Hey Guys, remember me saying that Tim Sherwood's comment that Benteke would stay at Villa was just kidology to get the right price. Don't like to blow my own trumpet but now you see. All i say now is take note of my other comments on the takeover and Tim's comments regarding that, sit back relax and wait for news to break because like i stated this ain't over.!! ;-)

No no no no no please

I think we're going to have too many centre mids-delph, gueye, Westwood, Gary Gardner, Sanchez, herd, Cole. and we're looking at more?
Who's going to play Number 10? Gil, super jack, nzogbia (who I hope leaves)
As for strikers, not the end of the world. Sell him to its and do a deal for Hernandez or Wilson. Remy probably available too. Much rather him go to Utd than Liverpool!

I'd rather ian Wright come out of retirement than him.!!!

Agree0 Disagree0

I'd prefer the concrete to Bradley Wright Philips.
Like to see us get Townsend, then a quality defender and 2 quality forwards. Not much to ask is it? 😁

Well it looks like LFC are about to sign CB20 and Newcastle are signing Austin. If we had trouble scoring goals last year, how bad will it be without Tekkers and no decent replacement. I'm always optimistic at the start of a season, but with Tekkers gone and no takeover, I think this year might be the year we go down.

Austin gone no where nothing been agreed wot you on about

Agree2 Disagree0

16 Jul 2015 21:13:52
He's not gone yet. though it is slightly disappointing that on the official site today's pics from Portugal don't show him involved.

Long time reader of this site and a few others of yours. Thought I'd share a murmor I heard through the grape vine.

Being from swindon and seeing as it's all about inbred everyone knows someone whose either married too or siblings. Or both!! Anyway long story short Charlie aistins wife is a local girl and heard through her father she is in no way moving to Tyneside !!!

May be a load of rubbish but thought I'd share.

And can I just take the time to say good job edds

{Ed007's Note - Now that's a good old fashioned rumour. :) Thanks buddy and welcome to the site.}

I see we have been linked with the striker Destro from Roma as well has his team mate Ljajic

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - Ljajic would be a cracking signing for AV. I don't watch much Italian football but I've been impressed with what I've seen of him.}

16 Jul 2015 17:08:19
Ye, he terrorizes defenses down the left, cuts in well, good on set pieces and strong on his feet. Would work well with a natural finisher like Austin, valued around 8 - 10 mil.

My only wonder is my have Scott Sinclair on the left already, don't see either one of them happy as squad players.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Ljajic can play through the middle as well so perhaps that's where TS sees him.}

16 Jul 2015 17:29:42
Would great to have that versatility then, especially with the amount of injuries we racked up last season. Also only 23 years old. If we get Townsend on the left and possibly Austin that is some serious speed on the front line. Might be pushing the budget though based on the money we may get from Benteke sale.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Don't get bogged down thinking about the finances, it'll just fry your brain :=D

16 Jul 2015 17:47:40
Ha ha for sure, think all us Villa fans brains' might be fried already.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - It's onwards and upwards for Villa this coming seeing season.}

16 Jul 2015 17:57:10
Always staying positive! When CB20 was purchased how much did we know about him?!! After say 10 games many would have sent him out on loan somewhere! Local radio were very critical of his touch and nose for goal. I look forward to another lesser known overseas striker becoming the next villa giant! Shame about Austin all the same

Agree1 Disagree0

Could be an interesting situation.
Both LFC & MUFC both showing more than a passing interest in Benteke. We just might get a bit more than 32.5m if they get into a bidding session.
Could Gunners or Chelski also join in then the value might rise significantly.
Benteke would go to either and we end up with a bit more to spend providing Lerner does not close his purse as he has done in the past.

I am also hoping on a bit of a bidding war, how high could it possibly go though considering Liverpool have been stalling so much. If there are any trades involved I would rather have hernandez than Lambert, if that is an option.

Agree1 Disagree0

16 Jul 2015 16:47:52
I don't think it works like that i think it's just a case of everyone bids £32.5m and Benteke chooses where he goes

Agree2 Disagree0

16 Jul 2015 17:33:09
Yeah I agree with the villian. the fee obviously has to be accepted. Then benteke chooses his desired destination.

Agree2 Disagree0

16 Jul 2015 16:05:03
With benteke looking set to leave I think we should be looking to replace him with two strikers, almost a safer bet rather than putting all your eggs into one basket.
As far as the whole Austin interest goes I'd be looking for a joint deal with QPR which would include Phillips too, a cheaper option than pursuing Townsend who's a great player but overpriced.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

16 Jul 2015 16:25:22
QPR have priced Austin at 15mil and Phillips at 10mil. I would rather the 25mil go towards Townsend 15mil and walker 8mil

Agree1 Disagree1

16 Jul 2015 16:43:59
Would need a striker really, for me praet and townsend, and try for Austin as well

Agree1 Disagree1

16 Jul 2015 15:53:55
Now bentekes going I'd go in for David lafata of sparta Prague, scores goals for fun. Thoughtso anyone

Believable0 Unbelievable0

16 Jul 2015 16:12:03
Bit old now. He's 33

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Jul 2015 15:22:10 suspending bets on benteke to move to Liverpool. As much as I don't want to see him go, we could spend the money on Austin and Townsend. Good business. VTID

Believable3 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Aston Villa are being kept informed by Anderlecht of any approaches for Dennis Praet and I suspect they might be first to put an acceptable offer on the table.

16 Jul 2015 16:10:17
Quality player. I hope we get him. Fingers crossed.

Agree0 Disagree0

Cissokho to Fiorentina, good move for him if it happens and another one off the books.
