What would you say the chances of this happening are Stevo? 49/51 Not 50/50?

Ive watched Westwood since he was about 13, my cousin played with him at Crewe for a few years before he threw it all away the prat. We still see him now and again. For me i think people dont rate Westwood because he plays the game in the simple form just like Gareth Barry did, the difference being he is not as active as Barry was in his prime. I think he is a good player and i hope he progresses from now as he could be a great player for us, pleased Tim has signed him up for another 5 years.

Havent seen a lot of him personally but my missus family are southampton ST holders, and they say he is a very reliable solid defender. if this is the case were signing him well i would be happy with it. Experience in the back 4 is what we need right now. If this comes off i think as a squad we are good to go now ! Obviously i would be happy if we made more signings though.... cus im a greedy b*****d like that !

So he told you exactly what he told you the first time. Will remember to reign in my excitement next time I see "Last reply: leighavfc" no not really, A he didnt say it was at 6am first and B what else do you expect Adama to tell him really? SORRY for not typing the convo word for word.... i must remember to write up the exact notes of the phone call next time just for you my friend...

Just spoke to me mate again... Medical at hospital was done at 6 am this morning, he also said that Adama seemed very happy to be given a chance to play over here. Literally cannot wait for this to be confirmed

I really hope this one goes through without liver dole or anyone else coming in last minute. Looks a very exciting player if he carries on progressing. I'm very excited about this one! Never thought we would ever sign a player from FCB!

nope, richards had his medical at the hospital in question. adebayor was booked in twice for medicals the other week and didnt turn up to either. Only time will tell, but i assure you everytime he tells me about the medicals the players sign within days.

Hope so but how many times has your mate told you about medicals prior to this one? Albion fan on a wind up? Good news if true though. nah mate, hes a good lad tbh Hes little brother is villa aswell ! Same guy who told you Benteke and Delph were staying having bought apartments in Aston! Nah complete different person, the person who told me about benteke is one of the players father in law and the other came from a footballer who was actually selling his apartment to delph until he did his infamous U turn... i didint say in aston either.... who would believe that lol

time for the man at computer covered in spunk GIF anyone ?? Hope so but how many times has your mate told you about medicals prior to this one? Albion fan on a wind up? Good news if true though. nah mate, hes a good lad tbh Hes little brother is villa aswell !

Great news Leigh! Which hospital? Could be useful for future reference! The private hospital in little aston my friend

Time to get excited guys... Just had it confirmed by my mate who works at the hospital where they do medicals.... And Traore has passed his medical this morning!! Really pleased with this signing ! EDIT: Just told me he spoke to him aswell, all good news ! The lad is an albion fan but tells me anytime villa are suposedly signing someone wheather they are booked in for medical or he has saw them there.

Ciaran is definetly not leaving villa... Would never move to the boggies either so ignore that attention seeking idiot murphy. I am actually itk on this one... Do I get a special badge or anything?

totally agree mate will deffo be more police and stewards at the VP game if hes there at all, probably get injured before then! he has deeply offended and hurt many people. Will only take one of the thousands of people offended to do something for the torchpaper to be lit.

Me too the bloke deserves every last booooooo and whistle he gets. Like someone said earlier i think that game will be the closest to the nasty atmosphere of 03/03/03 i dont think i could wish injury on someone but i really do hope he fails at Citeh big time

Not sure we will spend anywhere 70m myself but i would bloody love it if we did lol I have faith in the new setup to get it right this time though, and not just a bungling paul faulkner running around spouting nonsense like a headless chicken !!

Finally some good news think this could be a shrewd signing by Tim.

I really do hope that Randy actually does the right thing this time and gives Sherwood at LEAST the Delph and Benteke money to spend, i know a lot of us have said this for the past few years but this is definetly the season we have to get it right. Probably biggest ever season in Villa's history due to Tv money etc. For me if we sign Amavi @ LB, CB, 2 x Strikers and Praet to replace Delph i believe we will be in a much better position than we are now. Delph is imo quite easily replaced as there are many players out there that can do his job, Benteke is the one we must replace with immediate quality though as we will struggle big time, 12 goals from the whole squad minus Benteke last season... that is truly awful. i also believe we should buy two different types of strikers: We already have a target man in Kozak, Gabby can be brought on when teams are tiring or have slow defences, Robinson i dont think is ready yet so maybe another year out on loan for him. Martial would be a masterstroke in my opinion, Quick, skillfull and still only very young so potential profit if he does well although we will have to pay a lot of money to get him. Would anyone take a punt on Loic Remy? i think he could be just what we need. Austin i like but do not think he is worth 15 mil. Destro would be a good signing, real poacher.

Well i can honsetly say i feel like someone has kicked me in the bollocks big time the way all this has happened. If he had left last week or even on a free i would have said you know what fair play he could probably do better than us and i wish him well... I followed this kid from his early Leeds days hoping one day we would sign him.. i was over the moon when we did. Now i have no interest in the lad whatsoever anymore, what he has done is a disgrace in my book. Im all for people trying to better themselves but their is a way of doing it, this divvy has royally shit on us big time. Not once but twice, in the last 6 months alone he has told us how much he wants to stay and blah blah f****n blah. Yet 6 days after he signs for Citeh AFTER rejecting them and feeding us his sob story... He has upset a lot of people with his actions and i cant really remember seeing anything like it in recent football years. Im literally stunned at whats happened as i suspect the rest of the footballing world are. Here we all were last weekend praising him for doing what he did (at the time), everybody that spoke on radio, in papers or anywhere had nothing but good things to say about it.... How wrong were we all? I wonder what Tim has to say about all this? he cant be happy after that interview he did in the week about Delph. Its not the moving to Citeh that has pissed me off its the manor of it that has done it for me. I havent felt like this since Yorke left (my whole world caved in when he went, i was only 9 at the time) I always said i wouldnt get that attached to players anymore but with Delph i did as i thought he was different... Good ridance Fibian.

Hope Tim gives us his exact thoughts on this if it happens....

What an absolute word removed Delph is if this goes through... how can you say one minute your staying then a few days later **** off again... IF this does go through then i will lose all respect i ever had for him (which was a lot btw) Great times being a Villa fan at the min LOL

Well this is depressing.... i knew it was coming this summer but im still gutted about it. I wish him all the best as for me he is the BEST player i have witnessed play for Villa in the 27 years i have been supporting the club. But also as a huge football fan in general i am pleased that one of the soon to be best strikers in the world has graced our cathedral for a few seasons! I am pissed that he has gone to the kopshites though, he could have done much better but i guess they were the only ones in for him. On the plus side we have got a very big transfer fee for him and hopefully this parting gift will enable us to buy the players we need to move onto the next level. He is not a hero or probaly even a legend at Villa but his talent alone is why i feel so bad about this one seeing as he was often the shining light in the dark tunnel at Villa. His antics a few seasons ago made me feel a little less fond of him but cant really blame him this time round. We have been nothing short of dogshite since hes been here. THAT goal against Tesco will be my fondest memory of him, but also goals against Norwich (overhead kick) and definetly the goals against Liverdole wil lstay with me for a long time as i witnessed each one live in front of my eyes. My lad is going to be absolutely gutted when i tell him later.... he idolises him !! i know he aint gone yet but its pretty much there aint it !, cant really see him doing a Delph tbh. Heres hoping he has a shit time a Lolerpool and actually moves to a proper team in the future! We go again as the berk used to say.....

Yeah my mate who is a Tesco fan said exactly the same, he even brought him a drink after the semi final in a rather a shady snooker club round my way lol he said a lot of them were sound and quite talkative tbf.

Jordan SIGN DA F*****G TIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

This 100% well overhyped player.... I thought the Wilshere love in was bad.... Sterlings love in is on a complete different level and only really started when he moved to Liverdole, the team all the papers have an absolute wankfest about all of the time. For me he will probably get a bit better than he is now, but that will still be nowhere near the "World Class" title a lot of people seem to give him, i think he is just a speed merchant, his touch is ok, shooting is dire, crossing is average. Maybe i am completely missing something but no matter how hard i look i jus dont see the hype.

I would go for Austin and Embolo for definite. We would have at least 2 good strikers to replace Benteke, plus we have Kozak and gabby to back them up. I would be very happy with that. All we would need is a couple of defenders and without getting ahead of ourselves i think we have a top ten side right there!! I dont think there is a better like for like replacement than Embolo out there for Benteke
