diehardvillan Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Have we heard anything about him today? He rang me earlier for a brief chat. I bought him a pre-pay phone so no-one would listen to our calls. Can't say too much right now, but I am meeting him at airport the tomorrow. But which one....

packoman Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 The Scottish Sun LECH POZNAN last night accepted a £2.6million bid from Aston Villa for Celtic target Aleksandar Tonev. Now Villa boss Paul Lambert — a former Hoops skipper — is confident he can wrap up the signing of the highly-rated star this weekend. SunSport revealed last month that Celts had targeted the Bulgarian winger, 23. But Lambo has now nipped ahead of old team-mate Neil Lennon and a string of top continental clubs. After positive talks with Lambert yesterday, all that remains is for Villa to agree personal terms with Tonev who, sources say, is desperate to play in the English Premier League.

Supervillan78 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Good news then, £2.6m is peanuts and he looks decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 And I bet its not even £2.6m! Hopefully the story above is true about positive talks, looks as if the Premier League is what has made him stutter with his Celtic move. First signing of the Summer it looks to be after all.

KSV Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Awesome. Well done Petrov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 in some of the videos on youtube hes the free kick taker. Hopefully he can cross. He looks good on youtube. Quick and a good dribbler with a powerful shot. Up against woeful defenders though. Be interesting to see if he can step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 in Kendricks latest article with a polish expert he says that Tonev is not even a regular starter there? Bit of a worry that he cannot make that league as a regular? He is young though. Who knows. Looks technically good and has good pace and a good shot. All you need in the premier league. Hope he can cross.. Lukaku wasn't a starter most of the season .. though everybody are talking about how bad West Brom will do without him .. I saw one video for Tonev .. But tbh .. I don't want to go and try to watch until he signs .. Not really good to watch anyone and get impressed with him when he'll not sign .. I was very impressed with his shots .. We really need someone like him ! Rotate him with Weimann .. and Sometimes with Gabby .. Two of them starts .. One comes later .. Depends on every match ..

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I hope he can have half the debut Stan did at West Ham if the deal gets done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alpaywasawesome Posted June 1, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2013 If he's still undecided, I say tell him he gets Petrov's number 19 shirt. A symbolic changing of the guard. I think Stan won't mind presenting the shirt to him either. I mean it makes sense on all counts - this would boost shirt sales amongst Bulgarian fans, good for us, Stan gets a youngster he rates highly to inherit his shirt, and I'm sure Tonev would be well chuffed too. C'mon, Tonev 19! Let's make it happen! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted June 1, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 1, 2013 Sounding promising, as for the fee don't take much notice the press just guess them and are often very wide of the mark as they were with most of our signings last summer for instance.

AstonMartin82 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Don't like the shirt idea... I think we're getting a bit OTT... he might end up being utter pants and that will only tarnish the shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstonMartin82 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 His goals on YouTube look awesome... and he is 2 footed as well. From this 2 minute video it looks more of a replacement for N'Zogbia than any of our other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I think we should just leave the 19 shirt void for a couple of seasons. Let things settle and time pass for a while before we move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) All for this type of signing - of course, the obligatory YouTube montages make him look very decent but would like to think PL and his scouting team have unearthed another inexpensive player! I see him as a potential replacement for Holman and/or N'Zogbia. Edited June 1, 2013 by theboyangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
