smetrov Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 EXCLUSIVE: Norwich set to reject Wes Hoolahan bid from Aston Villa NORWICH will reject a “derisory” offer from Aston Villa for Wes Hoolahan - and if the Republic of Ireland international makes a transfer request, it will be rejected. Villa manager Paul Lambert was Hoolahan's boss at Norwich and wants him again, but Villa offered only £750,000 in immediate cash for the 31-year-old playmaker or £1million in instalments. Norwich responded by telling Villa officials they won't even talk to them until after next week's transfer tribunal for another of their players who rejoined Lambert - reserve goalkeeper Jed Steer. Privately, Norwich insiders regard the Hoolahan bid as almost insulting and have no wish to do business with either Lambert or Villa because of bad blood over the way the Scot manager left them after lifting them 54 places in three seasons. Hoolahan would welcome the chance to join Villa, because they are offering a longer deal than his current Norwich contract, which has 18 months to run. But the Norfolk club are determined to keep him. He has made 11 appearances for Norwich this season and has started their last two Premier League matches. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/452564/EXCLUSIVE-Norwich-set-to-reject-Wes-Hoolahan-bid-from-Aston-Villa Well, any thought of Defour is now out of the window Or the geezer from Bradford......!!!!!!!

samjp26 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Our opening offer for Hoolahan has little bearing on any potential offer for Defour though. Unless Lambert is simply trolling Norwich, it would indicate that we have little to no funds available (as we expected anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted January 7, 2014 Moderator Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'd be curious to know how much those who don't rate Hoolahan value him at, if not £1.5m. It'd be a little hollow to criticise the club on that basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 This one will run for a bit. I do think he'll eventually end up here....either last day this window or in the summer. We need to get some players in sooner rather than later though particularly looking at our next three league games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyAnty Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 £750.000 is f****** joke and im not suprised Norwich are pisssed. I dont rate Hoolahan that highly but from us thats disgusting if true.......... If nothing else it's an insult to Hoolahan. I still hate Liverpool for doing that crap with Barry even though it was on a bigger scale. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
