Villa are close to agreeing deals to sign Jed Steer from Norwich, Jores Okore & Nicklas Helenius. It is also understood Villa are looking at signing another winger which is believed still to be Younes Belhanda.

I take it the Cresswell transfer is not going to happen then?
Other Premier clubs now chasing his services apparantly.

Honestly never heard of Jed Steer but if he's highly rated I doubt Norwich will sell him to Lambert

Just adding a bit more meat to the bones of what I first posted here - we've had a £4m bid accepted for Okore.

Rumour has it Mike Ashley wants Darren Bent. I'm hearing that Papiss Cisse could be offered in exchange - which to me would be folly as we don't need another striker, especially one which will add nothing we don't already have/getting.
Agree5

I have it on a very reliable source that pipis cisse wants to leave england fullstop, so can't see this happening.
However bent to newcastle/fulham/stoke will happen.

Maybe not Cisse but Cabaye would do nicely ;)

Leandro Bacuna is the next one i'd like to add to the list of players we shall sign. Okore is flying in for a medical today & will also have to complete a full medical before having his move completed.
Bacuna is a dutch 21 year old winger.

Deal nearly completed for Danish striker nicklas helenius, rising star from aalborgs has been attracting attention from a host of top European clubs but villa have stole his signature with the attraction of Paul lambert giving youth a chance.

Helenius is known as a bulky tall striker with a lot of ability with his feet. Will be interesting to see him line up with Benteke or have Helenius/Benteke on the bench as another option with Gabby & Weimann also on!

6'5'' bean pole, who plays like Peter Crouch when he arrived at AVFC, check Helenius out on Youtube.
Agree3

Unusual style of play, hopefully he can head the ball as well!

Looks like he plays a lot better than Peter Crouch mate but maybe that's because he's playing in a much lower league. He seems to be a great talent regardless

Never seen this Helenious play a full 90mins but you only have to watch
2 mins of him on YouTube to see that the only comparison to Crouch is their similar in height. Irony is all the highlights of seen of him since yesterday, I havnt seen him score a header and considering his size, that's a surprise.
Helenious looks quick, sharp turning with the ball, has fantastic quick feet and has a powerfull shot on him.
Could be another Gem.

Helenious reminds me of john Carew when he was between 23-26, quick ish strong, can run with the ball, eye for goal and looks a handful when he attacks the ball in the air
Agree7

Helenius is known as the young & rising Ibrahimovic - seems like a £5m deal this is, will be an absolute steal like with Benteke!
Agree5

Hoping he's a hell of a lot better than crouch was here. didint play well for us with a poultry goal return of 6 in 30 odd games (awful!). so hoping helenius will be waaaaaay more effective for us.
Agree7

Poultry goal return? Don't bring chickens into it, that would be a fowl thing to do

Stop with the clucking puns please. Helenius would be an eggcelent signing

Looks great just saw him on YouTube but remember boskow ballaban.
I can't spel

Does that mean we are poaching Helenius?
Agree3

Atleast we're only paying a
million quid ish on helenius instead of the crazy £6m that we spent on balaban

Plenty of goalmouth scrambles ahead then
