Dan Walker's just tweeted Dempsey is at Spurs training ground

Worryingly quiet on the Benteke deal. Wonder who the other option is if the Stephens deal doesn't happen?

Twitter has gone mental about this. Every tweet ive read has been laughter at us and him, 'big club?', blah blah blah. Hate this big club argument, these days it holds no stock. Football side of things yes it's a move down for him but we're not some small time club ffs, we're just having a dark period!

Anyway, i'd be shocked and delighted if this happened. Nice surprise for the day!

Still think we'll get an unexpected signing tomorrow

But why do you think this Richard? Not asking for any particulars, just wonder why you feel this?

Someone on twitter claiming to have seen Macheda going into a Birmingham hotel, due to sign for us on loan.

Now that's what i'm talking about! Not the prospect of him signing, the 'seen in a hotel' ITK has returned!

"@benjaminjukes: @Agent_ITK reckon Villa will bring in yossi benayoun on loan." ◄-- Currently talking to him. #Villa #AVFC

Usually reliable.

See Berbatov is having a medical at Fulham. Don't think he would of fit in here but would of been intrigued/excited if he came to us.

I've heard the Yoan Gouffran to #AVFC rumour is being lead by Mondial Sport Management, his UK agent. Nothing in it.

Following my Yoan Gouffran rumour tweet, it is also worth noting that Mondial Sport Management represent Gabby.... #AVFC

Where's this Spurs news come from?

But i'll stick with everyones favourite ITK for sure. Just retweeted the following, only passing it on cos i'm bored.

Transfer Rumours ‏@TransferNews_TR

Christian Benteke Looks like a done deal, rumours saying a deal around 5.5million, a contract believed to be up to 4 years. #AVFC

Robert Jones‏@JonesR19

Benteke and Bennett signing for Villa in the next 24 hours. 6 and 4 million fees. 4 and 3 year deals. @AVFCOfficial @Crippy4Villa #AVFC

I see people are still judging players before they've even signed for us. It seems like if you're from a lower league, abroad or don't cost much you must be shit...

Yep, people wanted players in, we are getting players in yet they still moan. You can't win.

Just came on to say the exact same thing, it's ridiculous. Not just on here but twitter too, that site is getting on my tits lately. May unfollow the majority and stick to proper accounts such as ilikegirlsdaily and nandos.

The end of the McGrath era, Yorke hurt and Taylor moving on too. Cup final losses and Milner.

But I was near certain we would go down under Houllier, then with McLeish I was absolutely convinced we were done for. That Bolton game is the lowest i've felt in a long time, was absolutely crushed that night and was preparing for Championship football.

Well now Makoun has officially moved for the season, maybe the 1 out 1 in reoccurs.

I've got to say, I'm much more interested in this season being about getting a new style of play ready and weeding out the players with shitty attitudes than having unrealistic illusions of us signing everyone we need immediately. These things take time.

Couldn't agree more.

Noticed @Astonvilla_Views tweeted last night saying they'd had 3 DM's off different people stating Carroll was a done. Most likely twitter guff, just hadn't seen this mentioned on here is all.

As you were, gentlemen.

Zzzz. Next.

Precisely Mazrim. The deals made so far have been fairly under the radar in terms of the majority getting wind of them. Just relax and wait. Build it and they will come

@davidhstafford @tp83avfc not aware #AVFC after a new wideman. Defenders & striker priority. Dunno who though yet sorry

Still not seen his goal, well both the goals, from Peterborough on tuesday. Anybody help with that?

I did think when we signed El Ahmadi that he'd go well with Herd in a 2, still think they would. But Bannan seems to be impressing at the moment so wouldn't be shocked to see KEA, Bannan and Ireland as the 3 in midfield. We've got options, plenty of them now too and that always helps.

Going to the Forest game on Saturday so get my first up close look at the bloke. Been impressed with the little highlights i've seen and so far he's the one player that is exciting me this summer..granted we haven't signed that many players lol. But yeah I'll be watching him closely, if playing, on Saturday.

Oh ok cheers anyway.

What's this Woodward and Big Ken are talking about on the Peterborough commentary about Jordan Rhodes?

Any updates on this?

James Nursey‏@JamesNursey

Got impression no big spending spree at #AVFC on cards but more shrewd slightly under-radar signings due when Huts, Collins & War prob go.

It's 'guff'. Just won the league, CL football again..he wouldn't want to even look at leaving right now.
