"Aston Villa Venezuela Dutch transfer rumours espanol version"? More likely our friend (or his agent) is trying to manufacture a move and has a buddy at Marca I'm not disputing that mr santos probably is trying to drum up business. You'll notice that doesn't mean there's anything in the rumour. So why do marca report it? Do they have a reporter on the Aston villa beat, carefully probing sources at the club? Obviously, no. They run it because reporting transfer rumours related to premier league clubs - true or otherwise - drives up their click count from google traffic.

KSV Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Santos and Adebayor or Remy on loan. One won't be enough. Especially if gabby and Kazak go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, surely little Wesley Sneijder was in the middle of the back seats too? Wow, sounds like Remi is lining up an 8 chair press conference for next week.

VillaChris Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Someone on the Stoke forum says Marc Wilson joining us for 4.5m. Always struck me as average but has been a regular for Stoke last 5 years. Can play RB, LB, CH and DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we got rid of Lescott and replaced him with Wilson then it wouldn't be an upgrade imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Yeah him being this window's answer as a CB dosen't strike me with confidence. Stokies like him as an LB most so that might be the long term solution. http://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/252937/marc-wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 £4.5m would be way more than we would be prepared to pay with money being too tight to mention at Villa Park (ask our new chairman it would be like throwing money at it)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Im sure Wilson is injured, havent seen him play for a while and hasnt even played for Republic this season as he was 1st choice centre half before injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Wezbid Posted January 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2016 I wouldn't call Wilson terrible at all. He's not a name or anything to get the loins going, nor a signing that would make you feel, right, we're giving this a bloody good go but he's been a solid enough player of a Stoke side who have finished comfortably mid-table to upper-half for a while now. I'm not advocating signing him but all these sorts of players the fans don't want can't be that shocking. Your Marc Wilson's, Glen Whelan's, James Morrison's, Chris Brunts, Danny Drinkwater's, Glen Johnson's, Huth, Shawcross, Dann etc etc, they're reliable in the main yet many have been linked over the past few years and people have said no. Charlie Austin is another a decent number didn't fancy, well the teams like Southampton do think he's decent enough. I bet if Deeney or Ighalo had signed in the summer the response wouldn't have been that positive from plenty (ignoring the blue-nose part of Deeney). I'm not trying to suggest Marc Wilson is going to keep us up or is a game changer but he's a decent enough player. Terrible? I think not. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I don't see what Wilson offers us that we don't already have. We're struggling massively with attacking options and we could do with a good RB. I'd be surprised if that story has legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 That keeper looks massive in the goals. He would have great reach. Sign him up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually wouldn't be against this transfer even for that price. Could do a good job in the championship too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
