Tonev is wanted by London Welsh as they are looking for a penalty kicker

Please someone take Tonev of us!!!!!!

Looks like Andros Townsend is back in play http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-transfers-tottenhams-andros-6235624?

Yep just when I thought that was all our business done the quality of the target go up a notch!! could we be seeing the class of 2015/2016 keep this group together for a couple of seasons!

Wow I have suddenly found the excitement of being a villa fan again this has been the best thing that has happened at villa for years. I think once Tim & Ray get them to click we could look forward to some exciting matches. What a way to blow away the Lambert years!

Sad to hear that his injury problems show no sign of resolving. I do feel for the man but it was somewhat disappointing that he made comments about a club that has supported him through his many injuries, he managed just 79 games in 3 years. His wish to play at a higher level may well happen but he would be lucky to find a club more understanding than villa have been even offering him another contract Knowing that further surgery was required. Good Luck Ron

I just want to get this of my chest Delph should just stick to playing football and not talking to the press as every time he opens his mouth he ends up putting his foot in it. Though I accept that he was noble in signing a contract he didn't need to but in all honesty it was the least he could do for a club that stood by him through a never ending list of false starts due to injury. We at least deserved some form of restitution for the seasons lost to injury. So when he did finally get a run of games then we in the end saw the guy we paid £6 million for back in 2009 yep six years ago and he managed just three season of football in that time and was well paid for being injured. 2009-2010 played 9 games 2010-2011 played 0 games 2011-2012 played 11 games 2012-2013 played 24 games (signed new contract i think) 2013-2014 played 34 games 2014-2015 played 28 games so looking at this you can see why anything but signing a new contract would have been downright criminal

Be warned you'll not win anything with kids

0:08 / 7:58 SERGI DARDER ● Goals & Skills ● Malaga 2014/2015

No experience, No Fear, No Baggage and point to prove thats got to be an improvement on the last few season trying to win will be better to watch than trying not to lose!

don't think they get anything as we have made no money on what we paid for him. I maybe wrong but I have seen nothing stating they are getting anything !

brilliant lmfao

The only thing that make me laugh is that he says: "I initially turned down the opportunity to join Manchester City. That decision was purely down to the love I have for Aston Villa and their great supporters... so basically he loves us so much that he put a £8 million clause in his contract meaning that we made a net loss on him with love like that who needs enemies. Anyway Man City still need a couple more english players for their bench

Oh Yeah bring it on!!!! I for on cant wait for the new signings I sure that Tim had anticipated these events. We could all see how shocked the club was when Delph didn't leave last week. I think at that point Tim already was planning for life without him and without doubt he will have planed for if someone put up the funds for Benteke we all hoped he would stay but reality is he really wanted out and to be fair what can we expect with the terrible last three seasons our club has been through. So now "we go again"lol I know it's hard for some people to get their head around but it is possible to put a team together with 40 - 50 million and the reality is we have a opportunity to change everything and I have confidence that Tim has an eye for quality players.

Yep I agree funny how he had no offer at a "higher level" in premier league so now ends up in Italy we will see how the delph benteke plays out but we have been crap for to long and they where just the best of a totally average group of players lets get some more quality in and off load all the freeloaders

Calm down! I like how Tim is making his squad it needed a complete overhaul and thats what we are getting and it's about time! if we lose Delph, Benteke, not ideal but it's the way the premier league is. I would be more than happy to see a few more go but this is an exciting time to be a villa fan villa will go on. if we still keep buying quality then I think some good things will happen this season and I'm sure that we are working on some targets that may not have even been mentioned yet! This is not a time to panic I for one can't wait to see what happens next at least we are seeing some changes and after the last 4 seasons of dreadful football maybe this is exactly what we need. I see a young hungry side being put together with real quality. out with the old in with the new up the Villa! You are certainly living up to your signature!!

I would be upset if he is going but to be honest if he goes I have confidence in Tim getting a good quality replacement. It would be a strange turn of events if he does go after everything. Maybe they have given him assurance that he will have enough game time. I just hope he won't end up on the bench for the whole season.

With one year on his contract at a relegated team. exactly I think we could buy a fit player without the risk or the mad cost.

I keep seeing about the fact we should go for Charlie Austin but when he failed the medical to move from Burnley to Hull Steve Bruce said: "Well first and foremost it is totally disappointing for him in particular," Bruce told Sky Sports News. "We have been working on it for the last three or four weeks behind the scenes but unfortunately he has a bit of a knee problem and with the amount of money at stake in the transfer fee the problem has shown up pretty visibly with the scan and unfortunately that has put a stop to the deal. so it would be an unwise man to spend 12 - 18 Million o a player that Hull refused to pay £4.5 Million for!!!!

wow this news feels like a new signing Carles Gil is going nowhere which is the news we all wanted to hear http://www.birmingha...carles-9668884?

Maybe take a look over at the Carles Gil thread.... sorry wrong thread but I was just to happy

I think that statement was more about reminding the fringe players that they need to get out and find new clubs. I can understand that some of these players have good contracts but would they really like to just sit back and take the money! what message are they sending out to other potential clubs looking to buy!! no ambition, no pride so therefore no good!! A footballers life in the top level is not very long in general and to waste two or three years at a club that will not play you and has told you to find a new role is bizzare! It's a very sad indictment of how football players are now, what has happened to the passion that they had when they stated their journey.

Yeah I thought he was fine too. Good in defence at least okay in attack. But if we can get Amavi in it's probably an improvement, so what the hell. Strange really I didn't think he did much wrong but it could be a case of attitude "Losing mentality"
