Morpheus Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Wouldn't mind Dawson from spurs as a cb option. Don't think he will be needed there next season I agree with this. My spurs supporting mate doesn't rate him and would swap for Bent, I would do that tomorrow! Please tell me you're not serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF we sold Benteke and we got Aubameyang, i'd be over the moon. Aubameyang would be a good replacement, obviously differs from Benteke in so many ways, but he's quality. Doubt we'll get him though, already linked to bigger clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found speculation linking him to schalke, Liverpool and Fenerbahce but nothing about us You sure? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dries_Mertens 37 goals in 62 matches for PSV. He's 26, not youngest, but still potential. Regular for Belgium too. He's kinda similar to Hazard as a player. Quick, very technically gifted, good drbiller. Overall, great player, would be terrific signing. Edited May 26, 2013 by Alakagom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) The Mertens rumour all stems from a season ticket holder on twitter. All the other "Transfer Twitter Accounts" and "Twitter ITKs" are all echoing his original comment which was that Villa are going to enquire PSV about his availability. This was first mentioned Friday evening. Everything since then is just echos rebounding off other people claiming to know information. Just because the number of people talking about it is increasing, don't read anything further in to it beyond "somebody on Twitter said so" (no matter what they claim to have got true in the past - correct or otherwise) until there's been a more concrete report in a media publication. As for the player himself postionally he makes sense as he would be an upgrade to our wide forwards of Gabby and Weimann. I would think clubs with a larger wage and transfer budget, including those in European competitions next year, would have a stronger chance of enticing him to join them rather than us at the moment.

Cambridge-AVFC Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Mertens is a top drawer player. I think he keeps Miralles out of the Belgian team? If we sign him, he will be comfortably our best player and will improve our strikeforce significantly. Really rate the lad, however I doubt he'll come to us.
