thabucks Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Different end of the spectrum fee wise but if these rich Chinese fellas are coming in the day after the cup final win I think we should be looking slightly higher than Sako and go after the Roberts kid from Fulham. Or let's be greedy and get both 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) L'Equipe, the biggest French sports paper, are reporting that we are in advanced negotiations with Sako. It's worth noting that they were the first to report of our interest. (Google translate alert) Sako to Aston Villa Elected this weekend at the annual team type Championship (English D2), the midfielder Bakary Sako Wolverhampton (27 years, out of contract this summer) could not stay long at that level. The former Saint-Etienne, author of 14 goals and 8 assists in the league this season, is in advanced contacts with Aston Villa, currently 15th in the Premier League (two points behind with a game in the 18th over). The Mali international, who had been close to commit this winter in West Bromwich (always attentive to the file) recently declined the offers came from the Emirates. http://lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Sako-vers-aston-villa/554356#xtor=CS1-12?xtref=http://t.co/eUlVb4wt6c& Edited April 27, 2015 by Isa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSmirch Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 14 goals and 8 assists sounds like a great book 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Wouldn't he be competing with Grealish for minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Probably a cheaper alternative to Nzog Edited April 27, 2015 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Think he shall be seen as an upgrade on Weimann/Nzogbia instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I'm all for this signing though. Who knows if we will be able to get Sinclair and Cleverly on permanent deals. Plus we get a lot of injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Set up the Wolves goal at the weekend, he dosen't half put some power behind his shots from free kicks. Expect some 40 yard shots next season, everything Tonev wanted to be but couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) We can't negotiate with players based in England until June 1st so that article is complete bollocks. Edited April 27, 2015 by Milfner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Wouldn't he be competing with Grealish for minutes? We would have N'Zogbia, Grealish, Sako and potentially Sinclair competing for the support role(s). Seems fine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Makes the squad stronger and IMO a much better free transfer than the likes of senderos, Richardson and Cole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't go too far wrong for a free I don't think, we've been looking at this guy for a while by the sounds of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Makes the squad stronger and IMO a much better free transfer than the likes of senderos, Richardson and Cole. Richardson wasnt a free I bet he is no Brett Holman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I spoke to Wolves fans yesterday, apparently he does things for about 10 mins per game but goes AWOL Yes my Wolves mate says the same, says he can be amazing for a short period of time and then completely disappear for periods, one of the most frustrating players he's seen down there. Very much an N'zogbia replacement by the looks of it. I'd rather have Grealish,Nzogbia,Gil and Sinclair to be honest. No need for Sako IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) I still have a lot of reservations about this signing. If he was 22 then I'd be all for it but he's 27 and unproven in the premier league and he's far from consistent. Might be ok as a squad player but we should be setting our sights far higher. I hear West Ham are looking to sign Callum Wilson. I hope he stays at Bournemouth but would much rather we tried to sign him.

lexicon Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 He was in the Championship team of the season - that seems to be pretty consistent to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway looking at the team its strange that Bourmemouth have only two representatives and Watford one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more strange is that the Championship Player of the Season is not in the team of the season ( we are linked to him too as well though ahah but well..by Daily Mail soo..........yea.. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3058037/Aston-Villa-keen-summer-Chelsea-starlet-Patrick-Bamford.html) Edited April 28, 2015 by Alakagom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
