  1. Lol, we are so used to having a hermit for an owner that we spend page after page on here speculating about someone joining then suddenly someone has the sense to just ask Dr X outright and gets a straight answer.

    Lets have 10 pages discussing RVP now then ask him that one too.

    That said, if we all actually agree on someone we all want perhaps we could smuggle the name into one of the great mans fortune cookies!

    Ayew and Amavi will definitely stay! We'll get striker but be confident with the manager team knowing what to do! - Tony XIa Juy 22nd

    If Tone says they're staying thats good enough for me! New striker coming too.

    I'm happy.

  3. As far as strikers go I would like to see Kozak, Gabby & Sinclair (not sure if hes classed as a striker at the mo) shipped out. Then add 2 more to Ayew & Gestede. Wouldnt mind trying to tempt Andre Ayew to join his brother if possible. Good player IMO

    Is it a buy out clause, or a release clause? One means the player can buy out their own contract for a set amount. The other we're obliged to release them if a club meets a certain  bid. 

    It doesnt matter either way. The result is (if the rumour is true) that Villa will receive £7m (which we apparently dont need) from whoever wants to buy his contract, and we will struggle to replace him!

    I agree.  In the championship players like him and Veretout would be brilliant signings for us if we were looking to buy them.  We will not replace for 7M in the current market

    Exactly this!

    A championship team will not attract better players than this. Its a buy out clause so it is what it is. The only thing we can do about it is offer him a new deal which is more attractive than any offers coming in. Its a lot easier (and probably cheaper) than trying to replace him.

    Maybe not but I can see a fair few leaving as RDM has already said our squad is too big and we have yet to sell anyone.

    Think he was looking at Gabby when he said that. The dressing room seemed crowded thats all,

    Breaking news: Gollini signs
    Share

    Aston Villa Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini.

    Gollini, 21, arrives from Hellas Verona and has penned a four-year deal.

    The highly-rated Italian U21 shot-stopper has now linked up with Roberto Di Matteo’s squad as they build up their fitness levels at a training camp in Austria.

    Boss Di Matteo said: “I am very pleased to have brought in Pierluigi.

    “We have managed to sign him despite the fact he was being chased by a number of top sides and that is a great sign.

    “He’s a young man but has plenty of experience and I’m sure he’ll prove to be an excellent signing for the Club.”
