Shucks. Wolff Eikrem signed for Heerenveen. One of a handful I would've liked here.
-
Ah, my mistake!
-
Edit: Wrong information.
-
I consider this incredibly unlikely. There'll be a team in Europe who can entice him aboard (eg. AC Milan). That said... - His skill level is superior to anyone else in our squad, besides perhaps Benteke in his pomp. - He fills a position of need. - He's on a free. - He would likely command the highest wage on our squad, but it wouldn't have to completely blow our wage structure. If Given, Bent, Ireland were all to leave, one of their £50k-£60k wages could be offered to Honda. So I can see why it's easy journalist fodder to say we're "interested".
-
I voted yes but I wouldn't be desperate about it. If it was a low fee, a modest wage (supplemented by City for this final year of his contract with them), and perhaps a two year contract with a look to adding him to the coaching staff afterwards then I'd like it.

French site Mercato365.com say that Belhanda may be moving closer to a move to Aston Villa. They've come to unerstand that Belhanda's people are still in contact with Aston Villa, with discussions focusing on the contract for the player as a potential fee has already been agreed with Montpellier. No quotes though. Just a "we understand from our sources." In fact I don't think this means he's any closer to moving to us, but it perhaps is news that we appear to still be in contact with his agent. Edit: Looks like I was beaten to the punch by tomaspg

Best of luck to you Brett.

Welcome Nicklas! I think this is another cracking signing.

Premier League Fixtures 2013/14:Who will lambos lions get 1st game?
Wes replied to Demitri_C's topic in Villa Talk
Away to Everton. -
The Murphy possibly moving on in August has been the story out of Crewe since April. Not sure why this is but if he is moving we can forget about it until then.
-
Hah that's brilliant. I hope we incorporate it for match days. I can see the future now.... a Tonev assist for a Helenius goal. Villa fans end up doing the Poznan whilst singing this.
-
Now Praet? Are these guys on twitter just going through my old posts?
-
Competition for Bennett. Not a clear replacement. I imagine they'll let them fight it out in pre-season for the starting role in the hope that competing agaisnt one another increases both of their abilitiy in the long term.
-
The source of that particular story is a wind up merchant on twitter. Don't give him the time of day.
-
Helenius at the weekend/next week hopefully. After that? If rumours are to be believed Jed Steer, a Norwich youth keeper, to provide competition for Siegrest for that backup role.
-
It's because he is so versatile that I simply decided to put him in the squad buffer for now but you could well be right.
-
How I view the squad currently assuming Helenius' move does work out: Guzan/Siegreist Lowton/?????? ----- Vlaar/Clark ------- Okore/Baker ----- ??????/Bennett Westwood/El Ahmadi --- Delph/Sylla ----------- Weimann/Albrighton ----------- ??????/Gardner ------------ Agbonlahor/Tonev Benteke/Helenius Squad: Steer, Herd, Bacuna In: Bacuna £unknown Helenius £unknown Tonev £2.5m Okore £4m Steer - linked Out: Lichaj: Free Makoun £2.5m Overall £4m+ out thus far
-
Anyone seen a reported fee?
-
That additional keeper will be Jed Steer from Norwich should the twitter ramblings be believed. I agree though, there'll be a left back brought in to provide competition and, depending upon outgoings, a forward thinking central midfielder.
-
Fantastic! Welcome Jores!
-
Welcome Leandro!
-
Seems there'll be a friendly match between us and FC Groningen as part of the deal. May be next year though.
-
Yep. He has since, wisely, deleted his tweet as he would've likely got his mate in a lot of trouble.
-
Dutch reports say it's done. Waiting for additional info. Seems a deal was in place last Saturday.
