Zatman Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 So porto want 6 mill for him even though they originally paid 5 mill and he's not even playing first team football on a regular basis? Right... I guess your price goes up when you sit on the bench maybe its VT syndrome when players get better when they dont play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villastine Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Can we lock this thread or move it?? Direct quotss from Lamberts press conference in the Mail http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-am-fit-ready-6429182 Paul Lambert has dismissed talk of a swoop for Steven Defour and has ruled out rekindling Aston Villa’s tentative summer interest in Hiroshi Kiyotake as well. Lambert does still want to boost the claret and blues’ options in the centre of the park and is remaining coy about the club’s pursuit of Norwich playmaker Wes Hoolahan. Defour has been repeatedly linked with Villa by his agent this month, but Lambert insists he will not be making a move for Porto’s Belgian international midfielder. “No, there’s nothing in that. I’ve not seen that one,” said Lambert. It is a similar state of play with Kiyotake, who Villa enquired about last summer before deciding against pursuing the Japanese international. “Who? At Nuremberg?” said Lambert. “It was a lad I tried to get in the summer, but things have moved on from that. Nuremberg are fighting to stay in the Bundesliga. Good player.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 When will we learn all player agents are liars. Any link that comes from an agent should be completely scorned as a gambit to get cash from ANYBODY. That's all they ever are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJVilla Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It's the draw of London, isn't it? If he is considering a move to Fulham, he'll probably be thinking if he does well there for the rest of the season, has a decent World Cup, then maybe he'll get a big money move to another London club next season (probably QPR who will pay him silly money).

coda Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'd imagine Fulham will offer much higher wages than we currently would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Seriously, what makes people think he's any good?? Porto and their fans don't rate him at all, his agents is working his bollocks off trying to get him a Premier League move but all he has seemed to manage is a potential switch to Fulham. This guy doesn't seem to be all that. At all. I can't base that on having watched him play, more on the palpable lack of interest from the PL and the absolute desperation of his agent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Not overly bothered by this. The fact that Fulham are going for him as opposed to anyone in the top half of the table speaks volumes. There's a fair chance he'd have just been another Makoun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Richard's optimism equates to us signing a more high profile player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
