Fazilla Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Bent going to Newcastle would be really good .. I think they're changing and trying to get some English players .. Which would let them little bit out of the foreign market .. And that could make it easier for us out there .. Especially in France .. + We have a space in the wage bell .. And the fee we get ! Anyway I think this is a hard one tbh .. I think Newcastle's plight should serve to teach others, including ourselves. That side should have been nowhere near the relegation zone, regardless of their injuries. If we sign the players who have been linked, then I think we should start to look a bit closer to home for any further additions. I don't think that this will be a problem at Villa. We have a core of British players in Baker, Gabby, Lowton, Westwood and Delph. Players from abroad such as Guzan, Weimann and Vlaar are English speaking and not likely to rock the boat. At Newcastle there are a number of French speaking players whose English is poor and it has been difficult to integrate them all. In addition Pardew is a word removed.

But people are moaning on them to get some English players .... blah blah blah .. Even if I'm not mistaken Pardew himself said that they need English players .. So they might be trying to change their policy somehow ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfcwills10 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I SO EXCITED!!!!!! Although i can't work out what represents better value :/, Tonev + Helenius + Okore for about £8m Or Curtis Davies for £10m?y! Oh actually, i know i know!! :clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfcwills10 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 The problem at Newcastle in my opinion, is that Pardew is a shite manager! Don't get any good vibes from him as a motivator at all, whereas with Lambert i really feel he knows his stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfcwills10 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Belhanda reeeeally would be the icing on top of the cake. He used to be a CDM aswell so could easily play in a 3 in the midfield and push forward, which is EXACTLY what we need! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Sylla, Westwood and Belhanda would be a really good midfield, young and energetic :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gompedyret Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) I think people need to forget about Belhanda. But I don't want to! I like the thought, so for now I'll just hold on to it. And besides for fueling hope, twitter's your friend: @AGFutbolNews On the brighter side for #AVFC fans. The signing of Belhanda is looking like a done deal. A fee and personal terms agreed. Medical pending. --- #AVFC fans doubting that Belhanda is set to undergo his medical - I will be expecting several apologies next week.

Rob182 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Petrov possibly suggesting Tonev, Laursen possibly suggesting Okore... Which other ex-Villa players could be suggesting players for us?

Haha that guy also says Benteke will leave because he is upset Guzan won the POTY award over him. That's rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompedyret Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Damn! Have I been fooled? I can't believe it! People deliberately lying on twitter, it's all a bit too much. Oh, the humanity. But wait! Another one informs that Villa has signed Danny Welbeck on a year-long loan. Wow, wild stuff happens really fast in this Window. Ok then, I'll slow down now.

It seems all the talk linking us to this guy comes back to one tweet from one Villa fan's account so take that in to account. File under sketchy twitter rumour for the time being.

Wes Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) @GraemeBailey 1m Reports in Holland say Aston Villa are making a move for Groningen winger Leandro Bacuna, who in-turn want Southampton's Steve de Ridder. If a Sky sports journo is tweeting about it then maybe there is more to this then.... I still say wait until we see a newspaper or website article, not from a fan site, before we get too excited.
