Pilchard 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. It was this link that started the alarm bells for me with regards to O'Neill. We were linked to him in the press, to which it was reported that Martin said something along the lines of "It's news to me. I think we'd be looking a little closer to home".

Avflife Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) Get French Football @GFN_France25m Confirmed: Aston Villa scouts watched Sochaux's Ryad Boudebouz last night. Club would need €5m to sell the player. #AVFC #FCSM Retweeted by Dominique COURDIER Guy's well known enough in France. That pretty much confirms our interest in him to be honest, very reliable source, even though its on Twitter. Still couldn't say if we will sign him or not, think it will be either him or Kiyotake if we manage to get rid of some of the bigger earners from the 'Bomb squad', a la Bent, Ireland and Given. Don't know much about him, but I didn't have a **** clue who Benteke was before 31st August lol. Edited August 11, 2013 by Avflife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Aston Villa want to sign Las Palmas Plantilla forward Jose Artiles Romero. (Marca) Again, Lambert's transfer policy at work: We have matching pairs of Frenchmen, Danes, Irish. Next step matching pair of Spanishers. Maybe we're after a matching pair of shisha smokers?

Nabby Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Still lot of teams strengthening , we look good at moment but I think could still do with one or 2 more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'm a little worried for us defensively, but I think we're done with defensive transfers. It's going to be another season of leaking goals, just hopefully not as many. When Okore gets up to speed, fingers crossed, we'll start to look a teeeny, tiinnyy bit more solid at the back.

abdulaziz1 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'd rather Kiyotake than Ryad .. btw I didn't see full matches from them .. Maybe Ryad couple of mins with Algerian team .. But from the clips .. I think we're missing someone like Kiyo more .. And tbh I think him being in the midfield could make me feel rest as if we're with the trio of Delph , Westwood and Sylla .. but with more creativity .. while with Ryad it seems to be like with Zog or Ireland ..

mikeyp102 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Wolves attacker Boukari apparently in talks with Sochaux, replacement for Ryad? Meaning he is on his way to us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnie Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Shame we haven't signed any English players. Quite liked the policy of last season of signing young English players mixed with the odd foreign talent.

Benteke aside, Westwood & Lowton have been 2 of our best signings from recent seasons. Bennet less so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Why does it matter what nationality they are? It's better to simply just go for the best prospects we can (or what Lambert believes to be the best prospects). We've still got plenty of English players anyway.

AVFCforever1991 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Honestly, I don't care if they are born on Antarctica as long Lambert thinks they can do a job.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo82 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 In past yrs i was all for the English/UK born players playing for Villa as it almost had that prestige about it, these days i couldnt care less where they are from, infact almost every player we signed and then went on to cement a place in the England international team went on to leave us sharpish...over the last 3-4 yrs i've really started to get a dislike for the Enlgland team which i know is bad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packoman Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Anyway we've signed Steer .. lol .. And Prynn Looks like he's gone again though. The Liam Prynn signing story has been posted up again, just for information, I am led to believe he has returned to Torquay United due to homesickness. This was mentioned by the Torquay manager at a fans forum and Prynn has been named on the list of Torquay United scholars. Whether he will come back, I don't know but I would doubt it.
