According to Sherwood we still have Lerner as the deal has fallen through.
Probably means that we will have to sell Benteke to pay for the payers coming in.
When will we get rid of this troublesome yank?

I wouldn't say it is 'confirmed'- what would Sherwood know?

Hey Gents, first post from a life long Villa fan all the way from South Africa, bestowed on me by my expat Brummie family.

Firstly, just want to thank you lads for the great banter and rumours, it's the first site I go on every morning. It really helps me keep up to date, not having the local connections here you lot you have.

Secondly, I believe there was rumour of an announcement from Villa Park today. Anyone got any intel as of yet?

Yeah - unfortunately the takeover is dead!

Always nice to hear that the Villa have fans from all across the world - welcome to the site.

Thank Andy, Small group of us here in SA but I do my part.

I must say, even if the takeover is off the cards, the purchase of Gueye and now hopefully Amavi surely can't just be hearsay buying based on the fact that we may raise funds from a Benteke sale because neither Sherwood or Lerner know if Benteke is going yet.

Obviously Lerner had it in his mind to spend some money without a takeover and with our without the sale of Tekkers. So it does look promising even though it might be the worse case scenario.

I agree its nice to be getting players like gueye and amavi who have that higher level of quality than the vast majority of Lamberts signings, but if you take into account Sherwoods sales, he must of raised 5-6 million and got a lot of unnecessary wages off the book. So really only around 12-13 million has been put in by Lerner so far. That's way below average for a Premier League Summer Window. I just hope there is more to come without having to sell Benteke. If we could get Townsend and Walker in as well, we would have a very competitive looking first 11 with some reasonable subs. A season of mid table obscurity and no threat of relegation would do me just fine at this stage.

Ye, I completely agree, we add in the Sinclair as well and we have doubled our spend from last season already, really hope we can get Townsend for sure. Not ideal mate, but I must say I am feeling more positive. Still feeling a bit down on the takeover latest, I think the 'not knowing' is the worst feeling.

I think number one priority is building the commercial aspect and bringing in talented youth this season, this should make us more appealing to buyers to invest against FFP. Oh forgot. and STAY UP maybe mid table with these players. End of the day Tom Fox (Commercial strength) and Sherwood (Youth strength)

Villa SA - if Sterling is worth 50 million because of his potential, image what Grealish will be worth by this time next year, especially if he chooses England over Ireland. We will be rolling in it. Obviously I'd rather keep him but I wouldn't turn down 100 million for him :)

Yes Andy can't wait, reckon there's a big future for the Kid. A little more confidence to take some shots is all he needs so he can get the goals coming in. Let's hope, Robinson follows suit.

I would 100% want benteke to stay although if he does go there is an upside. With the money we could bring in Townsend, amavi and possibly Austin or embolo. Not sure where I stand on Adebayor. Seems a bit too washed up me?? there's a chance sherwoo could make him work but with his wages could just be a liability. Not a player that I'd want at the club to be honest. Hopefully benteke stays.

last player of any we are linked with i want to sign is adebayor. old, slow, selfish and from what I've seen over last few years lazy if the balls not at feet. rather resign heskey or miloservic
