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.

Polish league is in terms of quality around Championship / League 1 ( some teams ). So he's definitely a right player as last year policy Nothing wrong with it though, although not sure the clips are very useful except the fact he's strong two footed player. The opposition sucks in Polish league.

Dempsey? Are you people mad? How he fits into young and hungry I have no idea Overpaid, old and not worth it.

Sunderland to sign Modibo Diakite. A player that we should have been looking at ...

They won't be sad from it though. 3 million for Lech is massive amount, and considering that Tonev is quite inconsistent for them and wasn't stating in first 11 in matches, it's a good deal for them. Benteke was already ace at Genk with his scoring record + has been great for Belgium. I see nice potential in him, but can't see him becoming amazingly great, good solid option in midfield.

Yes, I've read some of the forums from Lech Poznan. they are delighted with anything over a 1million, 3 million would be a massive, massive scoop, all of their fans agree on that. What they say about Tonev? He's a good player, showed some flashes of brillianiance in few matches for them this year. However he wasn't greatly consistent for them and that's why he wasn't starting a few times for them during this year.

On slightly related note I just found this. What an awesome wallpaper that makes at home !! _0_ I'd buy that to my home! There's other for Villa as well. http://www.photowall.co.uk/photo-wallpaper/aston-villa-fc-euro-cup

I am relatively excited. Not as excited if it was a Belgian/Spanish/ Dutch player ( I know... very sterotypical view ) Worth a punt though. Could be another KEA, but also could prove to be a really good Winger/CAM for us.

One player to much ? ;p That's a very realistic players to go for, I'd be happy with those signings though. Although not about Ezekiel / Zuber as a signing, but would love them join us ( they are awesome in FIFA and FM too )

Never seen DJ play but he looks another type of Albrighton. Quick, swift, but lightweight and not cut for PL game. Too me there's too many types of players coming from academy with similar characteristics like that. However saying that likes Carruthers or Grealish look to have fantastic potential!

To answer your question: 1) United Arab Emirates ( Russia is acceptable 2nd ) Hmmm.... yeah that's about it. Unless we get super rich owners, Villa WILL always be a selling club no doubt. The really best we can become in future is kinda like Spurs postion now ( which I'd love ) I think, and still they have to ponder selling their best players. Helll... even a CL Finalistits, have to sell 2 of their best players..

I agree completely, very average, I'd rather have someone young and striving from success, preferable from Germany, Netherlands or Belgium Although if Bennet is somehow in our first 11 for next season then .............

I think he's being sarcastic ( or I hope so )

I don't mind loosing Weimann, there are better players out there. I love him as a player, but his loss wouldnt have as big impact as a loss of Benteke to us.

Don't get my hopes out mate ... That would be ONE HELL of a signing.. Did a quick google but couldn't find anything. Found speculation linking him to schalke, Liverpool and Fenerbahce but nothing about us You sure? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dries_Mertens 37 goals in 62 matches for PSV. He's 26, not youngest, but still potential. Regular for Belgium too. He's kinda similar to Hazard as a player. Quick, very technically gifted, good drbiller. Overall, great player, would be terrific signing.
