I'd say we've all just been told. It's pretty obvious that we're not going to sign Clyne now we've just signed another right back...

TBF NuremburgVillain please look at my post last night. Villa had a verbal agreement with the player concerned.

So Clyne had agrred to come but his agent just wanted too much cash?

No he'd agreed to come but his agent thought he could get a better deal & was persuading him to look elsewhere.

at least that's my understanding of what's happened. Just basically messing us about after it had all been agreed

As I said the other day - if this fell through blame the people around Clyne.

Perhaps MM or others will have more details in time.

Really though if he'd been any kind of success at Villa - if that's what his agent is all about - then surely he'd have been touting him

round for "a bigger move" as soon as possible.

Would we or Lambert realistically want that?

Has signed. Expect announcement around lunchtime.

Lets hope he can do it here, does this now rule out Nathaniel Clyne?

Apparently it does - Clyne's not coming just been told - messing us about so went elsewhere.

Verbal agreement as well with player - just goes to show it's all about agents and £££s!

Let's hope Lowton turns out to be a success like Jonny Howson - IIRC Lambert plucked him from the lower leagues and turned him into a really decent PL midfielder.

Culverhouse was a RB so I'm sure they know what they're doing.

Course if Hutton leaves would be nice to have both Lowton & Clyne, but I think Lichaj needs to be given a chance as well because he did well last season both at LB & RB.

Seems a lot of Sheffield United fans are not convinced he is good enough for us and that there are better options available. Just because we look like we are signing him (for peanuts too by the sounds), doesn't mean he will be our first choice right back next season. I thought the consensus was were signing 2 full backs anyway, so maybe Clyne is still an option.

Maybe but it sounds like Clyne has been messing us about, or at least his agents have and Lambert I wouldn't imagine is one to be trifled with - rumours now that Man Utd & Everton are courting him as well.

Sounds like he's not heading to West Ham from what Palace Chairman tweeted earlier.

Has signed. Expect announcement around lunchtime.

Well done Lambert for not standing being messed about and getting a RB sorted. Can play CB as well apparently.

Watched the full interview with Stan on AVTV - will be absolutely amazing if he can join in with "Pedal for Petrov" at some stage.

I'll definitely go and cheer them on when they come past here t'up North.

Someone just asked the question if Dan Gosling is tweeting Newcastle & Blackburn fans.... surely that might be a clue where he's going?

Are people going to moan if I mention that the Chairman of Palace has tweeted about Clyne tonight?

PLEASE LOOK AWAY NOW IF IT OFFENDS!

@CEO4TAG Clyne going West ham?

Steve Parish ‏@CEO4TAG

@JackAnderton1 Hi Jack, lots of rumours but no contact between the clubs , I'm a reliable source

Steve Parish ‏@CEO4TAG

@WHUFC_News @JackAnderton1 Your club can speak to the player direct and even sign him at which point the fee would be decided by a tribunal

Steve Parish ‏@CEO4TAG

@WHUFC_News @JackAnderton1 But they arn't

I was told last night Villa as far as they are concerned have a verbal agreement with Clyne to sign him

- if he signs for Spam or anyone else then it will be down to his agents procuring something different.

Nevermind the new staff being appointed...that has made me very happy indeed.

He really is a top bloke. Super happy to see him out and about. Keep fighting Stan!

I've just watched the video on You Tube AVFC official put up - he obviously get's upset - so hoping he comes out of this OK.

Petrov's been in today to training to meet all the players & Cully & Karsa - on his birthday.

According to Ian Taylor on that tweety thing...

Brilliant news he's out of hospital.

Judging by his re-tweet yesterday of someone singing "Brad is coming home...."

It sounds like he's pleased to be coming back. I think for an understudy there's not much better options TBH.

Where are you Wiz? Lets be 'avin you!

Ha ha was just thinking the same!

T'was always going to happen but glad it's all sorted now.

Onwards & Upwards!

Fourth_Official comes to mind.

Who also said OGS was the next manager of AVFC IIRC.

None of them should say deals are done & dusted because TBH until the player is signed no one can say for sure.

Agent_ITK is being proclaimed a hero for calling AVB to Spurs ages ago & RVP leaving Arsenal....... but he tweeted Clyne would be AVFC's first signing on Sunday. If Clyne doesn't sign at all...then he's going to look even more of a fool because he wasn't right .... KEA was our first signing the next day!

Let it go Julie. Wink

I didn't mean to sound like I was questioning VillaOnSea's ITK at all...just total confusion from so called twitter ITKs!

I saw you laying into the gulity party on the tweety thing Matt! Thought you'd be in a good mood after Murray's victory as well?!!!

Whose off to BMH to spy for VT?

Its always looked like West Ham, proven ITK's and the media haven't even mentioned us.

Who are the proven ITKs? and who in the media has mentioned Clyne off to West Ham apart from Talksport - Moose via twitter?

James Nursey & Kendrick tweeted that they'd been told Lambert was after Clyne IIRC.

As BOF said in the deleted thread - it's unfair to accuse anyone of spouting tosh because players can change their minds in football as in life,

right up to the last minute.

Yes looks like Clyne has chosen to stay in London & move

to Wet Spam!

Of course wages/signing on fee might be a factor as well I would think. These days players move where there agents tell them to.

If it's true & Clyne plumps for Bubble blowing Landan.....

Wonder if Lambert will go in for Naughton or maybe Gunter who he was chasing when he was at Norwich?

You should get a job in the News International legal dept, Trent

He's not listening - Bob Diamonds on the phone!

Is there going to be a new Transfer Speculation thread, or just this one for speculating about what happened to the old Transfer Speculation thread?

I think we've ALL worked out what happened to the old thread. #pressedthewrongbutton (in honour of the revamped thread title!)

How on earth does a whole thread get deleted anyhow?!!!

Never mind!

All JulieB's hard work down the toilet !!

Ha ha.... I'll cope.

Actually it makes me laugh because these days most of the stuff off twitter is posted by OTHER posters onto VT!

Or take to them with the blunt end of a shovel

Anyhow I'm off to watch Falling Skies so you can moan about me all you want!

Sheesh think next time I go to the garden centre I'm going to look out for a few of the grumpiest looking gnomes I can find for the garden,

& having named them everytime I look out of the kitchen window I can give them a wave!

Anyway, have you run out of rubbish to rip from twitter?

CastleBromVilla - I do not post rubbish from twitter thank you very much!

I might post funnies but I only repeat what I think has a good chance of being correct. Unless it is clearly rubbish which I say...SO STOP MOANING!

i was told same info as Julie B that it is one of Faulkner’s understudies!

I was joking when I tweeted that he was PFs understudy no one's told me that honestly......

Someone who supposedly has contacts at B6/BMH told me that he's asked about IncognitoAVFC's identity & no one appears to have a clue who he is at the club

However his deleted tweets at the time of Lambert's appointment were pretty priceless and appeared to be on the metal. And the fact that he has refused to name any players actually would make me think he may well be an insider or close to someone who is.
