Dodgyknees Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'd guess we will spend 18-22m Out: Bent, Dunne, N'Zogbia, Ireland Bannan, Albrighton, Given, Warnock, Hutton. In: 4 + 1 loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Just seen this on twitter: http://www.thisiscornwall.co.uk/Aston-Villa-sign-Penryn-Sports-College-student/story-19045867-detail/story.html#axzz2TxN1CUse One for the future - 16 years old. Pro-contract because they don't want him to do a Daniel Crowley. The photograph suggests he is a forward or a winger who will be above average height.

HalfTimePost Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Would love Finnbogason at Villa. Think he'd be a great deputy to Benteke and could probably be our replacement for him come the end of next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LxYoungAVFC Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Taarabt, Myhill and Hennessey, still out celebrating Villa's survival, Taarabt is just another Ireland, arrogant and can't be arsed and if Guzan is out injured would you honestly want either of Myhill and Hennessey in between the sticks, I certainly wouldn't. Hmm...Isn't it a bit harsh comparing him to Ireland? I kind of like Taraabt. He's Confident on the ball, has a great first touch and outstanding ball control. Only problems are his workrate (which would certainly improve whilst training alongside Gabby, Delph, Weimann and Sylla) and his ambition to nutmeg all of the opposition (Zoggy syndrome with more skills)... Not my Nr.1 target but I wouldn't say no at a reasonable price! Apart from him I think we could give these a go: GK: Why not give Siegrist a try? CB: Aleksandar Dragovic ; Joleon Lescott; Bruno Martins Indi LB: Martin Olsson; Aaron Cresswell; Faouzi Ghoulam AM: Dwight Gayle; Maxime Lestienne ; Aiden McGeady; Steven Zuber ST: Imoh Ezekiel Peace!

juanpabloangel18 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Given Dunne Warnock Hutton Ireland Makoun Bannan Bent Delfouneso - all gone, should raise at least 20mil to spend on 3/4 defenders and a backup forward. Would like summer to be focused on the defence assuming we keep hold of everyone else. also, is there any reason as to why warnock and hutton aren't listed on the squad on the OS, or is it just painfully ironic coincedence Edited May 21, 2013 by juanpabloangel18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed MON and Eck snap up jobs quickly this summer, might help. But if we can get 8 mil for Bent, then Given, Warnock, Hutton, Ireland, Makoun, Bannan, and Delfouneso...... yeh you're right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Nursey of The Mirror saying Lambert is after: 2 Fullbacks (1 being Cresswell) 1 Experienced Centre Half (Lescott) 1 Creative midfielder (Luke Murphy) Paul Lambert is prioritising improving Aston Villa’s defence after transfer talks with owner Randy Lerner. MirrorSport understands the Villans boss Lambert wants two new full-backs, an experienced centre-half and a creative midfielder this summer. He is set to bid again for Ipswich left-back Aaron Cresswell, 23, after missing out last summer before getting Joe Bennett. Martin Rose Lambert also wants an experienced stopper - Manchester City’s Joleon Lescott is still on his radar - plus a midfield schemer with Crewe captain Luke Murphy, 23 having been watched several times by the Villa boss. Further signings will be made if Villa manage to offload any fringe players or flops like Karim El Ahmadi. Richard Dunne has been released while Shay Given, Darren Bent and Stephen Ireland can all go. Lambert is scouting new strikers in case Villa receive an irresistible offer for Christian Benteke. But Lambert and Villa insiders are hopeful the marksman will pen a new contract. Mirror As far as that goes, I would like all of those but I really 100% cannot see Lescott coming in. Presuming Nursey is right (I know, its the Mirror, but still) Guzan Lowton Vlaar Lescott Cresswell Westwood Sylla Weimann Murphy Agbonlahor Benteke Could be quite nice! Chuck in a young, direct winger/wide forward (Lestienne would be lovely) and a striker to deputise/replace [next summer] Benteke (Finnbogason for me) and I would be very happy. But I cannot, at all see Lescott and I think Cresswell will be out of our price range for a left back considering we spent £3m on Bennett just 10 months ago.

Oaks Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I think Lescott would be a great signing if the wages aren't to high, I think he's price is about £4 million. He can also cover left back and bags a few goals. But it goes against Lamberts philosophy, I think it's a to simplistic link, I can't see it happening. Although I hope it does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pembers Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Pretty certain Warnock has already been sold to Leeds in January, so that free's up his wages for another player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LockStockVilla Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) I'd expect surely more than 4 in. For me the outgoings look like: Dunne (Out of Contract) Petrov (Retire) Lichaj (Out of Contract) Hutton (Loan/Sold) Given Ireland N'Zogbia Bannan Holman Edited May 21, 2013 by LockStockVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I also forgot Bent. Definitely will be a cull of players out. I'm just very interested to see what happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I think Lescott is a good defender, but not sure it is the right move for us. He has a serious lack of concentration at times too, which wouldn't help our mistake prone defence. I think we need a true leader/ organiser in the back line and that is not Lescott.

Czechlad Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'd like to see us sign Omar Gonzalez from the LA Galaxy. Really good defender and would not cost too much. We desperately need an attacking midfielder as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CryptoN Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 We desperately need an attacking midfielder as well. Oh, if my passion shared by players from Russia. I'd like to see in Aston Villa, Alan Dzagoev from CSKA Moscow. The only player from Russia, who can play in English football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
