ArteSuave Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 What the **** has growing got to do with it? It doesn't matter if he's stopped growing, still growing or growing **** tomatoes in his green house. Draxler is so far our of our reach it's **** laughable. Last year someone suggested De Rossi and it was pointed out that he was on £150k/week with 5 years left on his contract and captain of his home town team who happen to play CL football. This wouldn't be as ridiculous as that until you include the £7m price which not only takes the biscuit, it takes the whole **** plate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONCABA Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 If we're still going to live by the "young and hungry" type players we hear so much about, then why not former Porto striker Walter? He currently plays in the Brasilerao for Goias. Young? Check. Hungry? Apparently so. He looks like a fat and older version Gabby. He''s near death mate. STARVING!

Pez1974 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Who ever taught you Biology at school should be ashamed, Benteke was nearly 21 and had by then fully developed Massive footnote to the thread, but I grew 2 1/2 inches between the ages of 22 and 25, and my brother, now 21 has grown an inch in the last year So I'd go back to the biology books skip I was 6'3" when I was 12. Now, pushing 40, I'm 6'3" ~(plus maybe a little bit). People are different. Anyway, signings...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However there is no exact cut off point for growing. Some bones continue to grow throughout your life. I would imagine though Benteke is fully developed now! God help us if he isn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 10, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 10, 2013 It wouldn't surprise me if we used some of our time in Germany to seal at least one German signing. It seems like good use of our time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Would also be interested in Philipp Hosiner. Austrian Striker playing for Austria Wein and has scored 32 goals this season. Impressive record too with 60 goals in 107 apps (last 3 seasons) We should sign this guy. I don't know anything about him, apart from what you've said, but he's Austrian. Weimann and Hosiner upfront! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hosiner would be a lovely replacement... not as physically imposing as CB but one of the best young forwards in Europe that we could get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LxYoungAVFC Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I was surprised to see that Austria Wien played some really attractive football in the Highlight-videos. Hosiner's movement is impressive, so is his decision making under pressure. Would be nice but... we'll see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyp_avfc Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Hoping we get a large chunk of the money from CB's sale... Lambert could invest that very well... Bring in Kiyotake, Hosiner, a Young back up RB and we would be a cracking side going into the season! Would love us to get someone like Maxi Beister as a Second striker/Attacking Mid.... Very talented kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea who it could be if this isn't BS. Big name in Germany who is young, fits mould and would come to us? I have no names. Football Rumours.com 09 Jul 2013 08:04:45 Good morning Villa fans News from the coal face again, the boys are away in Germany and you will have all seen this mornings papers and web sites we here are all trying our best to try and keep the big man but he will leave I do have some news though with the money we will get from the transfer a big name will be coming in to replace him cannot say as it is awkward but he's coming from the bosses contacts in Germany, possible now bent will be staying as back up. The middfieldervwe have been chasing is almost complete the boss has a few others in his sights also news that next year Mr Learner is going to replace the north stand stand by for designs to be released on the website very impressive.

KjParton Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) If he's ITK with the club, why can't he spell Mr Lerner correctly?
