Maybe we sent Keane and Sanchez down there to intimidate Levy? Sanchez could get his thighs out and make Levy shit his pants.

I actually 'suggested' (threw his name in the mix) him in the last summer speculation thread before spuds bought him. Seen him play a couple of times but only seen his stats to be honest. Played well at FC Twente apparently - 18 goals in 38 appearances in total in his season before Spurs. Scored a few in the champions league (free kick against spurs included) as well.

Tottenham are willing to listen to offers for Lewis Holtby, who they signed from Schalke for £1.5m in January 2013, as QPR and Crystal Palace line up moves for the 23-year-old midfielder. (Daily Mail)

Powell is quality. Used to watch him at Crewe all the time he really has something special. Would be a shame to see him go to waste at united. Was decent at Wigan too. Not sure he'd be a regular starter in the Prem though but certainly a cheap loan signing. A good one at that.

Whaaaaat? Hernandez is good but nothing special imo. Vlaar would probably be about 10x more important to us than trying to carry Hernandez. We should bring in an attacking midfielder that can play the wings as well and play Weimann upfront til we get either of Libor or Benteke back. YEP!

That's why we bought Joe Cole and Kieran Richardson? You dont think there's any chance Joe Cole might get injured or need rotating? Proper CAM would be good preferably younger than Joe Cole. And Gabby/Weimann on the wing? Another 1st team winger would also be decent.

Ki scored a beauty - just seen on match of the day

I reckon we'll sell someone and i think we should invest all that money into a winger

Agreed. Gabby doesn't deserve to just inherit a place. He hasn't earn it and he doesn't have any competition. We need a good winger now and Weimann isn't a natural winger either i dont think.

Having options doesn't mean our midfield is good haha! It's better definitely though. Winger now please i think. Gabby shouldn't automatically be first team and Weimann isn't a natural winger. Need a better option there and maybe Gabby will earn a pale instead of inheriting one.

Trent says its happening he thought it would be done today but he thinks it'll happen its almost done It's been "going to be done today" for the past four days now. Maybe, just maybe there is a problem... Anyway, I know I probably can't say this, but who the **** is he and how come everyone suddenly thinks he's so good? Why dont you go and see for yourself if its bothering you so much? People think he's good because he made the first team in a strong Columbian squad and played well at the world cup (didn't do anything incredible but solid performance nonetheless). Im not sure about much else because i dont watch Spanish football. He's currently at Elche.

LOL why is this even a thread?

What a load of tosh. Get a grip. Incase you haven't put 1+1 together - It's very possible Sanchez wasn't on a plane when it was reported he was. He also could have stayed in a hotel. Contracts take time especially ones involving third party ownership. And last but probably most important. Who **** cares as long as we get it done and we see him in a Villa shirt on the club's official website.

You'll have to to convince us pessimists. How do you know though out of interest? My mate works at Malmaison so i have asked him and says no one from Villa has checked in.. So you're wrong there fella No one from Villa…..

Can you smmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelll??!?!

Ben Arfa - quality player but incredibly lazy and thinks the sun shines out of his arse.

Damn. Is that even a thing? It's been so long...

I dont know if you're more excited at having this guy play well at our club or the possibility of snapping a few shots of his thighs for your 'alone time' haha

That's not a bad squad at all. Not so sure about Hernandez though - weren't we 'linked' with him last year alongside a handful of others?

Yeah thats true i guess. When you part it like this: Liverpool spent 6 million on him (something like that) and he played 15 times for a team that came 2nd. It looks pretty good. But literally everyone who's heard the news who i know can't stop laughing! I live in Manchester - thats probably why. But as always as a villa fan we've gotta look at the bright side of things. If he comes, good luck and prove everyone wrong ill fully support him regardless.

The only reason I'd be happy with this is because he supposedly played well at Lyon and Valencia before having a nightmare at Liverpool and also we'd still have money in our already extremely limited bank.

You don't get anyway. In a market where Borini is worth £14m and Rodwell is going for £10m, nobody is going to be giving players away for **** all. Lallana and Toni Kroos are apparently the same value…...

Ki is not really a DM though, is he? No reason why he couldn't be but it could potentially be a waste of some of his other abilities. He clearly likes to carry the ball forward from midfield and use his range of passing. And although he's a big lad who can throw his weight around he's not a traditional defensive midfielder and i definitely think we need one. Would still like Ki here though. But if he does arrive here then i doubt another centre midfielder would arrive, and as you said he's not really a DM….

definitely if he's coming here.
