I'd be shocked if we were able to find a buyer for any of those players at those prices.

Already have for at least 3 of them

RDM and his staff wouldnt let Stan join the training if was not fit enough. He has been training with U21 since april, so I so I am sure they know his status before he joined. No coach want players in training that cant keep up. As we can see on @jamaicanvillans pic he looks very fit. I am confident that the staff who follow him everyday is good judges 

How many have seen the game? No one on this forum i think? But lots of opinions from photos, which tell us nothing. Gregg Evans on Bham Mail saw the game and was impressed, although Stan still not fully fit. Jugde from what you see, not from what you think but dont know.

"Italian goalkeeper excited at opportunity to join ‘glorious’ Aston Villa"

http://7500toholte.sbnation.com/2016/7/6/12105532/italian-goalkeeper-excited-at-opportunity-to-join-glorious-aston-villa

Aston Villa target Pierluigi Gollini was cornered by Italy’s Sky Sport in an airport today and for those who can speak Italian, he dropped a few gems in the following interview.

Italian? I can’t speak it myself, but I’m fortunate enough to work with someone who can. Michele Pasquali of the AC Milan Offside stepped in to help me out with the language barrier. He took a look at the video and was able to reveal some exciting information.

‘It seems that Gollini, who played at Hellas Verona last season, signed with Aston Villa. He said he's happy to join such a "glorious" (literally) club and he thinks it's a great opportunity for him to play for them. Also, it seems that Verona wanted him to stay but they couldn't reach an agreement so he was happy to agree to Di Matteo's offer.’

Donnarumma is I think played 30 games for AC Milan last year and is 17. 

So he will be ready for us when we are top 3 in Europe:-)

Collini is U21 keeper for Italy

...but they didn't qualify. Largely because they have shit players like Hutton still playing for them.

He is abysmal.

The grass is not greener on the other side of the fence. It is lot of talk here ablout players thats not better then what we already have, just because they have som light moments in the Euro2016. Gunter is one, Robson-Kanu is another. Lot of the Iceland players are quit avarage in the swedish leageu, but all of a sudden stars. See how they play day out and day in in their leagues. And why they ae playing in the leagues they do

In my opinion, £1m is a bargain for an international full back who has premier league experience, I've always rated him albeit from a distance 

We got an international right back already. If Scotland was i Euro2016 Hutton would have played. I dont think Gunter is better

Guzan is doin very well in Copa America and USA plays semifinal against Argentina and Guzan is the main reason. Last year we had crap management and most players lost confidence. I will trust RDM and his team-

We have better options in Sweden then Antonsson

We all got different opinions on what we need coming season. No need to get abusive on opinions you dont share. What many are doin is playing fantasy football with Dr Xia money. It can be fun, but we must realize we are all a bunch of happy amatuers. I put my trust in RDM and his team and i am sure we will have a good competitive team when the season start, without flooding money "Sheik City" way

What about this Naranjo? http://www.eurosport.co.uk/football/jose-naranjo_prs365790/person.shtml

Its clear that no matter who the new manager will be, there will be lot of moaners among villa fans, because we are "a big club"

Do you think the likes of Pearson or DiMatteo would be impressed knowing they were second choice.  The sort of man Pearson is it wouldnt surprise me that he would say FU.

Who said he was first choice?

Maybe Moyes wasnt first choice and got a way to save face?

He's no worse, except that he doesn't have the money they have.

And how do you know that? Nobody else seems to know how much money he can rise

I cant help but smile when I see Hepburn-Murphy got 10 votes in MoM for touching the ball ONE time. Not that I mind TS give him a chance

t is not all about the fans, it is also about the players to show passion for the fans. They have to show that they are with the fans all the way. At the Burton game, a friendly away, 2300 fans showed up. After the game, the players just apploud little from the middle line. Why not walk up to the fans?

I am Swedish and watch a lot of Swedish football. The players here shows much more passion for the fans then players in the PL. When you win you celebrate with the fans. You always walk around and apploud the fans, home and away.

The 12Th man most be one with the team. I always miss this when I visit VP. It is up to the team to make VP rock again If they show passion for the game and for the fans I am sure it will.

Vlaar would be a decent signing.

Now that's what football should be about, passion.

I have never had "another" team or even the slightest soft spot for another club but after watching that I'm going to start looking at Feyenoord games with interest.

Come on!

In Sweden where I live, the players always celebrates with the fans after a win. Sometimes they dive, sometimes they do the "wave". This is home or away. Away players always walk over to the fans and thank them for the support.

2300 villasupporters went to Burton in a friendly to support the team. I think they were worth more then a littel clap from the middle.

Yes, I would like to see some passion like Feyenoord from the Villa-players and the fans will really be the 12 man.

Mat Kendrick has said on Twitter that he's being monitored.

Mat was very quick on this one 8)

In Lambo I trust

Done some more googling, and the guy in the blue shirt looks a bit like Vlaar's agent Arnold Oosterveer.

Good work. I think you right

I'd take Howson

Snodgrass is meh

Howson is with squad in Austria, next.

Jesus you are a sad case aren't you? The window is open for 45 more days and you think a player is going to stay because he went to the pre-season tour? You support Norwich, none of your players would want to stay if any offer came in from a proper Premie League-club, as opposed to staying at one with a 95% probability of relegating within the next two years.

But if Howson is in Austria, he can´t be in picture

But Ash didn't say he was in the picture, just that he'd take him. :winkold:

OK some missunderstanding 8)
