and will be great.

If we pull that offff....... I wil have an orgam But chances of that are not that high...

Am I the only one here thinking already how much we could get for Hughes in 2-3 years time if we got him in this summer window ? Yeah... sad reality. At this rate of potential youngsters coming to us, we are potentially becoming the 'English Ajax' :L I'd love him here though, heaps of potential.
