    Mentioned by me, @HeyAnty @Villain4Life @Vive_La_Villa on June 6th (Although credit to Skruff who first listed him on 3rd June) This comes from ManuLonjon, Yahoo France journalist, on twitter within the past hour (google translated): Very intrigued by this one personally.

    Seen some Nantes fans on Twitter believe someone is joining them at the weekend and their current thinking is it is Kalinic. Just some more speculation to add to the stew.

    The Nantes General Director Franck Kita had a press conference in the last couple of hours. There was this tidbit on Rongier (via DeepAI translate): "The door is only half-opened. He is an ambitious boy, who had a good season last year and we would like to keep him. He won't go anywhere and we won't let him go anywhere." Source: Nantes Official Youtube Channel and le10sport le10sport's article does not refer to Villa at all. Rongier's main link appears to be with Marseilles at the moment, who are looking at a couple of midfield options. They do refer back to an older article thinking he could be purchased for around £13.5m (which I think we knew already).

    BBC Sport confirming he needs immediate preventative surgery for a knee issue.

    Know people were discussing this player a few weeks ago: David Turnbull's move to Celtic is off. Early (unconfirmed as far as I can tell) reports appear is he didn't pass their medical check. It was thought he was going to Norwich before Celtic appeared on the scene,

    The Croatian Press article (from tportal) regarding Kalinic is from 6 days ago, I don't think there's anything fresh here that underagaslitlamp are following up on - but I would like it to be true all the same.

    Kristof Terreur (Belgian journalist) says Brighton agreed a fee with the club, but the players agent flew back from Brighton without a personal agreement with the player being made yet. The Agent and Brighton hope to resolve in the coming days. Genk said another unnamed Premier League club were interested in the player. That team is supposedly Villa. But we have not made an offer. Doesn't sound like anything concrete to me, except we are looking for another winger/wide forward - which we all knew was the case anyway.

    Man City are activating their buy-back clause in Angelino's contract at PSV for 12m Euros. They will sell him on for probably double that making a quick profit. Talented Left-sided defender. Wonder where he goes.
  9. Wes
    My mistake - thank you for point that out

    Let's look at Suso/Purslow/Smith's permanent signings thus far if we include this latest news: Kalinic - 29yo - £6m Guilbert - 24yo - £5m Jota - 29yo - £2m + player El Ghazi - 24yo - £4m ~ £8m (conflicting reports) Wesley - 22yo - £22m Not much to go on but some general trends that are more plausible than others: More players have come from abroad than domestic leagues (thusfar at least) General focus is on younger players, coming in to their prime, who should only increase in value. This is not the case for the Goalkeeper. If we are looking for a new keeper, experience and ability is more valued than their potential future sell on fee. Prior experience of Smith's system a bonus (Jota and, arguably, El Ghazi too). Excited to see what else is to come!

    Thanks.

    He has a great name.

    Wes replied to Tomaszk's topic in Other Football

    I love this for obvious reasons.
  14. Wes
    Maybe... for 1000 Guineas each.
  15. Wes
    Expected to see engaging discussion about potential new signings but instead there's nothing but puns to Peruse.
  16. Wes
    Marca reporting Fornals set to join West Ham for 27m Euros. As mentioned by others previously, I think the tenuous link to us that appeared yesterday was a shirt-colour/lost-in-translation moment by someone.
  17. Wes
    Which, in my following sentences which you have not quoted, I was agreeing with.
  18. Wes
    The average net spend of Premier League teams last summer transfer window was around ~£36m. Just to stand still (by signing Hause, Mings and El Ghazi) we will like be spending around £25m. Safe to say we will be going above last year's average figure. How much we go above that is another matter and depends entirely on how well we have scouted in my opinion.
  19. Wes
    I would say that the real test will be to see if a media outlet (specifically a Spanish based one) reports a bid has been made at all, rather than believe the twitter account themselves as to what has occurred.
  20. Wes
    Well they've pinned themselves to a name which we have not been associated with now so it will easier to track their claims going forward.
  21. Wes
    Interesting if true. Wonder, if we did, who would intrigue them. Maybe Bounou from Girona has a relegation release clause? Allain (Dijon) was reported to have interest from English clubs a few months ago...

    It's TripAdvisor feedback on beachfront property in Uruguay.

    Copa America starts next week, and all the players are training with their national teams already, so medicals/transfers are unlikely to take place for South American players (or those of the guest countries Japan and Qatar) until a couple of weeks after their country exits the competition. In Gomez's case, Uruguay are third favourites so no matter where he moves, it's unlikely that happens until after the 7th of July (when the Final is scheduled and he'll probably have a holiday too no doubt!). Our Pre-Season game in the States is on the 17th of July. Be interesting to see if we start pre-season with Kodjia, Davis and Hepburn-Murphy as our strikers (I'm assuming Hogan wont be on pre-season with us as he is likely to be sold).
  24. Wes
    I think whilst he has the versatility to play at Left Back, which is undoubtedly valuable, I think he is being brought in with the primary intention, initially, to be Mings' understudy to the Left-sided Centre Back role. I believe we are still definitely in the market for an out and out Left Back to be our starting Left Back, with Hause and Taylor duelling it out for the understudy role, rotating in depending on the match in question.

    It would appear, according to this Marca interview with Juanfran, that he has been scouting Iberia for Aston Villa for the past 6 months (which would align roughly with when Suso recruited Monterrubio too). The article is mostly about his views on the Celta Vigo player Maxi Gomez (not regarding a link to us). However this is a Google Translated snippet discussing Aston Villa:
