Kiwivillan Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 On another note as people know we were after Falcao a couple of years back. Just read that we were also after james rodriguez as well. What could have been.... Is this the first time in 5 years we haven't been after Defoe? I feel like I've come out of a bomb shelter after a nuclear holocaust.

Jimzk5 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I'll put this falcao myth to bed once again, we were never after him, we were never offered him, at the time he was at river plate angel was still at villa, angel recomended falcao to O'Neill. That was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local radio in France (at least, that's what I think that site is for) says there was someone from Villa watching Boudebouz in Sochaux's game last night against Evian.

Jimzk5 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Also signing him would have been a nightmare as he was only part owned by riverplate and third party ownership isn't allowed in England, hence why he went to Porto with riverplate only receiving £3million for him.

Wes Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Also related to us, Finnbogason may be going to Celtic for £3.25m. I'd like him for that money as a luxury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you there, plus low wages, though we have enough attackers now. I think he'd have been the option if Benteke left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Apparently we were after this guy last season, and still might be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xL-TSN8YVk Jeroen Lumu from relegated dutch side Willems II. Fast and tricky forward valued at £2-3m. I've only seen him play once and that was with the dutch u-17 so hard to say how good he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
