34 isn't that old and his game was never about pace. I doubt Berbatov and Adebayor would start together but imagine taking Ade off around 70 mins and then having someone with the technical and football brain ability of Berbatov to unlock tired defences. As long as he wasn't on stupid wages I'd be happy to have him in the ranks. He's a bloody good player!

He looks like fessel from the film four lions Hopefully he can have as big of an explosive impact for us. P.S. If you're in work, don't google search the word fessel by itself... Especially if you've already got wood over the Veretout speculation.

Welcome beard of truth.

I know his head's not all there but his scoring record is is still pretty good goals to games wise, even after the shooting and his family treating him like absolute shite. Let's make him feel loved and wanted here and we could see actual benefit from him.

So, Anthony Jordan Martial or Karim Mustafa Jordan Benzema to come in and play up-front. In all seriousness, if we do pull off Veretout (oo-er) maybe that would give us a slight chance of Martial (assuming we have any interest). Or we can get Giroud when Benzema signs for Arsenal. It's all coming together. Roger Boli is on stand-by if we can't complete any of those deals.

You could at least take him out on a date first.

We're signing him 15 years too late if you ask me.

Igunana go out on a limb here and say Richard doesn't know anything. I read last summer him saying how huge things were happening and he was very positive and it was just the same old crap.

Villa are a decent size club but what exactly does that mean? Villa's last 4 league finishes have been 16th, 15th, 15th and most recently, 17th. If we were finishing 6th, 5th, 5th and 8th and he was coming out with the aiming to move onto somewhere bigger in the future I could understand why it'd grate but I think fans need to face up to what Villa are at present and not what we have/could be. The likes of Stoke, Swansea and Southampton are just as much of a draw since they can pay the same sort of money, if not better and have been out-performing us in the league. Winning the European Cup in '82 doesn't affect the now very much.

Not the greatest but better than nothing!

Just a wish unfortunately.

With the pound the strongest it's ever been against the Euro, now is the perfect time to be going on a shopping spree in Europe! Strike whilst the quid is hot as they say/have never once said. Remy and Martial to continue the French revolution, just hopefully far better than Newcastle's go at it. May as well go for Yohanne Gourcuff whilst we're at it, should be enough to convince Lloris to come too then. I really like Austin but with 1 year left on his deal with a little concern over his knee, and with them stuck in the Championship, anything over £12m would be seem quite expensive. Remy's goal to games ratio in the Premiership is quality and would be far more worthwhile spending that little bit extra on the fee/wages total compared to Adebayor who's the wrong side of 30, generally lazy apart from little bursts here and there and mentally not in the best of places now. So yes, Remy, Remy Remy!

Because he encouraged the Captain of Villa to leave? If you can't see what's wrong with that then you're mad mate. Yes he didn't force him, but it still falls under "unprofessional" for my money. I wouldn't be pleased if it happened anyway. Hopefully it's something of nothing and his performances will win the fans round because he really is a good player He was asked his opinion of the club and Richards gave an honest answer, the guy loves City, he's hardly going to slag it off and did he not suggest that Delph should only really think about leaving if he was going to be getting plenty of games, which given the tone of the article I read, suggested that he was doubting how much game time he'd get at City. I highly doubt what Richards said was a deciding factor on Delph leaving. Richards is City through and through, he's only going to say good things about the club, he also hinted that it wouldn't be wise to leave if he's going to be on the bench. I can understand why people are really angry today but to start diverting it towards MR isn't going to do anyone any good and I stand by my view that realistically, Richards had little bearing on Delph leaving. It's just the usual spiel they toss out the the media.

What exactly is wrong in what Richards has said? He loves City and had an awesome time there. Deal with it.

302/390

He's only been linked with a move back to Spain at present. I'd love him at Villa and wouldn't cost a bomb either. Not quite sure what the hell happened with him at Swansea!?

We could always sign him for £20m and insert a clause in his contract where he can go to another team if they're willing to pay us a £10m buyout...

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. I play for Tesco, tell him I said thanks.

Cameron Jerome.

We should only sign him if he agrees to grow his viking beard out. We've waited long enough for the new Mellberg.

That Chery looks ace from youtube. Sold.

Can't Villa Talk go head to head with this bid? We don't have enough to buy the club, neither do they, we've got a chance here guys. In all seriousness, if they need to lend money to actually purchase the club, how are they planning to fund transfers? Any deal that puts the club in debt just in order to be purchased is bat shit crazy. Lerner wouldn't go for that, even if he does want out. He's spent so long sorting out the finances, chucking the club back into the red for no good reason would be madness. If they have raised £75 million why don't they take-over a club where they could buy them for say £25 million and then build them up. None of it makes any sense, they would have to chuck £75 million of debt on to Villa to fund it and also want to get involved with Inter Milan, Sporting Lisbon and a few other clubs at the same time? Nothing adds up at all.

That turn for the last goal was immense, not even mentioning the strike. The next Tim Cahill in the making. Let's sign him. Youtube always seals the deal for me.

Obligatory youtube video of Luongo...

It was embarressing today, I could put in better corners and I haven't played football for about 10 years! When these players are 'earning' tens of thousands of pounds a week, the very least you should expect is to get a cross over head height. Sometimes a low drilled one can work but they were weak scuffs. It's a disgrace to be honest, it's becoming a bit of a trend at a lot of teams these days, not just Villa. Really strange, not to mention annoying.
