Hi ed is they any truth we have made a bid for -castaignos this would be a great move for the Aston villa {Ed001's Note - I don't know, I do know both yourself and Norwich have been scouting him repeatedly. I really wouldn't be surprised if either moved for him, or both for that matter, but I don't know of any bid right now.}
There are reports that are linking Villa with a move for either Costaignos or Finnbogason, both rumoured to be in the 6-8mil range.
For me, Finnbogason would be the preferred of the two just because he has a different skill set and would compliment Helenius (who just scored again)

I have to agree with you Leroy.
Finnbogason has a great touch, and finds the spaces well, he has made up for the loss of Bas Dost when he left Heerenveen.
Must admit have not seen much of him, but what I have seen he could be a good player for us.
Lets hope there is some truth in it, and its not just another false hope.

Or get both! Replace Benteke & Bent?
I think with Wiemann, Gabby, Bowery, Helenius, Benteke (?) and Burke, we have a host of guys that can contribute.
The clear focus is and always has been, an attacking player in the middle. And from match reports Leandro Bacuna had a very good match in that role.
He had two or three good shots on goal and was credited with the assist for Helenius' effort.
Bacuna should offer more than Delph and if we sign this amf type I think we can be looking dangerous as they will want to release the Andi Wiemanns and Gabby Agbonlahors of the team to counterattack.
Westwood is excellent so would have great competition in midfield for the first time in a while too.
Now to stop leaking those silly goals like we have this preseason.

Costaginos is way better young hungry and very fast
Tonev, Albrighton, Gardner & Bacuna all looked very hungry & dangerous! I wouldn't be surprised if Lambert played a bit more 4-4-2 this coming season.
Really hope delph doesn't lose his place in the startin 11. underrated and undervalued his work ethic is tremendous and good at both attacking and defending. only gona get better. a future captain the way he works so hard.
Even if delph does lose his place it will be excellent for us to have players like him on the bench, as apose to the likes of bannan and ireland. There will be fantastic competition for places which will keep all 11 starting players on their toes, the only place there isn't competition is RB but I don't think lowton really needs pushing, and even herd might fight for that place!
With so much quality in midfield, Lambert will have his work cut out trying to please every player!
Too much yapping over players most of us if we were big enough to admit it sighning a true villa fan like lescott would show what being at avfc really means
