http://tiny.cc/7e2hhw Does this mean it would be a free?

Seems that way... would be epic if true!! I'm sure we can't be the only ones after him on a free!?

Do you think if he signs PL will introduce him like this...

That new commanding centre back you all wanted... voilà! *The glitter curtain then parts*

Come on then FM experts, who's this ?

Vlaar. Google if you have to..

Looks very much like Ron Vlaar to me...

That looks like James Milner in the hoody

Please... Don't. My heart can't take it.

The guy in the hoody could be ramis with his agent and an interpreter. I know ramis is a major target. Why would lambert spend a sunday showing some jabronis around villa park? Hopefully kendrick will clear this up for us.

Anyone asked him on twitter?

PL seems to be playing the tour guide for them in that photo, but I don't think its a player, could be agents or just very wealthy people interested in corporate events/investment. If it is then RL is pulling out the stops to get them on board, but then it makes you think why PF ain't doing it. Strange...

Cant understand how he was granted a work permit and now needs further clearance, obviously to do with the fact he went to Greece but surely his initial permit would have covered the length of his contract?

Does it have something to do with the fact he hasnt played many games?

Possibly, but I think it is more to do with the US immigration laws. Maybe his visa doesn't cover it and he needs to apply for a new one? That or he has a secret criminal background smuggling woolly jumpers on the black-market to unsuspecting fashion wannabes (like me)

Dave Whelan in Mallorca for face to face talks with Ramis

Probably negotiating a contract for him to join us. He does love to stick his nose into every other clubs business.

LOL.

If he signs for Wigan then we could presume that we was never in for him, picking Wigan over us would just be silly.

I actually bought last seasons DVD review when I last went

Only £10

Will you be using it as a form of punishment to unruly children in an attempt to keep them in check? Really couldn't see anyone buying to provide any sense of enjoyment.

Has the wolves friendly on 11 aug been cancelled?

Seems that way mate.

I really doubt he wrote that himself. I might be cynical, but we have people for that and he does not have the time. As long as he puts his name on the bottom it will be a letter from him, as he agreed with what was written, but in no way did he sit down and type that himself.

I don't think anyone is saying he did write it, we all know we have a PR team for this kind of thing. Says all the right things, but every letter/email to the fans does.

Optamistic for the comming season and really looking forward to seeing where we are in a few years, but no more so after reading the email.

TFS Aston Villa ‏@TFS_AstonVilla

Yacine Brahimi has completed his move to Aston Villa. Announcement very soon. ‪#avfc‬ ‪#fkia‬” ‪#ITK_Watch‬ you're welcome

Some spaz on twitter probs bullshitting.

(no offence if its anyone on VT)

LOL, this guy is in a hotel with Defoe and Miguel as we speak.

Won't beleive it until it's on the OS as people on Twitter have been saying it's a done deal for the last week and a half.

@VillaITK has spoken...

"So, being told that Lambert would ideally like to bring in 4-5 new players. A LB, CB, MF, LW, ST. #AVFC"

Isn't this pretty much what was discussed on here yesterday as to who we'd like us to sign. I wonder if @VillaITK is someone from VT?

I think most people can agree that they are the positions that need more depth/quality. So this @VillaITK is hedging his bets if i'm honnest.

Thanks for that packoman, I was at work and couldn't log into my photobucket to tag an image. Also proved I wasen't going totally crazy!!

Nothing on Rennes site, plus it's actually from L'Equipe however it has been denied by Chris Leprowski (Birmingham Mail) think it's similar to Brahimi, agents etc.

It is on Rennes Site...

Absent de l’entraînement ce mercredi matin, Tongo Doumbia doit se rendre en Angleterre. Le milieu de terrain rennais de 22 ans doit passer une visite médicale pour s’engager avec le club de West Bromwich Albion, 10e du dernier championnat anglais.

Absent from training on Wednesday morning, Tongo Doumbia must go to England. Rennes midfielder of 22 years must undergo a medical examination to engage with the club West Bromwich Albion, 10th in the last English league.

That's not the official site.

Really? Then it seems they don't have one... Even the Ligue1 site links to it.

Transfer rumours ‏@Transfer_prem

According to the Rennes official website Tonga Doumbia is having a medical at West Brom #wba #avfc #afc

Hope that's not true...looked like a good player for about 2.5m

Was looking for the speculation thread but only found this…the slag off each other point scoring own player bashing thread.

Pile of shite. Give it a rest for **** sake get back on topic or move threads

Becoming toxic in here.

Well FYI, this all started with the SPECULATION that Sunderland are interested in Gabby and Collins for 10 million etc. :? . We are entitled to debate the topic just as we would with any other player, rumoured or current.

yes, but your not debating whether he is going to get transfered. its a debate about his skill, which belongs in his own thread, not the transfer thread.

People can get annoyed when they want to see transfer news/speculation and are met with "gabby cant hit a ball for shit!"

anyways, what happened to the snoddgrass talks, anything coming of it?

Not about a specific player, but its a good source for Villa news.. It basically brings together all of the news story around the internet... quite good for Transfer speculation..

I hear that fella down at Stoke has a decent throw on him....

Cov's badge is pretty fierce. They have an Eagle, a Phoenix, and an Elephant with a Castle on its back.

The cannon would take out the Eagle... The Phoenix would just sit there and burst into flames (and I'm sure our Lion has a fire extinguisher somewhere for safety reasons)... and the Elephant wouldn't be able to move because of the big ass Castle on its back.

Plus you’re all forgetting our Lion also has a Kung Fu Throwing Star to use… WINNER!!!

Great-Grandad was a fan, Grandad was a ST holder, Dad was a ST holder and born & raised in Aston, then we have my older brothers & sisters all Villa fans... Finally me, the youngest. Simple decision really, but my dad did say to me when I was young and started going to games, that I didn't have to support Villa and that I could pick a different team as long as (he made this very clear) it wasen't SHA. Total no brainer, it's in my blood.

I like them both in the press shots, the away is better than I thought it would be. Will still need to see them/try them on to see what they look like in the flesh.

Are both home and away being shown at midnight?

And we **** started it too. Villa are boss.
