Guzan could be on his way for 3m? Would love to see tim krul in goal for the villa

19 Jul 2015 20:47:25
I think if TS want winning mentality he should try a cheeky bid for valdes because LVG don't want him

19 Jul 2015 21:32:10
This a real strange one Tim must have someone in mind because if guzan leaves we're left with bunn and steer would not be impressed

19 Jul 2015 21:52:04
Strange indeed with Villa official site main headline singing Guzans praise in USA team gold cup?? Mad to sell and splash cash on a keeper when too many other priorities for the spine!

19 Jul 2015 23:28:31
Tom Heaton all the way would be best GK,burnley relegated he was top 5 stopper in PL last season,would love him to sign VP contract :)

20 Jul 2015 07:42:05
I agree with Villan_1985 & NickB6, this is strange the only thing I can suggest is that perhaps there as been some behind the scenes fall out between Guzan and Sherwood as the papers at the moment seem to be singing nothing but praises for Guzan. Sherwood must have a replacement in mind I would of thought so interesting to see how this pans out.

Valdés is going to Valencia last time I checked.

How about Sergio Romero, the Argentinian goalkeeper. On a free transfer, played in the World Cup. Cheap option if he wants a new goal keeper?

19 Jul 2015 12:31:07
I am hopefull of seeing plenty of activity this week with the boys being bk from Portugal. I just hope to god tim doesn't panic buy. In my opinion Adebayor is exactly that. Yes it makes sense to buy an experienced premiership striker but Adebayor will be like uncle Albert from only fools and horses ("during the war"). he was lazy even in his arsenal days so god only knows what he will be like now. Mr sherwood please please spend that money wisely. I have faith.

19 Jul 2015 16:29:12
For a player Tim Sherwood got the best out of I for one would welcome Adebayor. Villa fans are deluded to think we'll go and get another Christian benteke.
Aswell as this signing we would still need another striker, bamford whether it be a loan or permanent signing ticks the boxes for me.

19 Jul 2015 18:53:54
Yeah Bamford would be a good signing but I wouldn't want Adeybayor he's the type of player who thinks he's doing Villa a favour by playing for us. i'd much rather someone with a point to prove like Lambert.

{Ed002's Note - AV is not one of the clubs looking to Bamford.}

Finch, who has mentioned another Benteke ?
I've not heard anyone talk in those terms. We won't necessarily get another Benteke style player, that's true. But if we are smart and maybe a little lucky, we could get a player or two for similar money to what we paid for Benteke, that make a similar impact.
It's a risky strategy but what transfer isn't a risk
What we mustn't do is throw our hands in the air, accept we will never replace the big man and do Tottenham the massive favour of taking a massive problem off their hands in Adebayor.
My preference would be to buy Austin plus one of the more speculative signings that have been mooted
2 reasons for this
1: We needed another striker even if Benteke had stayed
2: A seasoned goalscorer in the Prem such as Austin would take the pressure of the more risky purchase by giving them more time to settle

19 Jul 2015 22:37:16
Agreed mendax. Thing is I feel we've got good business out of benteke. We payed what 7 mil? No one had ever heard of benteke really when we brought him in. He was without a doubt a massive player for us but the only reason is because the team was built around benteke and how he plays. Sherwood is building his team the way he wants to play football. No one has had the Gaul to do this since Martin oniell let's just hope it pays off. From what I've seen so far tim knows what he wants

20 Jul 2015 11:52:27
Austins not a proven premier league goalscorer. he had one good season as did grant Holt for Norwich! Seen it happen many times.
I just don't get the negativity surrounding Adebayor when ts got the best out if him, if a cut price deal was put in place with spuds I see it as good business.
I think we all agree we need 2 strikers.

20 Jul 2015 20:09:22
I take the point about Austin, Finch.Aalthough I think he is a class or 2 above Holt
The point I was trying to make is that he does have some pedigree in this league when compared to the more speculative names mentioned from abroad, who all seem young and promising but by anyones book, would represent a risk
You'll never convince me on Adebayor, mate
He performs for new clubs and therefore for new managers then goes off the boil and becomes a problem
Sherwood had him for a short time so this constantly spouted theory that Sherwood has the formula to get him to play for him is overstated
They couldn't wait to get rid of him at Mancity and they've been desperate to offload him from Spuds for a long time. There has to be a reason for that

20 Jul 2015 22:32:09
What do you think of the 6m signing Sam Brennan looks good on YouTube?

21 Jul 2015 19:32:08
Sorry mate, I have no idea who you are on about
Who is he ?

19 Jul 2015 12:10:20
Sunday Mirror -Austin
Sunday People - Ade Loan

19 Jul 2015 11:15:45
Praets name is being thrown around again, would be very happy if this were to be true!
Also vague reports linking us with Alex Song as Delphs replacement

19 Jul 2015 19:48:18
If Song replaces Delph I will be ecstatic!
Honestly believe we will end up with Huddlestone instead though.

19 Jul 2015 09:24:21
Rumours around cb is holding out for a top 4 club, do we know if there is any truth in this

19 Jul 2015 11:26:54
None at all mate !
