Isa Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Southampton's scouting team clearly liked him so I'll take that as reason to believe he might be a bit good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdomlahor Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Gueye looked set for Marseille but a number of Premier League clubs made offers and Villa have moved ahead in the pursuit of his signature. The move would represent one of the biggest in recent years, surpassing the £7million fee paid to Genk for Christian Benteke – the highest price predecessor Paul Lambert was able to pay. Marseille, Southampton, West Ham and Crystal Palace have all bid for the 25-year-old but it seems Villa have beaten their top-flight rivals. Agent Mark McKay, acting for Lille, said: 'Idrissa has a lot of interest and the pull of Marseille is big for any player in France but the lure of the Premier League should outweigh that. 'He is due to speak to Paddy Reilly, Aston Villa's director of recruitment tomorrow and hopefully matters will be concluded.' Quote from the agent now. Good stuff!

useless Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) never going to happen he isnt a British player for Brighton or Derby or ex-Spurs Sherwood knows no foreigners Well looks like we might be signing this guy, there was the heavily reported interest in the Nice left-back and quite a few other links too. So looks like Sherwood knows one or two players from overseas. Edited July 1, 2015 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Could Be Rotterdam Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Could the money for this not be coming from a takeover rather than selling Benteke? Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Benteke is leaving. But I don't see us spending that money unless it is much further ahead than we know, which I don't think it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I remember last year and us singing Sánchez and people speculating that it must have been funded by new owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete101 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Or maybe it's his summer budget and he is spending it differently to Lambert who bought bulk of low quality rather then few high quality 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 We usually have one big money signing a summer. 2011- N'zogbia 2012- Benteke 2013- Kozak 2014- Well it was going to be Cleverley before the permanent deal had to be shelved, Man. United accepted our 8m bid remember so it was legitimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Until he's ITSOTP or ITSABMH I refuse to get excited. He sounds good so if he does join then it's got to be good news surely even for us on VT Just as long as it's not money from Delph though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electronicmaji Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) How many defensive mids do we have now? is Sanchez leaving? edit: then again if sanchez stays a good double 5 line would be Gueye-Sanchez. Both speak french. Edited July 1, 2015 by electronicmaji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Feels so strange to be spending money. And not having bids rejected. Not seen anything of the lil' guy, but hopefully he will prove to be a talent so we can hear all the transfer rumours linking him with a move away this time next year.

So it looks like it isn't Sherwood doing the running on this. Zatman, of course, was expecting a reaction and yet he just sounds silly now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United accepted our 8m bid remember so it was legitimate. What £8m bid? The deal was we could buy him for £8m at any time during his loan, doesn't mean that money ever existed or that we ever made a bid, all it means is we had an agreement in principle if we wanted it Not sure why there was ever so much confusion over the £8m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Why do some assume that this money comes from benteke/delph sale? You do realise we just had a massive exodus? And I bet this guy will be on 30ish k a week, where as I believe that cleverley must had been on 50ish. Plus weimanns wages, plus bents wages, plus sylla, plus vlaar... It all adds up, so please, if we buy him, and then 2x £ 4 million players followed by a 5 million left back do not assume that we have sold Villa Park.

Paul Lambert, the Aston Villa manager, has had an £8 million bid for Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley accepted, and is ready to open contract talks with Fabian Delph after his call-up to the England squad. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/aston-villa/11062565/Manchester-United-accept-8m-bid-for-Tom-Cleverley-as-Paul-Lambert-prepares-for-talks-with-Fabian-Delph.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
