Villa are in a transfer battle with Newcastle over Spanish Segunda Divison striker Naranjo. The 21-year-old scored 15 goals for Gimnastic de Tarragona last season and has a release clause of £2.3 million. I have no idea who he is so I don't have much to say about this, just thought I'd put it out there.
17 Jun 2016 10:59:01
So the press says.
17 Jun 2016 10:44:05
he is close to joining Newcastle mate. he's an ok striker but somewhat of a squad addition.

If its true why oh why are we looking at unknown, unproven foriegn players from lower leagues, have the club not learnt à massive lesson from the nightmare Paddy Reilly caused?! We need proven, or experienced players who understand thé club not just how much they will be paid!
17 Jun 2016 17:09:08
Who heard of Benteke? Vlaar? Ooo heck let's go back some years. Mellberg.
Also where was Vardy from? Lower league?
17 Jun 2016 20:20:46
Very good point Ruggerz, but if we get him (if) it will take at least a season for him to adjust to english football (air ball), but i the brief is for us to go back up first time round, so mixed messages, but i fear the bar codes have him already.
18 Jun 2016 00:50:01
Missing the Point slightly Ruggerz! Benteke was on fire In the belgian league and the premiership already had a number of his countrymen who were doing well here, Vlarr Was also known In this country as was Melberg so not sure errrm what your trying errrm to say?! Those players were also at a higher Level than some of the Rubbish Reilly and or Lamberk signed. My Point is We shouldn't look at lower league unknowns. get it? Lol.

Also If you hadnt noticed Vardy did well In the Championship before then repeating that In the premiership. Strange comment pal.

We all have a view about our previous managers, but i would like to say paul lambert was handed a poisoned chalice and then some, mcleish had purchased nzogbia, knowing he had been found guilty of getting one of his mates to take his driving test for him, and he still signed him!,
hand shandy randy promised him this and that only to renege time after time, as for lambert's signings, benteke was one, he had a deal in place for lukaku to decide upon only for the yank to bottle it as usual, not all his signings worked, but bearing in mind what he had to spend and work with. i think he did really well, he even got a scout from a german bundesleague team highly rated to scout for us, but every time he put a name forward the yank bottled it
one name was mane, who was i think 15 or 16 at the time, but old j arthur rank wouldn't put his hand in his pocket, we got gill for a song, but again the owner pulled the plug on 2 other signing which would have enhanced our defence and midfield, so i for one salute you paul lambert, its just a shame that the yank didn't back you, be lucky for the future fella!

player signed for celta so not to worry.
18 Jun 2016 18:23:00
Not to worry - Naranjo in Spanish means Orange Tree - methinks we've got enough dead-wood and planks in the squad already .
18 Jun 2016 18:25:57
Do remember us being in pole for tadic and we got Tonev, dead on for Lukaku on loan randy pulled the plug, same for de bruyne from his Chelsea days.
19 Jun 2016 07:37:39
People forget really quickly, so again, Paul Lamberto i salute you sir, a fine manager and and a man of integrity, with more class than people realise, SALUTE.
19 Jun 2016 08:37:17
Harsh, but fair.
